TWIRLING Mixing the colors of the ocean ... ... Hi, When you think of mermaids, your first thought is of Ariel from Disney's The Little Mermaid. I thought it would be fun to draw a mermaid for an aerial view (aerial...you know, like, Ariel but like...get it? Huh huh? *nudge nudge*) It is the month of May and as with all kinds of seasonal trends, the MerMay challenge is upon us. What is the MerMay Challenge? Well, it's a month-long daily challenge where you draw a mermaid or a merman, a mer-person every day for 31 days. This watercolor illustration is my one and only entry to the MerMay challenge. ... ... Materials I used the Spring set of five colors from Akashiya Sai Watercolor Brush Pens And, I also used the Marvy Uchida Black Brush Pen no. 4600. Does that mean they have 4599 other shades of black before it? *giggle* I used only six colors to make this. The colors I used are: Pink, Madder, Yellow Ochre, Pale Orange, Green Blue, and Black.

Take a hike! ... ... Salut, mes amis! This is a quick cute illustration that started while I was doing an object study session and drew a hiking boot, which led to me draw a kitten too (because, why not). Drawing the boot at the back took longer than I thought but I'm quite happy with my color selection as well the shadows and lights I got to choose. My only critique would be that I need to get better at drawing animals and practice drawing quicker digitally. Oh, and I used the program 'Krita' to draw this. Though there are some minor issues with this free painting program but I've found that it's far ahead of Photoshop as a paint program (yeah, I know). Maybe I'll tell you why some other time. Let me know what you thought of this in the comments below. :) I hope you like it. Thanks again for watching! :) xoxo P.S. It went from this: To this, so...high five!
