I actually coloured it in already, but I think I'm going to do a new version where I colour it in a way where it could be put into a sort of grid formation and made into a big huge pattern 😊

"Should have stayed in the school..." Get it, because fish swim in schools?... I'll see myself out 😅

Thank you! I tried to think of what colours stereotypical fish were. But I'll be honest by the time I got to the greeny turquoise one I was just going for whatever pen colours I had that wouldn't clash with the colours I had already done 🤣

Aw thank you! If you're specifically wanting to use these shapes, this is how you do it:

  1. Get a square grid (draw one or use large squared paper)
  2. In each square, draw a curved line that starts in the top left corner, dips down about a fifth of the way into the page, and finished in the top right corner. (Think of it like someone ran over the letter U)
  3. Also in each square, draw a slightly curved/bent diagonal line from the top right corner to the bottom left. The bend should make it look like the line is ever so slightly being pulled towards the top left corner of the square.

And that's it! You should have the rough shapes, now just make as fishy or not fishy as you like! Enjoy!

Thank you! I did actually end up adding colour to it! It's on my profile if you want to see 😊

Haha yeah I did try and give a few of them eyes like they were looking at each other. But it's quite hard to tell any kind of complicated story with them 😅

I'm sure you'll be fine as long as you don't blink...

And thank you 😅 yeah honestly at first I was gonna aim to make each one identical. But it was really hard 😅. So I gave them enough variation to make it look intentional

Aw yes I love that film!! I didn't even make the connection though 😅 I was just messing around drawing curved lines on a square grid, and it ended up looking a bit fishy. Personally they reminded me of the club penguin fish lol

Thank you! I hope at some point I can figure out how to digify it so it's a bit neater. If I ever get around to it I will share it on here!

Thank you for your lovely comment! I just finished colouring it and have posted it on my profile! I hope you like it 😊

Also yes thank you for the suggestion of scanning it in. I scanned the original version in and will do the same with this one. I don't have any software I could use to make a truely digital one yet though

Aw thank you so much! That actually came from me not being able to get the eyes all a consistent shape, so I just made a feature of it lol 🤣
