I drew this after looking at mermaids all day. I like her- she kinda reminds me of me. She also looks like the one in a previous drawing. They are hard to draw- but I really liked how she turned out. Charcoal on acid free, med weight, traditional laid finish paper with computer touch ups (Photo Studio SE 2000)

Simple and so beautiful. I love it. Her fin looks so real, flexible and nimble. I'm sure she is exceptionally fast swimmer. 2

Yay! Greaty job, I likes muchly...er...does regular paper have acid? I could be using all the info I can get...

:-) Ashley Lasnetski replies: "Ha ha- good question... I don't know if regular paper has acid... sounds kinda goofy though- acidic paper (eepp!!!) Thats just what it said on the charcoal scketchbook I bought... maybe "acidic" free paper is what they use for charcoal paper because charcoal is so smudgy. But I don't know- it works good though."
