KOI -color pencil drawing! :)

Hello everyone! I will share to you my newest drawing hehehe. It is quite simple I hope you like it. I'll show to you how it will be done. :) my subject today is a koi fish. Koi is a colorful variety of a carp, some varieties of it are distinguished by some japanese.

At first, I used soft pencil on drawing the fade outline of my subject to have basic idea on layering the color.

I put red color on the part that have darker part of th body like as the picture shown below.

Then, I started putting the orange color using parallel stroke. I always use that stroke because for me it is quite easy to perform to achieve the right color tone. There different types of stroke but i prefer the parallel stroke. :)

For the fins, I used black and gold color.

For the tail, I used red, orange, black and gold color.

Then for the black marks as you see on the picture below I used black pencil.

Finally! I used soft pencil on shading the shadow to look like floating hehehehe.

Don't forget to sign your drawing. :)

I hope you like my new art work. :) Thank you and God bless.

At your service,
