So, I made this last night after flipping through an old sketchbook of mine. I seen a mermaid I had drawn two years ago, and I wondered how much I've improved since then. IMG_20170809_121151.jpg
Old mermaid drawing
Do you think I've improved? I think I am better at drawing anatomy correctly, my arms look much less awkward now. I don't believe you can improve as an artist without constructive criticism. Here's the process of making my new mermaid drawing. IMG_20170809_182253.jpgIMG_20170809_182238.jpgIMG_20170809_182219.jpgIMG_20170809_182205.jpg
First I draw most everything in pencil. Then I trace over with pen and erase the pencil.IMG_20170809_182340.jpg
After I have all the line work I add detail, color, and shade.

My two favorite fish in the picture are the parrot and loin fish.IMG_20170810_124949.jpgIMG_20170810_125057.jpg

Do you think I've improved ?
And do you have any constructive criticism? I'd love to hear your thoughts down below.
