@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....@misslaurabalmacedaart

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.

Not feeling too well today so I just did a quick one with a pen.

@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 should probably be redoing all these so that I'm doing the extra 80%. They're all pretty rough.

Thought I'd try and do a more careful one so day 5 again. In my journal notebook so the other pag ecomes through but...good practice anyway.

and resource (I think I could have made the pose a little more dynamic and it would look better but, not too bad for me.

I had a crazy weekend at Free Comic Book Day doing sketches and selling comics so I had to do some catch-up today.
Day 4: Hagfish
Day 5: Blobfish
Day 6: Viperfish

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.https://www.facebook.com/misslaurabalmacedaart

"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.

@andersoncarman These are gorgeous!

@Laurasketches You nailed it with that tattoo! I love it! I would love to see that one in full color!

Day 7: Unicorn Fish

"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..!!

@andersoncarman These are great! Very nice gestures with each of them.

Since I intended to use Mermay for figure drawing practice, I have included a robobean (no resource on that one. I was just trying to figure it out on my own. I did do some other ones with resources for that one but, at this moment can't bring them up on here.. Besides looking at my mermaid, feel free to give me some pointers of where I'm going wrong. Thanks!!
Oh, experimenting with unusual colors. besides, my paper is weird and my eraser smears instead of erasing so....that's why the weird water or whatever it is

@Laurasketches Lovely in so many ways!! The concept is fun, the composition is spot on, and your line work is just beautiful!

@Marsha-Kay-Ottum-Owen I see a marked improvement from the previous one. What is robo bean?
