Mermaid

So anyway, when I checked back to view this it just somehow managed to delete itself, and I liked it being there. It prettied p my gallery for a while, so it's back, with a proper description because Adam's gone to eat his American junk.

First of all, this took up so much of my time it's unbelievable. Art causes back ache, it's really not that nice. Then my scanner decided to ruin it and make it grainy, so what you have it the picture when I ran it through Smart Blur on Photoshop. Joy, a use for Photoshop.

I should have caught some of the faults earlier, because now they just make me sad with the amount of time this used up! Anyway, the ear isn't quite in line with the nose, actually, it isn't at all, hm. I normally make sure I do that.

I'm dreadful at drawing hands, it's like a disease that plagues every picture that I draw. If you can't see her right arm then FOLLOW IT, it leads to a hand at the top of her head, a very ugly one indeed. I need a thinner pen, maybe I'll actually attempt to draw in the knuckles properly.

The left arm is blah. The elbow doesn't quite meet the bellybutton, I don't know if that's to do with the elbow placement or the bellybutton itself. Also, I would have lked to draw that arm with her gripping some hair, but I decided to change that into the picture later on, her arm was initially by her side, but that looked iffy. This is what you get.

The gill things below the arms aren't level, especially the one on the right hand side. Another thing, the fin actually looks quite bland.

Other than that I really love this. xD

The hair looks good on paper, but I'll only be he one to ever see that, won't I? Stupid digital world that I live in.

If I have time I'll put myself through the torture of colouring it, and possibly adding depth to the colouring. Who knows. I may feel a bit adventurous on that, or I'd destroy it. That normally happens when I colour something that I like.

I wonder if anyone actually reads these. I wonder how many more favourites I'd get for this by just colouring the hair in red. This is a sad place, y'hear.

SCREW UP YOUR EYES AND IT LOOKS REALLY PRETTY.
