Cardinal tetra(NOV08) 16 steps WIP gif
[ Drawings ] tetra, hamster, finch
Tetra is the common name of various small freshwater characiform fishes.
(the name tetra also applies to other non-characiform species of fish.)
I've focused on fish that are characiform fishes and also have tetra names.
Sketch
When drawing animals of different sizes, I draw them in this order.
- 1. First, draw chunks from the big fish
- 2. Then after drawing a medium-sized fish
- 3. Place small fishes in the last remaining spot.
Most of the tetras in this picture are 1 to 3 inches. The largest is the sailfin tetra. It's actually bigger, but I couldn't draw it too big, so I drew it a little smaller.
Almost 13 years ago I had 5 cardinal tetras.
I loved watching them swim.
And I loved watching Rummy nose's videos.
Their names are cute. I heard that the name of the fish comes from the fact that the face of the fish is as red as a drunk person. There is also a similar fish called false rummy nose. I imagined a false rummy nose complaining about its own name.
Thank you!
