We use children's drawings for design purposes

Making drawings is easy. First, you need to use pencil on paper to draw such pictures that will please both the baby and the artist-designer himself.

How to draw fish decoratively?

Decorative painting differs from natural painting in that the objects depicted look fabulous, they often have traits inherent in people: smiles, cool expressions of “faces”, freckles or eyelashes. Our fish will only be awarded a smile and chubby cheeks, the rest of it will be as close to reality as possible. Since it is impossible to draw fish similar to real, living kids, many details are still drawn schematically.

  8. Shading should be applied to the fins and tail.
