SciFi and Fantasy Art The Little Mermaid by Elizabeth Sherry


	The little mermaid dreams of life above the sea. I'm a real sucker for fairytales, so when I started to doodle the boy's face, the first thing that I thought of was to turn it into a scene from Hans Christian Andersen's 'the Little Mermaid'. It's a shame that this isn't on good paper, but at least I've got a good scan of it. (Pencil, digitally tinted, 2004).

6 May 2005	Theresa	Loading... I've just read the story from H.C.Anderson and was looking in Elfwood for pictures of the little mermaid. And I found your's. I can just say, that this is so perfect. Really! That's exactly how I imagined her. Her face, her beauty, her look and the way she's hugging the boy's statue - it's so realistic. You can really feel how much she is longing for him, for another life and for his love. Oh - and the most wonderful thing in your picture is that she doesn't look like the classic beauties - models with perfect faces, smiles and bodies. She looks like a girl, innocent but beautiful in a way, that's not obviously but can also be seen, somehow. That kind of "inner beauty"... A really great and adorable piece of art! Thank you for this picture, Theresa
23 Jan 2006	November	Loading... I agree with everything Theresa said , and I just want to add that this is my favorite picture in your gallery, simply because the expression on her face....I'm in awe...
18 Feb 2006	Stephanie S. K. Marbach	Loading... Wow, well done on shading!!! I love the sad expression on her face, and i love the curles!!! Nice...!
22 Apr 2006	Natalie Adams	Loading... this is AMAZING! I will admit to a weakness for a good faerytale myself!
23 Aug 2006	Hayley-lou	Loading... Im other words i agree with theresa
23 Aug 2006	Hayley-lou	Loading... it is really strange because when i read Hans Christian Andersen's 'the Little Mermaid'i imagined that she would look just like that! i dont agree with "..." i think that her eyes are perfect and give her a longing, yearning look.
