Hi #PortfolioDay, I'm Jennifer and I love to draw all kinds of fish 🐡

Illustration of an American Paddlefish swimming along a rocky river bottom. The viewer is looking slightly up at the paddlefish, and in the background the sun is shining through the waves.

An illustration of Cownose Rays. The illustration is a bird's eye view of five Cownose Rays swimming in shallow, turquoise water. The sea floor is sandy, and water ripples are reflected on it.

An illustration of a Grass Carp swimming through a forest of lily pads. The water is slightly murky and the sun is illuminating the lily pads from above.

An illustration of a small school of Lookdowns. The fish are swimming along a sandy ocean floor, sunlight filtering through the waves above. Small nondescript fish, silver in color, swim in the background. Overall, the image has a very aqua blue tone.
