          Hm. This is a good learning piece for me, I can see a lot of problems to work through. My perspective is super-duper wonky, so I'll be more attentive in my sketching stage (not to mention studying up!). I've gotta kill the habit of outlining with watercolors, it flattens things in a not good way (or be intentional about it). I need to be more decisive in lighting, and study real life for accuracy. Those are some things I'm going to focus on next.

                              It's my first post here. And it is a #mermay .
                              Her name is Iara, a mermaid from Brasil culture. I tried a new story for her.

                                          So much fun looking at all the entries! I did not find out about #mermay until your newsletter so too late to join it but wanted to participate in this. She is for another project, isn't painted yet but I am afraid if I wait too long will be too late so adding her now in her rough sketch pre render stage. Hope you guys do more of these.
