Description This is basically a do-over of the first thing I ever added to my gallery here on dA, back in 2004: [link]

I was just learning to paint digitally back then, without much knowledge of anything...

I think I can safely say I've improved... but I'm still not exactly happy with it, so.. any tips are greatly appreciated. Be evil with your critique, I won't mind

Pose referenced to myself (somewhat.. seeing as I'm not a mermaid... despite the fact some people enjoy calling my Mermaida )

pues.. un poco estresante! XD partí el colegio ayer, IV medio y yo, que andaba evitando pensar en todo lo que tuviera que ver con los pendientes para este año, tanto sea PSU como miles de otras cosas, terminé nerviosísima. fue un primer día bien especial... jeje
pero ya se me pasó, y pude volver a la tranquilidad habitual XP un solo día ya me hizo asumir lo que no había querido, y cuando me encargué de algunas cosas, quedé en calma.

Y qué tal va tu vida?

El año del sufrimiento... todo lo que dicen los profesores todo el año se remonta a "si no pescan, les va a ir mal en la PSU" Al final, si, lo mejor es no estresarse, e ignorar los comentarios desagradables

Mi vida va bastante relajada hasta ahora, siendo que, aunque entre a clases el Miecoles tecnicamente, no tuve clases ese dia, y el Jueves tuve solo una clase, sin taller. Eso significa que el Lunes empieza la tortura real (Investigacion aplicada al diseño e introduccion a la economia... no es un lindo dia).
Asi que ahora me queda disfrutar de mis ultimos dias de libertad hasta mitad de año

Nicely done. Interesting interpretation of the bubbles. Good underwater effect too.

Very pretty. I've always been a sucker for mermaid art. I love how the light hits the bubbles; you did a really good job with the lighting. The seaweed is also very good; you have a soft, painterly style and I like that, but I feel where the mermaid's waist meets her tail, the scales appear just a bit rushed in comparison to the others. I love her face and hair though, very nicely painted.

Thank you
You caught me on that one, I didn't give that part much attention at all, but I think I'll give it a touch-up

so pretty! I love the colors and the pose I'm actually in the process of manipulating a mermaid and this helps motivate me to finish it Very beautifully done!

This is beautiful, you have definatly improved.
The only thing I can say could be better would be the tail. I don't know..the shape seems a little off. It's really thick, and then gets thin fast.

thank you
I guess you're right about the tail, I was trying to make it look "perspectivy" but... it didn't work out as well as I'd hoped

By looking at your gallerie, I can tell you'd be able to make it look a lot better if you ever feel like re-doing it.
