The last fish 2

Last week I think I remember somebody asking about the process for my last fish, so now I am going to explain it whether you want to hear or not.

The first step is ruling every inch and making a grid.

The second step is creating the image on graph paper.

The third step is putting in the lines.

And then all you have to do is color it in.  To avoid putting the deep blue sea into 200 little squares I am going to add some smaller fish.  That one on the left became way too complicated, so I am tending towards those two smaller fish on the right.
