draw lines along the body..... following the curves
then lines across....
then draw the scales evenly spaced.....
if you cant do that by eye then.... lol i dunno... PRAcTICE!
go look at as many koi flash as you can....
you willl get the hang of it....
its not too hard...
just gotta get your eye in wink.gif
