CommentsDevious CommentsThank you very much! Not bad for the first critique I've ever received, it's right what I'd expect: what's not so great and what it does. And those "what's not so great" have been usually small details, not big issues that could distract you from the whole picture.
As of the fish, glad you say it looks nice. It was actually the first time I made one -- Welcome to an experience where friendship has no limits... Let's save tourism in Mexico by saying no to Cancun (and environs) and yes to places like Veracruz. Who agrees? I try to be fair in my critiques, and point out the good and the bad together. No one just wants to hear about the bad, but if you don't hear about it, how do you improve?

I absolutely love the effect of the water. It's very difficult to draw and you got a very realistic feeling with the soft rippling waves; kudos!
Another thing I love is the fish! A lot of people don't take the time to actually look at things before they draw them, and you got the fins all right! I love the speckled design you gave his skin as well, makes him look very realistic.
The only thing I think could use some work would be the anatomy. I know that you're going for a stylized look here, but their hands still seem very awkward. The one that's holding up the fishing line looks more like he's holding up a dirty sock. If you've ever gone fishing than you probably know that fish are fairly heavy and when you're holding the line you have to grip the whole thing because those fish will be wiggling and flipping and bouncing around. The females hands also seem very small though that isn't quite as noticeable.
Overall, a good job and a very unique look to a bright colorful picture.
