      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.

                                          It's so fun seeing everyone's and how different they all are.

                                          Here's my entry! She's a merMAID... with her algae-eating fish "vacuum" and jellyfish "duster".
                                          Thanks SVS for hosting this contest! Not only did I have a lot of fun illustrating it, but it gave me inspiration for a writing prompt too! 🙂
