.:Among the koi:.by ~handrewx

Manga & Anime / Traditional Media / Paintings

I always wanted to draw an illust about japanese carps. The other day, without having internet, I cleaned a bit my working space until I found my precious watercolours set and brushes, so I decided working on this. [I might also need to refill some materials again...]

Tools: HB pencil + Canson / Montval paper + watercolours
Hours spent: I made it during spare time... (About 4 hours.)
Collection of nine watercolour pieces.
Enjoy!

"While browsing this artist's gallery, this particular piece caught my attention. Seeing it in full view just took my breath away and I cannot fathom the amazing use of watercolors. A remarkable piece with such soft and delicate details; the various use of color between the koi and watery background shows a diverse, but also homogeneous environment. This illustration is like something from a [Japanese] tale or myth. The one in the midst of everything appears to have a melancholic expression in his eyes, and yet he does not look sad. It would seem, however, that he has found his rightful place among the koi." .:Among the koi:. by =handrewx ( Suggested by =ryuuha and Featured by `azarath )
