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.
