Here is my second Mermay. Based on Aquamarines with the extra prompts of feathers, stars, choc chip cookies and cake.
With these I'm experimenting with a brush pen but I feel it's feathering slightly on the watercolour paper which my normal mircon fineliners don't do as much. I'm also experimenting with using watercolour pencils for the colours but so far I'm not sure if I'm happy with the results. -

@andersoncarman You picked some tricky fish!!! I was stumped with a solution for the combo of "rockabilly" from Tom Bancroft's official mermay list, and your fishy prompts....especially because a sturgeon looks so mean (great solution from you with your warrior merman!) - I considered sturgeon merman gangs (think west side story) for a minute then gave my rockabilly mer-chic a tatt. I seriously need some free time to paint all my sketches....

So, here's another attempt at using this challenge to practice my robo bean and figure drawing. I have a long way to go and would REALLY appreciate draw overs and tips to help me along. Hoping to improve by June
I twisted the merman top half a bit so I could keep the arms on the page for the most part.

@Marsha-Kay-Ottum-Owen I hope your feeling better today. I like your sketch -means even more that you drew it in spite of how you were feeling. Your mermaid empathises with you and I empathise with her -been a tough week.

I'm behind on my MerMay drawings.....ARGH! I had other commitments that pulled my attention... But, here is my May the Fourth (Star Wars Day) sketch. I did it in ink, then added value in photoshop. Prompts: "Star Wars" and "Hagfish"(which might be the scariest animal I've ever seen...Yikes!) I imagined the Falcon crash landed on an ocean-planet where the cockpit provides a refuge for a hunted mer-person.

"Cinco de Mayo" and "blobfish" as prompts for day five (almost caught up!) Blobfish has the distinction of being voted among the ugliest animals on the planet, but, I think they are pretty cute as members of a mariachi band.

"Taco Tuesday" and "Viperfish" Don't steal a mermaid's tacos...even if you are super scary and have enormous teeth (I was really glad to learn that these fish are small-cause. yeah. they would be scary to meet in the ocean.) I know I'm only making sketches....someone tell me which one I should finish..!!
