This idea came to me a while ago when I was thinking, "I want to drink lemonade!" It made me want to draw some lemon-related marine life. In refreshing colors. The color of blue lemonade just came to mind.
~~~Something like this.
I like sour flavors, so I really like lemon-related desserts. I don't make them anymore because I'm trying to cut down on sugar for my health, but I've been making a lot of Lemon Preserves for quite some time. Every year I would buy a box of lemons, clean them in salt, take out all the jars and pickle them and made them blue with blue curacao syrup π
When it comes to lemon-related marine life, the first thing that comes to mind is the lemon shark. And the lemon peel angelfish. I've drawn these two fish before.
The lemon shark is actually more of a gray+yellow color, but in the new drawing, the 'lemon yellow' will be emphasized, so I think I'll paint it very yellow.
Some lemon peels. if I draw them in the background later, they may look just like confetti.
I've heard that false sea lemons smell like citrus. That's so interesting.. Is it a coincidence or fate?
When I just looked at the photos of Lemon Jelly, It's hard to imagine how they would move. So I looked up some videos and they are so interesting. Here is the link.

Fish are cutest when they have their mouths open.
Thank you!

Itβs so interesting to read the thought process and research behind your illustrations! I keep learning new information about sea life from you π

Thanks for reading Seth! To be honest though, there might be some inaccuracies sometimes lol. Rather than trying to make everything accurate, I pick out a few of the most distinctive features and design the characters π

Oh!!!! It would be so fun!!!! What great timing! It's great that so many people are thinking about lemons at the same time πππ₯

I love all these comments! You really know how to do your research. Itβs so fascinating! And you condense all the information into little bite sized factoids. Itβs really impressive!
