            Heres the little Illustration I did for MerMay. Its done in Photoshop with some mix of brush textures 🙂
            I wanted to create a Merboy with his Octopus friend. They are swimming around one day and found a buried treasure in the sand full of toys!

            Happy MerMay everyone ❤

              This is fun! Here is a quick illustration I made for Mer-May: " The Mermaid Who Fell In Love with a Sailor". She was inspired by a renaissance woman painting. Happy weekend everyone

                Here is the sketch and final rendering for the first mermaid I created for Mermay. This is mostly an exercise for me to get used to using a wacom tablet. Second mermaid piece should be finished soon. 🙂

                      The process tutorial is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LiQXfhHIv2w
                      You can download the background texture here it's at the bottom of the page: http://grutbrushes.com/photoshop-freebies/
                      You can download the brush I used here: https://gumroad.com/l/iULHC

                      I turned the water color background into a seamless texture and followed the process in the video using it as the texture for the group file. Then I put a copy of the texture on the bottom layer for a background.

                                          @lilyhosegood I love how soft your piece came out. The subtle glow is nice too. Very beautiful.
