This idea came to me a while ago when I was thinking, "I want to drink lemonade!" It made me want to draw some lemon-related marine life. In refreshing colors. The color of blue lemonade just came to mind.

~~~Something like this.

I like sour flavors, so I really like lemon-related desserts. I don't make them anymore because I'm trying to cut down on sugar for my health, but I've been making a lot of Lemon Preserves for quite some time. Every year I would buy a box of lemons, clean them in salt, take out all the jars and pickle them and made them blue with blue curacao syrup 💙

When it comes to lemon-related marine life, the first thing that comes to mind is the lemon shark. And the lemon peel angelfish. I've drawn these two fish before.

 

The lemon shark is actually more of a gray+yellow color, but in the new drawing, the 'lemon yellow' will be emphasized, so I think I'll paint it very yellow.

 

Some lemon peels. if I draw them in the background later, they may look just like confetti.

 

I've heard that false sea lemons smell like citrus. That's so interesting.. Is it a coincidence or fate?

 When I just looked at the photos of Lemon Jelly, It's hard to imagine how they would move. So I looked up some videos and they are so interesting. Here is the link.

Fish are cutest when they have their mouths open.

Thank you!

Love these!!! There's also the citron goby which is one of my dream aquarium fish 💛

pikaole

Oh, I just looked them up. I think they are also called Lemon Coral Goby. But is citron a more popular name? I love gobys so much so I will add them if I can.

Steph Baxter

Yes, citron is french for lemon, so either name refers to the same fish! They're really cute and have a blue stripe that goes with your theme 😃

pikaole

Thanks for letting me know! Why do all the cute yellow fish have blue point color? It's just beautiful 😭

Cindy de Groot

I can't believe this! Just a few hours ago I was using your shark stickers, and I noticed the yellow one and thought it was so cute and funny that it was yellow. And now you post more yellow sharks!! :D I love the concept, I love lemons too. Both the taste and the aesthetic, a sliced lemon is just SO pretty to me. I love your lemon creatures!!

Skylar Opal

I love love love these!! Love the concept you have come up with 😊 I had no idea there were so many lemon-related sea creatures, that's amazing hehe! I can't wait to watch that video you linked for the jellies as well ✨💛 Also, it's amazing that false sea lemons smell like citrus :O I have your same question: coincidence or fate? So so intriguing!!

Bonnie

I love lemon desserts! And sharks.

Hehehe, thank you for using my stickers. It's already been 4 years since I drew this, but I'm happy to draw it again this time. I feel the same way about lemons as you. They taste good and are pretty. And I think they're perfect for this season 🍋💛💚

pikaole

Thank you! I originally liked the combination of fruits and animals, so I often drew this concept in the past, but it seems like it's been a while since I drew one. (I've drawn a fruit + frog series before, and a fruit + freshwater series.) I really like it when the animals have names that include fruits. The linked video also has other jellyfish videos, so if you watch them, you'll lose track of time 😁💕

pikaole

Any kind of dessert with lemon as the main ingredient is the best. And shark is one of the best fish, so it's the super best combination 💛

pikaole

Many good ideas start from silly little drawing and they have a lot of potential to grow into something great If only we could develop them💛 so keep it up keep drawing👍

pikaole

Thank you! Blue and yellow is one of my favorite color combinations. I can't wait to paint it.

pikaole

Oh!!!! It would be so fun!!!! What great timing! It's great that so many people are thinking about lemons at the same time 😄🍋🔥

pikaole

Thanks for reading Seth! To be honest though, there might be some inaccuracies sometimes lol. Rather than trying to make everything accurate, I pick out a few of the most distinctive features and design the characters 👍

pikaole

I used to do physical painting in the past, but now I work almost exclusively digitally :D

Christin

It’s so interesting to read the thought process and research behind your illustrations! I keep learning new information about sea life from you 😊

pikaole

Thank you for reading! I'm so happy to learn about new animals and share them with you all 👍👍
