I'm much more fascinated by your Mermaids, considering I'm in love with the ocean. The whale has a nice balance of stylization and realism, while details like the bubbles, direction of the paint to create rays of light and the weightlessness in the hair of the mermaids makes this piece very strong. A suggestion would be to see how you do without any line whatsoever and see how the results vary.

Thanks you so much for the feedback.Β Yeah I have tried both ways with line both digitally and with watercolor.Β I have a few other piecesΒ that I did not pen in the characters but since a lot of my backgrounds are detailed, they kind of got lost in them.Β However, I am still learning so I definately will be experimenting!Β Thanks again!

A little dark, but I love the anatomical details of all three figures and the gentle joyousness of this composition. You did a very nice job on all three figures, enough for me to fave it.
