Description Now how could I go to Disneyland and not draw a Disney character, huh?

So this is how I passed a lot of time on the flight back and was my first real attempt to draw a Disney character since way back when I "drew" (ie: traced) Ariel a lot. And since this movie had me drawing nothing but mermaids (always from the back!) for two years, it seemed appropriate. Though, just for the record, Beauty and the Beast is my favorite.

Anyway, this was a LOT of fun, and I know it could be better, but I move on pretty quickly. And I'm happy with it anyway. And yes, I do tend to just make up the lighting and a lot of times I put light and shadow in places just because I like how it looks, even when it's totally wrong. It's a deep, deep flaw, I know this.

Ariel is shared by Disney and Hans Christian Andersen.

The lighting is such a great effect, with the beams and the shadows and what have you. It gives the whole thing such a nice calming tone. I also really like her left hand.

She looks good. And I like the random light here, too. It's interesting because the darker tones are a big change from the peppy original.

Thanks! I don't know that the darker colors were a deliberate choice or just a natural result of trying to make it look underwater...but either way, I'll take credit for it.

I highly recommend Disneyland, if you can go! It took me a long time to get there, but it was well worth it.

And thanks
