A water spirit, relaxing in the ocean's deep waters.
I really love the ocean. This picture started out as a straight-ink drawing, with no pencil sketch, and was then colored rather quickly and messily in Paintshop Pro (I think). I think that the speed of its creation, and the messiness of it, kind of add to the feeling of underwater motion, though ...

Wow... Very nice =) really like the hair, the ears (yeah, neat ears) and well, her... You're really good at doing mermaids, like 'em a lot... =) /mesai

:-) Lauren 'Selie' Liebowitz replies: "Thanks ^_^ for some reason I have a reputation as a mermaid-creature artist now. I guess it's because I do at least one annually, scales and all? Though I must say, I like this undine so much more - no scales! My vision didn't suffer from this one..."

Still me.. how long did it take u?A long time?

:-) Lauren 'Selie' Liebowitz replies: "This picture? All told, probably no more than an hour or two for both lines and colors. Which is really fast for me. This was an experiment and a speed piece. ^_^"

Very beautiful and graceful, (I only miss the hands) But I love her serene expression it's wonderful.

:-) Lauren 'Selie' Liebowitz replies: "I wasn't brave enough to try drawing hands with that kind of pen - I don't think it would have turned out. I had a lot of trouble with hands at the time this picture was drawn. Thank you for the kind words. ^_^"

She's beautiful!

Very nice! I like the colors and the expression!... It is almost like she is sinking into some kelp or soft seagrass... Very gwell done and congrats on doing it in pen first,,, i am always a fraid that i will mess up and use a pencil always first! You did a marvoulous job....Ah and about the comment in french... Maybe she was thanking you for the pleasure you gave her in the viewing....

:-) Lauren 'Selie' Liebowitz replies: "Thank you for the explanation - it makes sense if you look at it that way. I'm afraid to draw in pen first too, but every now and then it's liberating to throw the pencil away and embrace your mistakes. I'll never be one of those people who can draw entire complicated pictures in pen first, but it's good practice to try something from time to time."

I love her hair!!1

:-) Lauren 'Selie' Liebowitz replies: "Thank you! I want to dye my hair that color but it won’t stick!"
