Good morning people and welcome to Stinky's Art Class where we have the best students in the world! Today's lesson is how to draw a koi fish.

I hope I pronounced that right. If I didn't tell him, please let me know. So I'm going to take some risk on my art today. Class, I was thinking about just drawing a koi fish and, you know, calling it good. Calling it a day.
But then I thought, you know, this is an opportunity for me to learn and grow and to show the class that, you know, it's okay to take some risks in your art. So that's what I want to do today. I want to show you that, you know, I'm willing to stick out my neck and take a risk.
And so let's jump right into this lesson and I encourage you to take some risks with your art as well. So here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to draw a koi fish. Okay, I was just going to do it in a pond, but I decided to take a little bit of a risk here and do an advanced lesson and draw it in a fish tank.
Okay, this is gonna incorporate a lot of challenges. So, let's see what happens. Okay, I got my fishbowl, my fish tank. Now, I got to draw the first koi fish. Okay, I'm already feeling the challenge and the pressure, class. You know, and I already feel like I made a mistake. I usually draw the eyeballs first and I didn't draw the eyeballs first. I have to do those.
Lots to make that koi fish smile. Okay, well, these koi fish, they have these really cool fins, class. And I feel like I'm just taking this big risk trying to do these koi fish. You know, in this fish tank. It's very difficult for me to draw this, but I'm trying to do my best here. And let's give, should we do some sleepy eyes on this fish?
Oh, let's look more like angry eyes. But let's give the fish a smile. Okay, this class, I took a risk and I am feeling the pressure now. But I think I can pull it off. You know, I hope. The fins just look amazing. Okay, I'm working hard, class. Hmhm seems very, very interesting.
How is everyone feeling about this? I knew it was risky. I feel like there has to be some perspective issues up here. I'm just not quite sure, class. Feeling a little bit overwhelmed.
The water's still on the top of the water. I mean, the water's on top of the jar. Okay, now let's do this. You know, let's give these koi fish the proper tank that they need sort of seaweed.
So it's okay if you need to take some risk in your art. We all need to step outside of our comfort zone and I feel like this one right here is just a little bit strange looking. But there's not much I can do about it at this point.
So just be happy with it, alright? I just got to be happy, you know? I got to be happy. I took the risk and, you know, I took a risk. And, you know, I'd say it turned out okay. Give a little bubbles. Oh, I know, put some ripples in the water. These koi fish are swimming around pretty aggressively. Oh, gills! And I'm missing out.
Okay, let's get a close up of this. You know, sometimes in your art, you have to step out of your comfort zone, take a risk. you know, put in a little extra time and effort I mean, I was a little bit stressing on this. It was easy, but, you know, I went ahead and I believed in myself and, you know, it started to come together.
So class, I want you to believe in yourself, you know, take some risks in your art. Step outside of your comfort zone and try to do some art that feels like it's maybe more advanced than your skill. And just see what happens. I think you'll enjoy it. So, take care everybody. Have a great night and we'll see you back in class tomorrow morning. Thanks, bye.
