This is a pair of illustrations that started as four separate colored pencil drawings, were scanned-in, finessed and assembled in Photoshop. The names come from the skin care line that I’ve worked on branding with Red Silk Essentials. The helpful images below, from the internet were my muses, thanks to google images and the photographers/websites, since I don’t have a real koi pond to sit beside and sketch all day. Did you know the Japanese word koi not only represents carp but love as well?
