This took a long time.

I found this: [link] om dA a few days ago, and I just loved her hands and the pose. So, I started drawing.

And drawing.

And drawing.

I think I've spent about 15 hours on this... which is without a doubt the longest I've ever spent on a Photoshop drawing. The whole thing is drawn in Photoshop from scratch, with the stock as reference (except on the hands, where I had the photo and drew on top of it to get the positioning right - hands are not my strong suit).

78 layers later, this is the result. I've tried two other backgrounds (one of which is visible in one of the process pictures below), but I finally found one I really like I wanted a bit of a magical feeling to it, and I really like how the colors work together.

The only brushes I've used are those below, which are textured brushes that worked really nicely on her tail, the water and the foam.

My two favorite parts of this picture are the hands and the hair. The hair took three tries to get it right, but it finally got just as I wanted it to be

The process in six pictures: [link]

Well, I hope for comments, because this is the best Photoshop drawing I've ever created, and I hope you like it too.
