Fish! Butterflyfish! All of the butterflyfish of my recent series together!

I had a lot of fun doing this series as fish aren't something I normally draw or paint.

I have this as a print up on INPRNT, as well as a portrait-layout version!

Cabrinha, coió, voador-de-fundo ou peixe-borboleta (nome comum mais usado para peixes da família Chaetodontidae) são nomes comuns dados a vários peixes da família Triglidae. Pertencem à ordem Scorpaeniformes, pois possuem espinhos venenosos em cima da cabeça e barbatanas peitorais que lembram dedos, que usam para se locomover no leito arenoso marinho.
