I started out with a little something because I didn't have an exact idea of how I wanted my mermaid to become. I had some thoughts on making her hair float on the water and her body would be under water.
As I am drawing along, my mermaid begins to form in the way I like it.
This was done with my professional Kasmir sketching pencils
For the coloring I used KOH-I-NOOR Mondeluz 24 aquarelle coloured pencils, what gives an absolutely super intensive coloring effect.
As you can see I changed her eyes a few times, I wanted her to have a open look with some sparkle and used my good old white acrylic paint and a special dotted brush to make " life in the eyes" .
Her lips are made shiney as well for a finished look.
Here I also made the water so my first vision idea from a mermaid with her body under water came to life.
I wanted to give her some extra flair with bling and got my glitter diamonds ready again, love doing that. 😇
Thank you for taking you in my creative moment, I hope you enjoyed it. Thank you @hadley4 for this contest and may your contest grow even more for all art support on Steemit!
