You did a great job on the face and blended the colors well. Prisma pencil colors? Did this sell?

Unfortunately no, still living at home with me. And yep, micron pens with Prismacolor pencils.

DraculeaRiccy [2013-03-16 15:13:10 +0000 UTC]

Her face and the waces look great, but her right hand seems a bit too small and I think it would look even better if you made her fin a bit bigger.

thecreativepen In reply to DraculeaRiccy [2013-03-16 15:16:03 +0000 UTC]

Yep, it was haha. Noticed that after I inked! It's a traditional piece though, so unfortunately I can't fix my lines.

I know that too well. Normally I always see something that bothers me when I finished a piece

Haha, glad I'm not the only one! That's one of the downsides of working traditionally. Always so difficult to fix a mistake! Can't just erase it off a layer in Photoshop

Oh thanks! I'm glad because I have prismacolor premiers and verithins, but I haven't used them much yet.
Thanks again!

xtinyheartx [2013-03-10 05:37:08 +0000 UTC]

This is really pretty! Something like a oriental tattoo design. I think I get that impression from the waves and her fair skin&face. Her hair is very nice as well...long beachy waves! I think it would be even nicer to look at it if the canvas was slightly bigger and I could see the frame that the waves makes around her. Cutting off some parts of the image can have it's benefit to create interest and mystery as to what is off the picture, but in this case I think having the entire subject within the picture would be better. Other than that this is a very beautiful work. ^_^

I've always liked the idea of mermaids and all - especially if they're drawn in a super creepy and horrific way.
Anyways, I like this, though. It's calm and cute and pleasing to the eye. This is truly very artful and all. Her hair looks beautifully detailed and along with her eyes. Her face is so subtle - I like how her nose isn't drawn completely, I don't like it when people draw out noses so much, so the nose you drew her was perfect.
