Hi dear readers, I'm Pilino, welcome to open this article, happy to you!
Unless we dive or view the magnificent Aquarium, we mostly watch the fish from above. Koi fish are one of the most elegant and beautiful fish. They can be found in tranquil water gardens and ponds around the world. Koi fish don't actually have a natural habitat because they were first bred from common carp in the 19th centuryThe origin of the koi can be traced back to China, and its ancestor is a red carp native to ChinaLater, this red carp was introduced to Japan, and after years of cross-breeding, it formed a characteristic red carp, and after World War II, it was renamed koi for decorative purposes and food.
Nowadays, they are rarely eaten and are bred by people as beautiful color breeds and companions. That's right – mate! They have proven to be very friendly.
Step 1: Draw the S-curve
Start with an S-shaped curve and focus on the big curve at the top. This will be the starting point for your adorable koi.
Step 2: Draw another curve
Starting at the top, bend outward in the opposite direction, forming another S-shaped curve. This line will taper inward, so the bottom is very narrow. Your koi is starting to take shape!
Step 3: Draw the tail and fins
There are three things to pay attention to when drawing the fins of a koi fish from above. Below the widest area, draw two C-shaped curves toward the top.
Draw again in the middle of the fish. The C-shaped curve at the top of each set should be a little longer than the bottom one. At the bottom, draw two long C-shaped curves that arch outward. Now, instead of drawing another set of C-shaped curves, draw a small V-shaped shape on the inside of the bottom two C-shaped curves.
Step 4: Add markers to create textures
Connect the two C-curves of each section with a zigzag line.
Now, use the marker technique to create some texture on the fins. from
Start with your body and flick the pen down at the same angle as the fin movement. Think of it as a guided shadow. Add more depth near the body and become thinner at the end of each fin.
Step 5: Bring the koi to life
It's time to bring this fish back to life!
Add two oval eyes to the top of the body. Add two whiskers with two small C-shaped curves to the top of the fish. These little whiskers are actually called tentacles (tentacles have taste buds, so koi fish don't need to open their mouths to taste the flavor!). ）。
Draw a very shallow curve at the widest point of the fish's body to highlight the junction of the head and body. Now draw a center line along the S-shaped curve of the body. Draw another line next to it, connecting the two dots at the top and bottom.
Step 6: Add the finishing touches
Even if there are only black lines, you can show the bright color spots of the koi by adding a jagged circle to the koi's body.
Optional: Add some color!
Try using spot colors. Some koi fish have a lovely orange color and sometimes black markings, so we only use orange to enhance them.
