Mermaid Monday Contest Week 35: My Entry

The week is about to end my friends. Have you joined the mermaidmonday contest yet by @nymia.aryn ? I rushed to finish mine today because I don't want to miss this fun activity. The theme is about kisses and starfish wishes. I was focusing on my style of drawing lately to find my own and I was happy with what I had chosen to represent my style. That would be rough chalk like sketches with a little bit of depth. This style is what I will be using for my mermaid Monday entry. Please check my profile to see more of this style.

This is the entry. A weird looking underwater creature holding a heart shaped box. Kind of reminds me that kissing booth back in the days. Would you kiss her and leave a tip? The star fishes will surely grant your wish 😚

For the steps:

I want some horn like structure on the head. Could be a crown or other head piece. This will balance the tail below.

The horns ended up becoming hair on pig tail I still love it. To give it a touch of my style she has to wear a cloth that looks like hay. I specifically love that texture as evident on the mermaid face.

To finish the drawing I put some starfish around they are waiting in anticipation for someone to kiss the mermaid.

Here is the contest details if you want to join there is still time.

That's the story behind my work hope you like it.
