It is currently taking me a little longer to do digital drawings of the rest of my Mermay art, than I anticipated. Instead of leaving you to wait or rushing what I was creating, I wanted to show the process that my art goes through to become digitized and introduce you to a character with one piece of art in particular...
I drew this mermaid and decided that I wanted to explore a character who found random objects at sea to use and wear. (In the picture above she is wearing a sewing needle in her hair like it is hair pin with the thread still attached.) This mermaid does not have a name yet, but I can see her as a character in a future short story. I do not know if she is interested in the human world in the way the Little Mermaid is, but my character certainly has enough of an interest to start a collection: books, broken dolls, and sewing materials, etc.....
Here is the video showing my process:

I wish I had digital art skills! So cool!
ReplyDeleteThat's amazing :-D
ReplyDeleteThis is cute! I love the detail of the sewing needle with fabric still attached.
ReplyDeleteDoing it digital does take longer because every bit is like a process and takes time to get it the way you wanted. I think what makes it easier is to have a draft/sketch to start. I noticed you use small numbers of layers, for me, I would have like about 20 or more layers by the time I finish because I never could decide on colors.
ReplyDeleteThis mermaid, I imagine, would have a creative name. But she finding old things and using them does remind me of Disney's Ariel. Somehow she looked more like a greek goddess so maybe she's a greek goddess cursed to be a mermaid or something. Lovely drawing.
Have a lovely day.
I loved seeing your process take place! It is so interesting. You are very talented <3
