Sooo I tweaked this oldie while thinking I should resume working on my Anne of Green Gables project… and voilà! How about a mermaid Anne?

Happy Mermie Monday!

Day 17 of #mermay is dancing! I’ve had a lovely day, full of good news, and I wanted today’s mermaid to reflect my happy state!

Mermay dump! I missed individual posts for the last week or so on here (for individual comments, go find me as snowwhitekt on Instagram!), so here’s the last 5!

Follow for more soft tummy rolls, I guess?

Day 11 of #mermay is nervous about being a day late, sorry! I finished this one pretty late, and went to bed without posting it (oops). One of my friends suggested that I do a bunch of different merms with different emotions, so this is one for @lexbex05. : ) Hopefully I’ll get today’s up in a little bit (but it may be tomorrow, let’s be real).

Day 10 of #mermay is a jellyfish! I’ve done one jellyfish mermaid each year I’ve done this challenge, I had to do one this year too! Why are jellyfish so fun to draw?

Day 8 of #mermay has a flower in her hair! Again, a quick sketch tonight, cause I got pretty busy. I’ll put more thought into tomorrow’s, I promise!

Day 7 of #mermay has a flashy fin! A sort of simpler drawing today, just played around with the tail pattern. I’m very pleased with her hands, though- I feel like I’m getting better at hands!

Day 6 of #mermay is a whale mermaid! (And, you know, two onlooking mermaids for scale.) She’s Native Alaskan, because of how much whales appear in the artwork and stories of so many of the native tribes of that region. I’m really pleased with how she came out!

Day 5 of #mermay sees her reflection! I haven’t drawn too many characters from this angle before, so this was sort of an experiment, but I’m happy with how it came out! Also, credit where credit is due: the bubble and reflection were my husband’s ideas. : )

Day 4 of #mermay is a day late, sorry! Had a lot to do yesterday, but I made up for it with a lot of drawing this evening! I’ve got this bored young lady for you now, and I’ll have today’s up in just a little bit!

Day 3 of #mermay has a super long tail! I’ve seen so many with long, curly tails, but they’re almost always super skinny, so I wanted to make a chubby long tailed girl! I think she’s cute. ^_^

Day 2 of #mermay is this scaled beauty! Guys, I’m already so excited about my mermaids this month- I’ve got a bunch of sketches ready, and I’m feeling the creative juices!

I finally finished up the coloring on my jellyfish mermaid! Trying to get back into a mermaid frame of mind- gearing up for #mermay2018! This one was from the first Mermay, a couple years ago- took me long enough to finish her up, but I’m pleased with the colors. What do you guys think? Any other mermaids I should finish up with color?

Just a reminder, I’m snowwhitekt on Instagram, if anyone wants to see all my work! There’s some stuff I post there but not here- thanks for following me in either place, though!
