Animating Starts

Today I finally got to start animating! Since last year, I've missed animating and using Animationish, because I can just zone out and focus on what I'm working on in a peaceful and calm way. I started off today by drawing the reef that the fish (who loses its colour) and some other fish are swimming in, to give the viewer a good idea of whereabouts the story might be set. I found it difficult to figure out how to move the tail properly so the fish would look like it was swimming, but I finally got over this and made it swim. Here is a screenshot of what I got done this lesson. Next lesson I'm planning on drawing some schools of bright and colourful fish swimming past in the background.
