Nishiki Maid

This is my entry for ‘s Koi Contest (info - [link] )

Inspired by Autumn Mucha 1 . The shape of the dress naturally flowed into fins, gills and tail.

Watercolor pencils on bristol.



Artist's note (plea?): I am trying to find ways to improve, so if you are leaving a comment I would love it if you would tell me one thing I could have added, done differently, changed, etc that may make this a better image. (this is just a request, not a demand or expectation).

I'll start: visually its a little dull. Could have expanded on art nouveau theme by adding more intricate border &/or background.
