In this tutorial we are going to draw a fish in Photoshop illustrator.We will learn the use of gradient fill in this tutorial.

Let’s see the preview:

First, select the Pencil tool from the Tool box or press “N” from keyboard.

Draw the shape of the fish body with it and adjust the curves with the curve handles.

Now to color it with Gradient fill, we have the select the gradient option from the tool box (as shown in figure)

In the Gradient palette, we have to adjust the shade of color by sliding the white diamond above the bar mark. The squares under the bar are color stop. To add additional color stop just click over the color bar and to delete a color stop click on the square and drag it outside the palette.

Now draw the wings and tail with Pencil tool and color it with Gradient fill.

Using Pencil tool again, draw some lines along the wings and tail. Here no stroke will be used.

Now with the Paintbrush tool (B), draw some curved lines onto the previously drawn lines. This time no fill only stroke.

Draw a curve with pencil tool with no stroke and gradient fill.

To make its eye draw a white circle and a comparatively small black circle within it. Also make some spots of different colors on its body and draw smiley lips with Pencil. Place the previously drawn curve beside eye.

Now You are proud owner of a beautiful sea fish !!!
