I like the choice of colors for this picture, the blue and green shades really do create that feel of a an ocean/sea-ish theme. The shade and lighting are also placed well; I like where you placed those shines on her tail and her.
Good work.

Well I did a lot of experimenting in Photoshop on this one, so what I did may not be the most practical way.
But anyway, the first thing I did was clean up the lines kinda like in this tutorial: [link] . Then I created a layer above the line layer and then used Clipping Mask (in the Layer drop down menu). That way whenever I drew on that layer it only showed up on the lines. I had a few layers using Clipping Mask for the different colors, just because it made it a bit easier for me.
