Koi Pond - Desk Mouse Pad

This was a commission from a friend who wanted a custom illustration for a mouse pad. This project was a big challenge for me as this was my first commission ever and I wanted it to be as amazing as I could make it. I always struggled with perspectives so while working on this project I redrew the fish and landscape a lot. It was fun figuring out the color pallet and coordinating what my friend was envisioning for the design.

This was also the first time I had this large of a canvas size. It allowed me to add more small details but I also has to be conscious of filling up the whole space too. So I had to play around with the composition of the piece and experiment with the sizes of the fish and plants.
