Description
watercolor pencil, 2008.2This was what I was working on
while I have'nt post anything on deviantart.
it's the cover for Children's book, "the little mermaid"
by Hans Christian Andersen.
and this is one of my senior thesis illustrations.
I had a very difficult time to do the senior thesis
since I was in huge slump I've ever experienced
and I hated all of my pieces for the thesis.
It was terrible, but now I reliefed and feel better about
these pieces.
(I still don't like them much tho.)
here is lest of them

I feel like this is two different paintings in a series. I LOVE the left side, and the right is very interesting too. But that left side just blows my mind!

I adore the sunrise, & the mermaid at the top right especially! the essence of this painting really makes the story come alive.
