Mermaids in Alcohol Markers

 

These cute "Mermaids," are from a tutorial by Karen Campbell and Lucy Brydon of Awesome Art School.

I followed Karen's drawing steps using my Graphgear 1000  Pentel Pencil, on a page in my Ohuhu Marker Pad.

I used both of my new sets of Ohuhu Markers to color these cuties:  the 36 skin tone color set and the 48 color set. I really enjoyed using these makers in this book. I love flipping through my work!

For the outlines I used a Micron Pen and the highlights were done with a white Gelly roll Pen.

I totally enjoyed working on these two characters and just can't wait to do another!

These mermaids are gorgeous. You're playing very well with the expressions of the faces to show their feelings. Thanks for joining us at A Place To Start. Hugs, María.
