  • Title: mermaid
  • Artist: shelapse
  • Description: Drawing of a mermaid done in pencil, then painted with watercolours.
    The lines on her torso are gills. I felt that it would be more reasonable for the gills to be closer to internal organs instead of being behind her ears.

  • I like it. The anatomy is spot on especially considering the face that she is underwater and her body is free float. Her hands are loose, her hair line follows along the side of her head as it should and her body is completely relaxed. Very good on all accounts.

  • One last thing, Remember that these arenas are for 13yrs + or so, please don't be surprised if your picture is reported or take down due to explicit material.

  • I really like the picture, and the way you've done the background makes it look like an illustration. I would say that she's a bit stiff, her left arm especially, it looks a bit unnatural, it would more likely bend in towards the body and the hand point away. Also the curve of the back and the shoulders look like they're hunching.
    I know mermaids are fantasy creatures and all, but study the human body a bit more and you'll see where I'm coming from.
