C-Curved Koi With Scale Rows and Flowing Fins

A single koi fish curves in a large C shape, head at the lower right and tail swooping up toward the top. The body is covered in rows of small overlapping half-circle scales, and a twisted, ribbed band runs along its back from head to tail. The tail and fins are long and wavy, with fine lines that fan out and a few small dots near the edges. The head has a round eye, a decorated patch on the cheek, and two curly whiskers near the mouth. Lots of thin lines and open space make this a relaxing page for older kids, teens, and adults, and it prints cleanly at home. Try a gradient on the scales, moving from one color at the head to another near the tail, then leave the ribbed band a contrasting shade so it stands out.
