I don't like using bottles, for me it's easier and faster with the cup.
After the scales I used the darker green/grey mix to freehand those side markings ,the back ,and those three typical line markings off the eyes. Then I start with the pectoral fin. For this I cut out a template from cardstock, hold in place, and lightly outline just the top portion with grey. With that template in place I lightly shoot fin rays with the edge of a card. Then lightly shoot some white under the grey followed in this case with some candy yellow. The next pic is the reverse template for the fin drop shadow. Hold this one in place and shoot the bottom starting from the front, tight, and back off as you reach the rear of the fin. All of this paint is heavily thinned, heavily.
