Last year around this time I started a large mermaid drawing, using a Danish friend of mine who were kind enough to do a shoot for me. Unfortunately I ripped the paper and never got to finish the drawing. I decided to start over with a different model and pose, hopefully it can inspire me to start my original mermaid drawing during the summer. You never know :)

I'm modeling my mermaid after Lena, whom I have used several time, for my fairies especially.
You can see the reference here: link

This is the drawing so far. About 3-4 hours into the piece by now.
Still debating whether she should have dark brown of fierce red hair. Any suggestions?


I think this is going to be another challenge with her tail and the undersea scape. Hopefully one I will manage. I'm very motivated at this point.
