Marker drawing of a ribbon eel, which is bright blue with a yellow dorsal fin and the tips of it’s vaguely horn looking jaws are also yellow. Its mouth is gaping open.
Found some water color markers on sale and decided to test them on the brightly colored Ribbon Eel for #SundayFishSketch
Ink and watercolor sketch of a fish with a short snout on top and an ink sketch of a fish with a long snout on the bottom.

I still have #Hoppers on my mind. Was trying to figure out what would be a majestic non-salmon non-sturgeon fish species befitting Beaverton's Animal Council, so here is a prickly sculpin (Cottus asper) imagined as the Fish Queen. All hail the Fish Queen!! #SundayFishSketch #PondRules 🦑🐡🧪

Simple watercolour of a blue Tang, mostly blue body, yellow tail and top of pectoral fins, black swirls on body.
Long time since I posted a #SundayFishSketch. All my previous art was digital. I was challenged to dabble in watercolour and here's a first attempt. Blue Tang. #SciArt
Watercolor painting of a Common Remora (aka Suckerfish), Remora remora. While they are undeniably ugly, shark suckers are not vampires—they do not feed directly on the host. Instead, they use sharks to lower their energy consumption, since, if they hang on to a shark, they don’t have to swim or hunt for themselves.

Watercolor painting of a Mushroomcoral Pipefish, Siokunichthys nigrolineatus. This tiny seahorse cousin is about 8mm (1/8th of an inch) in diameter. This finishes my set of seahorses and other Syngnathiformes in honor of Project Seahorse. Next up: a set of ten ‘Ugly Fish,’ because ugly fish need love, too.

Ink drawing of a lake sturgeon, he’s giving side eye from on high while looking cool as hell. The barbels on the underside of his face really make the look.
I volunteered this past week for a women and nonbinary students in STEMM event at the museum and was asked what my favorite Great Lakes fish was, so here he is, the Lake Sturgeon for #SundayFishSketch

An illustration of three Chinese Paddlefish swimming in the Yangtze River. Hints of blue sky can be seen through the turquoise water surface. The river bottom is silty and sloping downward. This is still a work in progress, so the paddlefish don't have a lot of detail yet, but the viewer can see the basic colors. They are a darker gray on top, and fade to a cream/white on their bellies. Two of the fish are swimming closer to the river bottom, and one is swimming above them, almost in silhouette along the light of the water surface.
I had wanted to try and finish this for today's #SundayFishSketch, but alas, that did not happen. So here is a work in progress of some Chinese Paddlefish 🐡
Watercolor painting of a Shortfin Pipefish, Cosmocampus elucens. This small, Western Atlantic pipefish lives in shallow seagrass and algae beds where its shape and coloration helps it hide from predators. In support of the IUCN SSC Seahorse, Pipefish, and Seadragon Specialist Group, this set of ten paintings will be pipefish and other Syngnathiformes.

Watercolor painting of a Robust Ghost Pipefish, Solenostomis cyanopterus. Unlike true seahorses, female pipefish are the ones that brood the eggs rather than the males.

Watercolor painting of a Denise’s Pygmy Seahorse, Hippocampus denise. This is one of the smallest seahorses. It is smaller and smoother than the Bargibant’s Pygmy, but so little is known about this species that it is also classified as ‘data deficient’ by the IUCN. In support of the IUCN SSC Seahorse, Pipefish, and Seadragon Specialist Group , my next set of ten paintings will be pipefish and other Syngnathiformes.
