BumblinBee Will Draw Your Fish!

Hello there everybody! I'm still getting used to digital art, and I know I need more practise. I was thinking it would be a fun idea to provide you guys with some fun while I'm at it! I can't promise it'll look very good nor can I guarantee that I will finish the drawings, but I'll certainly try my best hah

If you are interested, give me a relatively good photo of one of your fish, preferably in an interesting or dynamic pose (I'll be using this photo as a ref for pose and colours, so choose wisely).
I'll be letting a randomizer choose whether or not I will be doing just a sketch, an outline, an outline with flat colours, or an outline with colours & detailing. Basically the quality and effort that you get will be completely random! (this shakes things up for me and means I don't spend 6 hours on every single drawing lol).

The photo should be roughly this quality or better:



Here is an example of the quality that I mean:

Sketch - (Sorry, I don't have a sketch sample)

Outline -


Outline + flats -


Outline + flats + detailing -



If I had more time I'd offer to do shading and backgrounds too-

 

Oooh, ages ago I used to do digital art, but I never got a drawing tablet and that is sooo hard to be smooth with a mouse. I respect your skill!!

Would/could you do a shrimp? I can do a photo in the morning.

 

I would love to have u draw my fish thats so cool! Heres a ghost shrimp and a gsp

Sorry if it isnt the best quality puffers are so fast and dart around so much hunting and its hard to get photos

 

Here's a picture of my betta and german blue ram. You can choose whichever photo you prefer, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to give you options lol.

 

Agh! Would love my betta babies drawn. I’ll share a few photos and you can pick what works best for ya I don’t have a preference

Thank you! And trust me, I know! I'm currently borrowing a tablet from a friend because it has pressure sensitivity (which the cheap one I own does not), and even that has made it massively easier. Trying to draw with a mouse is impossible haha. I can attempt a shrimp, but I've never drawn one before it may not be very good hah

If it's alright with you I'll do the puffer rather than the shrimp (I'm more familiar with drawing fish hah)!

Ooooh, they're both so beautiful! I think I'll surprise you with whichever I choose once I've finished and posted it

OMG!! this sounds so awesome! would love a picture of my fish, might even print it off and put it on my wall!! the only thing is what fish... don't want to show favouritism towards other members of the tank hilarious ohwell...
here is some pictures of my beloved angelfish that I would love a drawing of!! (you pick which one)

I LOVE that third pic... sooo adorable. Sorry I just had to say it lol

 

I have tried countless times to draw my betta but I can only draw people lol. Here are some pics of her, she is still young so she doesn't have any color on scales. I kinda wanna go back to practicing fish again soon after seeing your post!

I have the same problem, only flipped! I cannot draw people for the life of me! Your betta is SO cute, I know she doesn't have all her colours yet but I kind of hope she keeps the ones she has, she's already so pretty

Alrighty, it's v late where I am so I will get started on these tomorrow! It may take me a few days to get to yours but I'll get there (hopefully lol)

Lol, Thank you!! I am also hoping she keeps these colors as well but if she changes it will be exciting! She has some blue shimmer in her fins which is gorgeous so she may have blue in the future.

thanks so much for the lovely comments about my angel!! you know when you take a photo just at the right time, would love to see it in art form, and by the way I can't take all the credit "ted" was a great model lol!!

 

Loving the feedback and the designs! So warming!
I’m sure my guy would love a sketch of himself and so would I! I can’t draw to save my life

Thank you! Until recently his scape was a Star Wars set up, so I called him Skywalker

Thank you so much! I love it! I think I'm going to print it out so I can put it next to his tank!

 

Wow! You're so talented! Can't wait to see how more then out. I'm gonna print out mine too, and put it next to tank

 

Thank you so much! I love it! I think I'm going to print it out so I can put it next to his tank!

Awww that's so cute, thank you! If you do do that please send me a picture, that would make me so happy! I actually just realized I forgot to add the outline, this will make it stand out a little more!

 

this is awesome

 

Agh! Would love my betta babies drawn. I’ll share a few photos and you can pick what works best for ya I don’t have a preference

You got outline + flats! I hope I got the colours right, it's always a little difficult to tell when it's a photo y'know. In case you (or anybody else) is wondering, I will probably do all of these drawings in full detail at some point in the future. So if you'd like, let me know if you'd be willing to wait for a final product (could be months from now, not sure when I will get around to it) and I can send it to you when it's completed!

 

These are just the best!

