This is the first year I'm doing the annual #MerMay online event where artists submit daily images of mermaids. Here's this week's image, the Octo-Tail Mermaid.

| Rotated the image by 90 degrees, blotted and cross-hatched the background |

| Original pencil sketch |
 |
| Cleaned up the pencil line with digital penciling |
 |
| Laying down the base colors before adding highlights, shading, and details |

The original "final" image of my #MerMay2018 Octo-Tail Mermaid
I wasn't happy about her ink at that bottom - so a change was made as seen above |
