Artist's Comments

MEDIUM: Prismacolor colored pencils
DATE COMPLETED: 8.19.03
LAST UPDATE: 6.16.09

I was aiming to make a portrait of my idea of a mermaid. I've always pictured mermaids as goddesses of the sea, and I usually envisioned them with beads adorned in curly, lush hair.

Gorgeous :D looks kinda like Nicole Kidman!

I'm not sure if this would be nitpicking, but the lips might look better if it were done with more muted colours. The fiery red look too "hot" for a water goddess. Just my opinion. :)

Another awesome piece in colored pencils.

It looks like a stone engraving...
your expert use of colored pencil makes it pop off of the page..

Comment from the Artist: Nah, that's not nit-picking. I do agree that her lips are a bit bright, but I rather like them like that. :)

This is pretty! I like the lips alot. I dont think I realy like the lines that come off from her nose... The beads in her hair are realy nice

Hmm, this would be awesome, but her face isn't in praportion much. It looks slightly twisted. Everything else in the picture seems great tho, I like the beads in her hair, great job!
