Description
This is my third digital painting ever, and this is the first time that I'm not using the Dodge/Burn/Smudge tools, but the brush tool exclusively. So if you have any suggestions whatsoever, please let me know. And don't worry! I will fix the eyes (now fixed) and the boobies!!

This is a WIP of the Little Mermaid drawing that I am currently making. I created the outline and the basic fill two-three days ago, but I had a lot of work to do ... plus this was a new technique for me, so I could not resume the actual painting till a few hours back. Anyway, only the skin on the face has been done now. Even that's not complete. After completing the face, I found that it actually looked pretty neat without the outline. Hence the face is borderless.

Once again, I would really love some constructive critique.

EDIT 1: I finished the eyes and lips today. Though Ariel has dark red lips in the movie, I didn't think it would be realistic in a painting. Thus, I gave her pink - but unnaturally glossy lips. Her eyes are green like her tail.
