Description This was really fun to paint, omg. I like the way it turned out!
The tail fin is kinda bland, though. That could've had more detail...

The fish painting took about 20-30 minutes by itself, but creating a background took longer. XDD I couldn't figure out what I wanted it to look like. But now I found the perfect one!

Oh yeah, and there's a little white ring around the fishie cuz I had to make it transparent to put in the background. =___=

I would watermark this but watermarks look ugly. :<

Tools:
The fish was painted entirely in openCanvas 4+.
Background made in Photoshop.

Official time taken:
about 45 minutes.

CRITISIZM IS WELCOME! I never painted a fishy before and I want to paint another one, so I'd like your input. =3
