Description
A Christmas gift for my dad
Done with Chinese ink, watercolor and tempera paint on regular watercolor paper. I like the orange and black one best, personally 
My Chinese seals did not work well on this kind of paper
Media: Watercolors, Chinese ink, tempera on watercolor paper.

I want to know what their conversation is about, I wonder if they are commenting on another fish's spots.

Really pretty. You're drawing in many styles and you're good with composition and colors, just try to keep in mind what I told you about "really" looking at things and taking mental pics of the form and such

I like how you used the media for the patches on the fishes bodies. They don't look flat and suit the bodies forms very well. Also having the fish differ in colour adds variety, while the minor soft blue does work well for the simple bg. I might think that these lines on the fins were a bit randomly drawn, especially for the left fish's. The lines on the topfin don't really suit the pov either.
