Description: Mermaids, aren't they the most beautiful fictional characters in mythology? Last night during my Livestream, right after completing the Dragon Love drawing, I went all out and sketched a mermaid (at the time, I had no intentions of the female to come out mermaid-like). A lot of folks wanted me to draw something more, so I went ahead and did a pretty little sketch of a mermaid character. Later, I submitted the drawing to Facebook and it got quite a lot of positive feedback. I thank all of you who encouraged me to continue this drawing. As I worked on it, I've acknowledged a new coloring technique which looks great for comic-like characters. I think I'll pertain this new skill to my future drawings with similar female style and body proportions. In the future, laddies, I'll create more fun anime girls with a cute Halloween twist to it! Anyways, onwards with the lesson. Thank you all so much for viewing this tutorial and have fun!
