There’s something very appealing about the naive, scribbly style Stefanie has used here. It’s not as simple as it looks: the light and colour on the fish’s scales is delicately done in a gorgeous complementary mix of orange, gold and sea green, while the thick, inky lines add definition and informality to the composition. The texture is particularly well done, I love the scratchy flowing pale lines and the very subtle diffused Leaky Pen blobs for bubbles. It’s a fun image with wide appeal and a lovely cartoon style. There have been a lot of great images submitted to the Gallery this week, and it’s been a tough choice to pick just one - my other favourites from the last seven days include Grimoire’s Angelus, The Day After in Times Square by Maximuz, Egg Symfony by GEORGE5, lydiayan’s Snake Angel, and the fantastic Rise and Shine by regular Painter contributor Wen-Xi Chen.
