I was chatting with my friend Dresden the other day and she mentioned that most people only depict mermaids with light colored skin. So, I thought it would be neat to try drawing/painting a mermaid with darker skin tones and here is the final result! I probably should have been a wee bit neater with my pencil work and the values could stand to be a bit stronger, but I was working in watercolor and didn't want to run the risk of ruining the picture. Over all, I'm really happy with how it turned out! ^_^ I also included the sketched version, too, so you can see what it was like before I painted it.
onward and upward,
Bethany
