Fig 1.2.2
Koi Fish: The Japanese and the Chinese strongly believe that a Koi fish pond at home can bring good fortune and good health to the owner. In the context of the Chinese New Year, they are another symbol of prosperity. Koi fish are very brave by nature and therefore they represent courage, determination, love and friendship.

FEEDBACK
Adobe illustrator is a new thing for me and it would be part of my design journey forever. I started to understand how to use many tools from pen to shape builder and everything else, and for the triptych it soo much fun doing it and for the chiaroscuro i started to figure out the shadow and everything else.
