The skin of most bony and cartilaginous fishes is covered by scales. Read some information before we introduce to you the steps on how to draw fish scales. Scales vary enormously in size, shape, structure, and extent, ranging from rigid armor plates in fishes such as shrimp fishes and box fishes, to microscopic or absent in fishes such as eels and angler fishes.
Make series of interconnected U shape curves. Draw a couple of layers having the same pattern. Outline your drawing to finalize the shapes of the scales. The final step on how to draw fish scales is to color your drawing using different shades of green. I hope you made a realistic drawing.
