Ink in the Pound

Graffite and colored pencils

9"x11"

for this drawing the assignment was to try and draw something from just an ink drip. I at first had trouble thinking of something, but ink to me has always felt aquatic, like some like of underwater creature. I ended up taking that idea of an aquatic animal and I decided to run with it.

I started by looking up pictures of different fish. I saw a koi fish in the recommended photos tab, and it was instantly something i wanted to draw. I started sketching with a graffite pencil, and continued until I was happy with the shape. I then went in with my colored pencils and colored in the koi fish and lily pad.
