Our waters are full of exciting creatures, however the global fish populations are rapidly being depleted due to loss of habitat, increasing demand and unsustainable fishing practices. This design is to remind us to consider that although we don't see it everyday there is life below the surface!
I chose the more commonly known goldfish along with some more exotic creatures of varying scales from the tiny x-ray tetra and colourful jelly fish to the majestic whale shark and out-of-this world narwhal!
These animals can relate to any culture or region, even landlocked countries that consume fish and carry out practices that affect the oceans and seas.
If we all made sustainable choices we can help protect our underwater friends. It's also a reminder of the creatures we don't get to see everyday....wouldn't it be nice to keep them in your pocket!?
I chose to hand draw the animals and colour them digitally, so that I could achieve the detail necessary to depict the aquatic textures and tiny fish scales!
