Mermaids


These two little mermaids are inspired by the sea. The top one looks somewhat like Ariel, and the bottom blue one, has wavy hair, such as in the ocean. I wanted them to have a somber expression, because they are sad, and lonely in the ocean, but yet beautiful because they are made from mother nature. I first wanted to go in, with the prismacolor pencils, so I used regular sketching paper, but I wanted to give them more of an "oceany" feel, so I decided to use water colors. The trick to keep the paper from un-wrinkling, was to let the water color dry, under a book. This kept the paper straight enough to use markers, pencils, and so on, after. I think they are pretty cute...do you?
