                MerMay goby.jpg Hey there, SVS team, here is my first Mermay sketch/WIP. I had the thought to combine the official prompt list with the fish list @andersoncarman provided... So, here is my socialite mermaid, living the extravagant life with her toy pet goby. Please critique before I send her to paint...

                          It's really cool seeing everyone's different takes.

                          I often use a primary prompt list and then use some extras because I find it adds interest to my creations for these contests.
                          This time my primary prompt list was based on gemstones and secondary ones were based on foods, drinks and random paraphernalia. I also decided to put them all in bottles to add a cohesiveness.

                          First one was: Amethyst, cupcake, ice cream and floral.

                            @Dima-Eichhorn I really like how you are presenting these, it really adds a nice visual touch. I'm also looking forward to seeing where the story goes.

                                @Laurasketches I love it! Especially the detail of the "leash" on her Goby, I cant wait to see it in color.

                                        MerMay day two: "rascal" and the very weird "sunfish" Is it a rascal move to sunbathe on a living creature while planning your next adventure? Please give critiques... planning to watercolor paint when I have a bit more time.

                                          I've decided to use this challenge to practice my figure drawing skills. I'm taking the proko class and still having trouble with the robo bean so thought I'd try and find some resources and robo-bean it and then try to build around it. I know these won't be great (I'm a little embarrassed by them) but I would LOVE some draw overs and tips to improve as I go. I won't post yesterdays. Just starting with day 2 🙂 I see problems but I would love feedback, PLEASE! (I'm including the resource I used) If anyone is a pro robo bean drawer I'd love to see how you would do the top half, especially. Thanks again!

                                          Here's another try. More proportionate, I think. Especially the head. I'll try a different pose tomorrow.
