        Ok so here is the value and light. I haven’t added the shadows yet on anything else except the ship behind the seashell chair.
        I might do this with a limited bluish green color palette.

          This is so darn funny. Love the light from the tv! Looks great. And the little sea kitten messing with her yarn.

            @Aleksey this is such a fun picture. It is really coming out great. I did want to say that for me the face (once you added the light) looks more male than female. Not sure why, as I looked at this before and it didn't bother me.

            Just wanted to make you aware. Not sure though, I might just be crazy.

              @theprairiefox I can see how it can look that way, but even if it does I dont think it really matters honestly. The gender of the merperson doesn't take away from the overall appearance and story of the drawing.

                  It looks great, love the light from tv. Maybe I would make the tv back darker, so that there is more contrast. DO You know this picture? https://www.instagram.com/p/Bbst0BUlsIF/ by Tom Booth

                      @Aleksey Wow You met him? What a honor...would love to meet him also. I would also make something with the glasses, I don't wear glasses, but I think you don't see through, if there is so much light, more white? ...

                            Ok so apparently this looks like Eustice from courage the cowardly dog. I’m ok with this.
