Description A lovely mermaid underwater,
actually this is a very good DA friend Nina Larsen
who wanted me to draw her as a mermaid-
please visit Nina's beautiful photo gallery she is a very
talented photographer

[link]


Art wise this was a very challenging pose for me to draw
and the hair
took me forever to finish.
At first I tried painting this in color
and i messed up big time so i decided to
do it over with
my graphite pencils
I'm my worst critic at times and wish i could
have done better but lately
i have been
challenging my art with more
difficult poses/drawings and
at least I'm happy about that

Worked on 9x12 bristol board

Katerina-Art In reply to Lrbcn [2007-02-12 02:31:14 +0000 UTC]

thank you laura so much!! just visited your site and saw of your sketches they are really good!!! my favorite drawing tips are starting off with a good sketch which you already have,using good materials like good paper like bristol board or vellum ,start shading light and build up layers slowly,use a kneaded eraser for highlights and tissue paper for blending these are all i can think on top of my head at the moment

hehe You are very welcome. You can call me Zachary if you wish. "Antennae guardian" is sort of a joke with another deviant on here.

Its a pleasure to have met you Katerina. (love your name!)
