[ study ] salmon (Patreon)

I suddenly I wanted to draw some fish as always. When I'm debating whether to be a marine or freshwater fish... here's the perfect creature. salmon!

Salmon is a fish that many people are familiar as a food. In my case, I never eat fish, but often meet them in the game. (Yeap, Splatoon!)

Salmon change their appearance throughout their lifetime. It is so beautiful and mysterious.. The cute patterns they had as babies (called parr marks) disappear, and in the sea, silvery blue fish return to fresh water and turn pink.

Personally, I love parr stage salmon. I first saw Masu salmon parr (they also live in Korea) in an aquarium about 20 years ago, and I was absolutely mesmerized. Their scales were shiny and beautiful like a rainbow.

Thank you!
