Drawing steps of goldfish in Chinese painting

Lighten the ink with a big brush, dip the pen tip in thick ink, and point out the head of the goldfish on the side. Step 2: Draw a fishtail on the side. Step 3: Lighten the ink with a big white cloud pen and draw a fisheye in the center. Step 4: Draw the belly and ventral fin of the fish. Step 5: Point out your eyes with thick ink.

Goldfish has been loved by people since ancient times. Many poets and painters in the past dynasties often used this as a theme to recite poems and paint, and they were full of praise. The ancients called it "the golden scale fairy" and "the peony in the water".

In order to express goldfish with Chinese painting, besides recognizing its body structure, understanding its movement mechanism and observing its posture, the most important thing is to carefully study the method of pen and ink, which is more expensive than reality. On the premise of basically grasping the shape of goldfish, all parts should be touched, and the connection is vague. Although I don't draw water, I feel like I'm in the water.
