        Beautiful work! I really love 3 and 4 that golden orange and purples are enchanting!

          @audrey-dowling Very nice drawing! - i love mermaids - the top left works best for me - it is difficult to say really because the highlight on the mermaids "leg" is very hot in the two green legged ones - also in the bottom left the leg area is the most saturated so it becomes the focal point - so i think the top left has the best balance - but i am not really giving a very good opinion on the color scheme am i ..... i think i would still choose top left if the highlights were softened and saturation lowered in the others - they are all very nice though!

            @Kevin-Longueil since I posted I had the same thought as you and tried something softer. it's very roughly done, but I think I like the atmosphere better on this one

              Really pretty! I'm still partial to the golden-orange tail though. 🙂

                I am liking the top left with the purple tail and red hair.

                  Love them all!!! I think it is really a matter of personal preference at this point, they all look gorgeous! Great drawing by the way! 🙂
