Hey Gill Friend

Welcome,

I know it is only February, but I'm starting to dream about summer.   I started going through some of my summer images and this one caught my attention.  I love coloring mermaids because you can break all the rules.  When else can you color blue hair without raising some eyebrows?

This image turned out to be a little more challenging than I originally thought.  I had a hard time getting the shadows to look right on the skin. I'm also a little out of practice on hair.  I tried a couple different things and this is what looked the best.  I almost didn't post this... but then I thought that would be pretty hypocritical.  I always tell my students.. that each image we color teaches us something.   I love the shadows on the rock and her hairpiece.   I hope to revisit this again and keep improving.
