Subtract


For this project I looked up the definition of subtract: Latin subtractus, past participle of subtrahere to draw from beneath. This made me think of drawing strength from within and the japanese culture view of the koy fish, the lore that it has great strength and perseverance from within. With this I tried to recreate the feeling of  japanese woodcut paintings.

This is really cute! The image is simple, yet interesting- it has a nice flow.

...The background seems a bit too stark, though I'm not really sure what you might do to fix that without ruining your look... hm.
