Greetings, viewers. Sparkey here. This is my first ever Koi-fish design to draw. I think it took me around 15 minutes to complete fully, with the colouring. I used a 2B graphite pencil, and various Sharpey permenent markers. I enjoyed this, and wish to continue this mini project of mine by positioning, colouring and designing them differently. Critisism, anyone? :3
I think this looks rather nice as a design. :3 Good strong lines, the colours cover the larger areas well (like the head) which I find very impressive when you used markers. I think it was a good idea to keep some white left in the koi's shell, it helps to give shape and created that strong shine look a fish would have. I'm unsure about the upper square parts. Do you really need them? Cause right now it does draw the attention away from the fish itself, I think it might be the blue dots contributing to that - you could of course try adding more dots to the rest of the empty white space to even it out, but I don't know if that'd look good in the end. Other than that the drawing doesn't need any major changes, it looks great the way it is. :3
It's amazing what a pack of sharpie permanent markers can do. It looks great xD I'd like to see what it looks like when you're finished :'D