Did you do that angel fish yet??

that is so beautiful!!! last time I tried to draw a fish didn't go that well lol

Thank you!! The angel is next in line, I'm very excited about it! The randomizer gave me sketch for that one, but I'm going to make an exception because I think we all want to see that one in full detail haha. Oh, and you technically asked for a drawing first, so I need your photo!

that is so beautiful!!! last time I tried to draw a fish didn't go that well lol

Thank you so much Well, I've been drawing since I was like, 10? I'm 18 now, and I'm still not THAT good, I've got a lot of work ahead of me. I urge you to keep practising if it's something that you like doing.

 

I know, no pics yet, today was a toughie for me, I wasn't online much.

I Love your artistic style. Almost a hint a classic Disney, but with a better modern twist.

So excited to see the Angel tho

Thank you so much!!! It looks amazing! Defiantly going on my wall somewhere. Not sure if you have thought of this but you should totally sell these as stickers on etsy. I know I would 100% buy them. Just a thought !

 

watching this thread bc ur art is quite cute, love the example u showed at the beginning. Hope to see more

i wont add to ur queue because it seems like u got a handful and also I like, dont have a good photo of my betta loooolll i am also an illustrator so I feel those requests
godspeed

 

These are so great!! people would definitely pay for them (me being one of them lol) you are so amazing at these, could be a little business!!

 

Oh oh please do mine!

 

These are definitely quality. You could make money with this. When I was younger, I had a Tumblr account, for a video game, primarily Sims3. Anywho, with that came in depth characters, and even full stories, acted out with still shots from the video game. This trend also uses PS and gimp all the time, and more talented folks would do commission drawings of other people's characters, charge a few bucks sometimes more if it was a huge or detailed piece.

Moral of the story: people would pay for cute drawings. These are so cute i'd even display the ones that are not mine, just because they are that awesome.

I know your practicing, but it's a thought for the future.

 

Hi guys, I know I'm kind of late to the tread but I was wondering if you could draw my betta?

Awwww, send me a photo if you do decide to put it up, that would make my day! I just don't know how big of a market there is for this kind of stuff, and a I'm far cry from what other etsy and commission based artists can do. Many of my friends are artists (one of which does pet commissions that are way better than mine, if you're thinking of getting one done I'd recommend her, her name is alexkosteckasilva on insta), and they do commission work all the time. But they've also been doing digital art for years, I only started doing it this month. It feels a little premature to start selling anything, but I really appreciate your suggestion!

Aww, you're too sweet! Thank you for understanding, it is a little swamped here. If things slow down please leave a photo of your betta here, I'd love to draw them. I have to assume you made your avatar, it looks amazing! Do you post anything to social media? Deviantart, instagram? I'd love to follow up on your work.

These are so great!! people would definitely pay for them (me being one of them lol) you are so amazing at these, could be a little business!!

Again, thank you so so much! I don't really share my art with other people, so I don't get feedback very often and the influx of positive and encouraging replies from you and everybody else has been a massive confidence booster. I'm not opposed to commission work, I could do something like my finalized example on the first post that has shading + background + maybe a little message if you (or anybody) is interested? But as I mentioned above, I just don't think I'm really confident enough to be boasting my art from a selling perspective. But thank you so much, it means a lot to hear people say that.

Oh oh please do mine!

Send me a photo! It may take a while, I'm doing these on a first come first serve basis so it may be a while before I get to yours!

Hi guys, I know I'm kind of late to the tread but I was wondering if you could draw my betta?

I most certainly can but just know it may take a little while. I have to say, your betta is B E A U T I F U L, love those pink tones!

This sounds like such a good idea! I have a couple of photos and please feel free to draw any one of them. They are of my guppy, my spiny eel and my axolotl. (My guppy and axolotl are my favorite though!) I hope they are good enough photos to draw! If you don't have time to draw them then I don't mind at all, you will probably be busy! Here are the photos:

Completed in full detail! If you'd like a transparent background instead just let me know! I had lots of fun with this one, the pose is too cute! Wasn't sure if they were a boy or a girl, and it ended up looks quite feminine, I hope thats alright?

 

These are amazing!! You could definitely set up shop on some platform and make some money. As you can see, fish owners love portraits of their babies hilarious

My randomizer gave you outline! If you are so inclined, you could use one of those online colouring page tools or an art program to colour it in! I wish I had the time to do it myself, but I'd never make it through all of these if I did each one in full detail. I hope you like it!
