This is really cool. The colours and the shapes on the fish make me think of fire. The simple background with the bubbles work really well.

O.O
I seriously thought this was lineless vector art from the thumbnail; it's just so...CLEAN. And very vivid.

That's beautiful! I like the colours very much!
And how everything looks clear even though it's drawn with acrylic.. xD (I have problems with that, lol)
Cute fish

thank you ^^
ummm...what can i do for you? these are pretty flat colors.
1 - start with the base color (red)
2 - add a darker red for all shadings
3 - add lighter red or even orange for all the highlights
VOILA!

voila indeed! Now I shall go and do that!! But I always find the colour I mixed going away.. T.T remix it and it's slightly different!

I really like the color palette you used. Choosing warmer colors keeps the fishy from fading into the background. The fish seems so fluid too. I love how flowy it looks. Great work!!

Good job on this! you have let the colours be the shaders, not added another colour to make it so, which i think is and looks awesome. You have also managed to make the hook look metal like shiny. Only thing is the mouth, i would have liked if there was a shade inside it, making it look deeper, well thats just my opinion
And well i was impressed with it even before i noticed this was your first acrylic painting
Very well done

The hook is missing the bait... No fishy! Don't bite the hook that have no bait! It's not worth ittttttttttttttt!
Anyways, it's really nicely painted... I can't paint for crap, even if my life is depended on it >.<

The composition and colours work very well together. It also has a very nice Pop Art feel to it, with the prominent, bright colours and cartooned feel. I really don't have anything bad to say about this piece.
A job well done, methinks.

This could've easily been a vectorized digital drawing -- I'm so glad to see you've used traditional media!! Great job!
