Here is a picture of a mermaid basking in the sun. Maybe later I will post some of the early pencil work and outtake tests. At one point I thought to do it all in color pencils. Ultimately in the end I went digital to color.
Mermaid, graphite and digital.
A fairly fast drawing of a scared bear. One rough sketch followed by a cleaned up pencil trace. Then scanned and colored in photoshop.
I originally started with very rough sketches on note paper. I was more focused on trying to create a good silhouette at this stage.
However I was so focused on silhouette that I ended up stretching the far hind leg way too long. It reads better as a hind leg, but proportionately it makes for one looooong leg. As I was coloring it in, the defect started to yell out at me. So with some photoshop magic I pushed the leg back in the final version above.
