EARLY ACCESS // mermaid sketches
Added 2022-05-17 09:37:03 +0000 UTCGeting sick of mermaids yet? π Sat down to do a mermaid sketch session for MerMay. I was surprised to discover that my old sketchbook is now completely full, so I had to break in a new one for these! Guess that means itβs time for a new sketchbook tour soon. For now, I hope you like these ~

2022-05-18 07:32:51 +0000 UTCyes! absolutely. I'll be filming my sketching tutorial this week so hopefully that will help!

2022-05-18 07:24:03 +0000 UTCI definitely do a lot of post-processing on them! I took these photos with an iphone 11pro and then modified the levels/colors/etc in photoshop.

2022-05-18 07:23:39 +0000 UTCthanks so much! this is something I noticed too, I really enjoy drawing in a more 'chunky' style with more attention to the 3D shapes. my work used to be way more flat by comparison.

2022-05-18 07:23:09 +0000 UTCthanks riley! and I agree, she looks like a lovely ariel and I can't believe there are people who would give someone hate just for being cast in a movie. I can't wait to see this version of the little mermaid when it comes out, and thank you for the suggestion!

Loish
2022-05-18 07:17:22 +0000 UTCthank you! I do have to give some pose credit to adorkastock, she has a good mermaid pack on her patreon page that I loosely based the poses on.

2022-05-18 06:21:38 +0000 UTCThis is so good I thought it was digital at first. Had to double check lol. Amazing π§π»ββοΈπ great lines!

2022-05-18 01:22:09 +0000 UTCIt's a fantasy and they are not real. Come to think of it when was the mermaid invented? Great penmanship, great poses and sketching. I remembered you said exaggerating movements gives art motion.

2022-05-17 23:05:31 +0000 UTCThe shading!! The dynamic poses! The HAIR! Honestly, the way you've drawn them I can FEEL their weightlessness. It's absolutely amazing. Yay thank you for sharing!

2022-05-17 22:38:52 +0000 UTCLove what the blending stump gives to the sketches, and the selective inking. Beautiful!

2022-05-17 19:30:25 +0000 UTCNever sick of mermaids. You portray them so well. How do you come up with your mermaid designs and poses. I was thinking about it yesterday but I dont know if you know Loish. But theres a live action little mermaid and Halle bailey is cast as ariel. I actually feel so bad for her though because of the amount of hate she gets because Ariel is originally white and she is black. But I am all here for it. I would like to see a black Ariel I would love to see a dark skin version of Ariel from you. But thank you so much for sharing this with us

2022-05-17 17:37:10 +0000 UTCNever sick of mermaids! These are beautiful! Also, I love how your style has evolved so much over the past few years. The way you draw characters is so much chunkier and textured. I love it!

2022-05-17 14:19:23 +0000 UTCSorry if this has been asked before - how do you take such good photos of your sketchbooks? Do you do any post-processing on them?

2022-05-17 14:15:06 +0000 UTCWow!! So gorgeous and flowy!!! (if thatβs a word π) Can we get more sketch videos? Iβll love to see your process in sketching traditionally. Itβs something I want to get better at and your sketches are goals!
