This is one of the first pictures where I used colored pencils. A bit rough, so I fixed it up a bit using Photoshop. If I seem to be obsessed with mermaids, don't be surprised. I was watching 'Little Mermaid' when I did this series of mermaids.

I, for one, hope your mermaid obsession doesn't go away! Your series is beautiful! This one is quite unique with the translucent fins and tail fluke. I'm glad you took the initiative to add more aquatic features than Disney did to Ariel.

Cristina - Of all your beautiful mermaids I love this one most! What a great sense of movement I get from this piece, and your colors are perfect. Mermaids are a wonderful obsession, aren't they? Thank you for visiting my mermaid gallery, too.

This reminds me very much of the Hans Christian Anderson movie version, in which, the little mermaid is not a red head disney cuteness thing, and the ending isn't so happy...but I love this, there is something enchanting about the way you combine all the colors to flow so well, and unlike most of the mermaids I see [including mine] you've made the hair fit so perfectly, flowing, lifted by the water...this is beautiful.
