[edit] I have a correction to make: as they told me this is not a koi but a fantail fish! Sorry for the mistake!

As promised here there is my first tutotial! I took those step by step pictures in August on request for the Colombian pubblication "en Familia" and I decided to publish them here on DA, expecially for share some tips with other polymer clay artists.
The pubblication asked me to make an animal and I chose a fish taking inspiration from my goldfish Quattro.
I will update it if something else comes to my mind. If you use the tutorial I'd be really happy if you show me the result!

Note: pay attention while working with kinifes or pointed objects, if you're a child ask an adult to help you.

I forgot to tell that as dark colors as red blue (but also yellow) have a tendancy to stain lighter clay (as white or pale skin color) you should work first with white then touch darker colors. When that's not possible you should change your gloves or wash them (water and soap aren't enough, frequently you have to brush the gloves).
