How to Simply... draw a rainbow parrotfish?
Jennie Wickings, artist and illustrator, finds all her inspiration in animals and nature. In this tutorial you will learn how to draw a rainbow parrotfish with colouring pencils!
Step 1:
Look online to find a model of a rainbow parrotfish. You can also find your inspiration in aquariums! To colour your fish, find inspiration by simply looking at flowers around you.
Step 2:
Start with the lightest colouring pencil, in this tutorial, Jennie starts with yellow. And draw the outline.
Step 3:
Highlight part of the outline, in blue.
Tip: Pay attention to the relationship between the mouse and the eye of the fish, as well as the proportions! The tail of a fish is always longer than expected.
Step 4:
Switch back to the yellow colouring pencil.
Tip: always go lighter to darker and make sure to go light when pressing the pencils: you can always go darker if needed!
Step 5:
Use the orange and the red and go on colouring your fish. Mix the orange with the yellow.
Step 6:
Use the blue and mix with yellow as well to achieve a very nice turquoise. Keep on adding more colours: red, green, purple
Tip: press harder and harder toward the end to have some very vibrant colours!
Step 7:
Use the blue to add more details and do not forget to leave some white highlights.
