Finished another of the Pokemon taiyaki stickers! This is the fifth in a series, and it will be turned into a physical product to be sold on my Etsy. This one is the Wishiwashi. Not sure what to do next (Wailord? Wailmer?) but I do want to make more of these. Check out the other ones I've drawn!

For a Pokemon review, have you covered Wishiwashi before?
While the school form is the big thing Wishiwashi's (great name btw) known for, I do like the base design. Very vaguely based off a sardine, it looks appropriately pathetic and sad, with its distinctive wobbly eye shape and permanent frown. I also like the use of blue to give the body some contrast, and the teardrop shapes forming a stripe down the side, which kind of fit with its habit of crying when in distress.
If Wishiwashi's solo form was all there was to it, it would be a serviceable albeit pretty standard fish Pokemon. Instead, it has a fantastic concept—when threatened, a few hundred Wishiwashi band together to form a school in the form of a GIANT fish. That's an incredibly fun and memorable idea.
I also like the design of the school form a lot. They use the basic teardrop shape of Wishiwashi as a pattern and built it up via colors, with progressively darker blue bands going down the body and bright blue spots meant to be the Wishiwashi's eyes. Some additional white by the eye helps make it pop and the entire thing looks appropriately intimidating.
I like that the fish aren't illustrated individually, but instead indicated through shape and silhouette in areas like the eye, front fins, side markings, and the back tail, which is starting to come apart a bit. Despite being a very complex design in theory, this stylization keeps everything readable while also still getting the point across.
Overall, I really like this fish. The concept is great, the gimmick is fun, and the designs for both forms are solid and connect back to the theme perfectly. 10/10 would bully this fish again
