My second attempt on digital painting...here I used a different style, I first drawed the marmaid with pencils and a lot of shading, then I scanned the drawing and colored it in Photoshop.

I like how the pose and coloring turned out, but there are some anatomical errors...I should practice that a bit more I guess.

Is she an underwater bellydancer?

Faces... bleh! Human faces are hard to draw those only get better with practice, but your hair and textures are super! Keep drawing!
(me no draw faces good, hehe)

:-) Natascha Saille Cuper replies: "Yes, I find them quite hard. In the sketch the face already bothered me, but I was so eager to try out te digital coloring thing, that I didn't pay a lot of attention to it..."

Never thought about mermaids dancing but why not, eh? Very beautiful piece. I agree with previous commenters. The shading and the lighting is excellent. Well done!

I love it. The only part that bugs me is the right arm. My right not hers. the hair makes it not look attached. But other than that is rocks!
