Lineart > color > patterns > painting 🐟

Step by step of making art work of a school of fish. 1. Flat color base with lineart

2. Filling in the fish with flat colors

3. Adding patterns and details to the fish bodies

4. Painting over the individual layers with dynamic sweeping shadows and lights to make the fish look shimmering
