School of Fish in the Ocean

School of Fish in the Ocean is a classic sea-life motif. These images offer plenty of room for blues, teals, and greens. For gradients, layer two or three shades and blend gently. Scales, fins, and water bubbles are small detail areas that bring the image to life.

For the school of fish, work with different shades of blue for the background — use darker blue at the top and lighter blue at the bottom to create depth. Color the individual fish alternately in yellow, orange, silver, and pink to make the school look more lively. Use green and brown for water plants swimming between the fish. Mark scales and eyes with fine black or dark blue lines — this makes the details shine. Try glitter effects with light gray to simulate light in the water.
