This is a piece I did to experiment with using colored pencils. I did a base in mechanical pencil trying to map out the animals figures then outlined it in black sharpie marker, finalizing it all by blending colored pencils. Its like a typical oriental style image of a koi fish but with the addition of a bird giving it a ying and yang field of both worlds. Its a bit choppy to be honest but first time drawing a koi and the bird is just a mix of different pictures I was looking at.
it does remind me of the yin-yang thing but maybe if the koi was flipped the other way where its head was at the feet..? like how on the yinyang symbol its ...yeah, more on one side or.. im bad at explaining/desribig.
but i like the colours and how you did the water and sky

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
