Sketch and Tips π
Added 2019-04-29 20:58:11 +0000 UTCDo you know the giant whale shark? This huge animal is endangered so it deserves a mermaid inspired by its. I will finish this soon and post it when Mermay starts!
Some tips.
- I usually sketch with an ink pen instead of a pencil. This way I force myself to not use the eraser, which helps us to feel more confident with our work. I encourage you to use pens sometimes :3 also the texture in the paper is so interesting!
- Is complicated to leave our comfort zone, particularly the idea of "skin is pink/orange". Painting fantastic creatures like mermaids can help us to try different colours for the skin. In this case her skin is going to be blue/grey.
Keep going sweeties π and good night! ^^

Aaaaa I'm so happy you like the idea and see that you are going to participate makes me so happy! Your interest really means a lot and I'm excited to see your ideas! And to be honest I haven't thought about it yet! :'( but it's true it's kind of complicated since is actually a bird instead of a fish or something! :((

2019-05-01 20:57:20 +0000 UTCI absolutely love your endangered sea animals list for Mermay! I've never done mermay before, but I can't wait to start! (I super want to see what you did for the albatross! Because that seemed like it might be a more difficult concept. That's the one I'm working on now. :) And sketching in pen does exactly what you say, I love doing it, it's actually easier for me to let stuff flow that way than with pencil.
