Do you know to make the skin tone you made in picture with colored pencils? If you know how can you please tell me? I am having so much trouble.

The easiest way would probably to be get the colored pencil that matches the skin tone D:, but if you only have a very smallset of 12 you'll have to mix colors. I'm not sure what colors you own so i'm not sure how to help but don't be afraid to experiment with darker colors like blue and purple added with colors like yellow and orange to darken a tone. grab a sheet of paper and try it out in patches. it also helps to color very lightly and slow build it up over time if your pencils are not that good quality, pressing hard puts too much wax on the paper and you won't be able to get enough pigment on the page to get the tone dark enough

I really really love this color scheme, ok? And I love mermaids and merfolk of all types too, but the pink and orange-y gold and chocolate color scheme makes this really awesome.

i'm glad you like it eep. People really miss out on a lot of great color schemes when they don't try different skin tones!

There are not enough dark-skinned mermaids in the world, but thank you for adding this one! All of her details are really wonderful, I especially love how you layered her scales!

Im really in love with the colors you choose for this its just divine *o*
The scales and fishtail came out nicely, I have to say my favorite part is the flow to the hair <3
One thing is, I get the idea that the pink splotches on the horns are reflections from her hair but the horns them selfs don't look very reflective to me, thats is the only off detail I see other than that this is amazing <3 Im still not sure if the little Capricorns are cute or creepy lol

Sooooo sad I missed your stream ; 3; I had to take my car to the shop that day and did not get home till late

Shattered-Earth In reply to Riicreations [2012-09-24 13:29:37 +0000 UTC]

Hm hm hm i got comments saying they like the horns and not, lol. I didn't want to make them super smooth like polished gold, more rustic and scuffed up metal? Maybe i should have still sharpened them~

Thanks so much for liking the hair and colors, it was touch to decide what colors (blue and greens or go out there XD

Riicreations In reply to Shattered-Earth [2012-09-25 01:16:13 +0000 UTC]

Lol I just might be the odd one out XD I don't really know what I can suggest to help the horns but maybe just adding a some white with the pink? or maybe just ummm I like the right middle section of the left horn? Thats the part that translates rustic the best to me o~o; Im sorry i'm a terrible person >.<
