Another try. I think the head is more proportionate but I don't care much for the colors and my blurry cell phone pic...it might be that my eyes are blurry. Not sure

Day 3: Sturgeon

@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....

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.

"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.

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..!!
