Little Girl Mermaid, having fun as little girls do. First illustrating using graphics. It was fun, but I'm still partial to my watercolors.

I wanted to create a Merboy with his Octopus friend. They are swimming around one day and found a buried treasure in the sand full of toys!

Happy MerMay everyone

This is fun! Here is a quick illustration I made for Mer-May: " The Mermaid Who Fell In Love with a Sailor". She was inspired by a renaissance woman painting. Happy weekend everyone

[Joslyn Schmitt]

Here is the sketch and final rendering for the first mermaid I created for Mermay. This is mostly an exercise for me to get used to using a wacom tablet. Second mermaid piece should be finished soon.

You can download the background texture here it's at the bottom of the page: http://grutbrushes.com/photoshop-freebies/
You can download the brush I used here: https://gumroad.com/l/iULHC

I turned the water color background into a seamless texture and followed the process in the video using it as the texture for the group file. Then I put a copy of the texture on the bottom layer for a background.
