Mermaid Prep Week

A second take on yesterday's Mermaid sketches. This story will feature a trio. So I'm working on three mermaids with different personalities. I like the fat pencil line too (not the shading, they all look a little pasty.)

This is fun, laying out all the prep work before starting into the story. This is the type of thing most illustrator blogs have--concept and prep work. I always enjoy looking at process images. None of the stories on the blog have ever had any thing like this--I usually just dive right in. We'll see if this adds anything to the story

  1. Do they have names yet? Are their names sea-themed?

  3. I love the curly hair--she looks like trouble! Love the personalities!

  4. Yes, curly hair often spells trouble. I like how it almost looks like tentacles or medusa-snakes in the first pic. This looks like fun!

  5. I love the freckles! They all look so good!
