To Celebrate World Art Day, I Drew Milk Fish In Oil Pastels

Hello, today, April 15, is World Art Day. I am going to show you what I drew today. I've been planning to draw Bangus, or Milk Fish, in English for a long time, but I always forget to do it. Yesterday I cooked Bangus, and I had the opportunity to take a photo of it for reference. I like it cut so that what I did.

I've been loving to draw different kinds of fruits and animals in oil pastels lately, so I might be drawing more in the future, so stay tuned for it.

Materials I Used:

---

Craft Time!

I am going to start with drawing the reference using this dark gray oil pastel. As I always say, it doesn't have to be perfect. Just close enough is good.

---

At first, I like to experiment with the color I am going to use, blocking each color I am going to use or not.

---

Next is adding the dark shades, which are the shadows. It is important to know where your shadows are because if not, the drawing will look flatter, no matter what.

---

In this part, I am starting to add more dimension to the drawing by doing light to darker shades of color simultaneously.

---

Layering the drawing with white to blend the harsh contrast to the drawing.

---

Now adding shadows of the fish part.

---

Finalize with accent color to make it look more interesting.

---

To add texture and highlight at the same time. I am going to use my clay tool as my scratching tool.

---

Here is a close-up look at the texture I made. I just go with the flow with it.

---

Happy World Art Day!
