Description Wow, I did a pic of mermaids after years! My latest mermaid was drawn in 2006 or something I guess But I don't know why I stopped drawing them, it is so fun I blame those fairies!!

Anyways, this is my -very late- part of art trade with . Sorry it took me so long

The theme was a couple of mermaids frolicking in the water, and I thought of two mermaid sisters who found a deep sea treasure and having fun with it One of them is a bit obsessed with pearls, and the other is looking for something more deep down the chest It was harder to work with multiple figures, but also fun.

I hope you all like my mermaids-after-a-very-long-time

I really like this. I love the use of colors (blues, greens) and I like how you paid attention to the details in their skin, clothing, faces and the treasure chest. Nice work!

Thank you soo much dear I'm glad you like my mermaids!
The paper is a A4 size watercolor paper, not a big one, I'm very fond of A4 or A5 sizes or sometimes even smaller ones

illusorya In reply to blue-willow [2010-10-12 19:04:55 +0000 UTC]

My pleasure!
That's cool... You put a lot of details!
I working, too, with A4 size (sometimes with A3)... That's a wonderful work...

Why don't you make ACEO? It's a real fight, for the details, but it's fantastic to painting with this smmmmmmaalll size!
I'm really curious to see a your work in Aceo!

Actually, I planned to work with ACEO sizez and even prepared proper sized papers for that purpose but in the end I didn't one yet Though I have some smaller size drawings and sketchbooks, some of the papers I have are half-size of an ACEO card I should really work on them I guess

This is really great. It is such a challenge drawing more than one figure and making them work, but you did a great job! I love the hair of the one who loves pearls! The tails are also super cool.

Thank you very much! I'm glad you like the tails, I didn't want to do classical mermaid tails and a bit experimented on them

Heee, a really nice pic. I love the colors and water that looks like water! Nice to see something so complicated done in traditional media (in my opinion underwater scenes are hard...)
I like the mermaid who's facing down (other one looks a bit too stiff for me liking). They both got quite an interesting tale-endings...
