This started out as a birthday card, took too long, and due to events became a sympathy/thinking-of-you card.

Scanner still hates my colours but I am a little bit proud of this one.

My late Christmas card. I would’ve liked to make the frost on the window clearer and the sky outside darker, but I’m happy.

I have outdone myself. A friend’s birthday request was “draw me something”. Gift cards are easier!

Not posted: the stack of paper comprising rejects, failures, and frustration.

Still. Two smallish posters of stylized mermaids. I’m happy, the friend is happy, everyone is happy.

Pros: the design, the composition, the seaweed/kelp/water salad things that turned out nicer than I’d hoped, and the seashells. Also, I like my little turtle in the bottom there. Even the actually last minute addition of coral and rocks in the corner was a good idea that turned out very nice.

Cons: I cannot yet draw hands or the proportions of arms. Oddly, the proportions of faces are odd too; how far apart are the lips from the nose, anyway?

What do mermaids wear, anyway, besides ocean detriment?

Okay, with that cast you sold me a ticket.
