Even more fish...

I know, I thought there were no more species of fish left for me to draw but I found some!

And I painted my sleeping mermaid...

Well, from today there will be no more drawing, we're moving onto new print techniques and screen development so possibly say goodbye to mermaids cos I think I'm sticking to the fabric fish...
Sad times for mermaids :(

3D fish

It's not Mumford (sadly, how cool would that song be?!) but it is what I've been doing today...

That and a few mermaids again (the painted mermaid does look better now I've done the sea darker)

 I wonder what other joys I can come up with over the weekend for you... :)

Give me hope in the darkness that I will see the light...

Have not stopped listening to Mumford and Sons for the last few weeks and it's becoming my little theme tune to my under the sea stuff. (Title is taken from their song 'Ghosts That We Knew')
It's helped me with these last few pages...

(I dont like this mermaid as much as the other one... I think it's cos the colour of the sea is nicer on the one I did before and because she's a bit funny looking in the picture. She looks better in real life, honest :) )

Mermaids and Dragons

(Not real dragons obviously, that'd be silly. Mermaids, of course, are real)

Well, thats what I've been drawing the last few days - Leafy and Weedy Sea Dragons, mermaids and Blind Cave fish (they are actually blind, they have no eyes cos it's so dark in the caves they live in they dont need them. They have nice sparkley scales instead though)
I've somehow got superpowers and have become quite good at drawing, I think it's down to the new Mumford and Sons CD, it's fab :)

Here's my Weedy Sea Dragon, I forgot to upload the Leafy one but it's like the Weedy one just with more leafy bits.

...And the mermaid and her fishy friends

I'm not too keen on the fish, they just dont look finished but I'm soooo tired I wont be able to do anything to them without ruining it.

I like the mermaid though :) It's a lot better in real life, kinda loses something in the photo.

Drawing again!

I dont actually mind this time, who knew mood boards could be that hard?!

Anyway, we're back under the sea with Ariel, Flounder and Sebastian and some of their friends...

(These might be a bit hard to see cos they're only in pencil.)

 Ta Daa :) Will have lots more soon so you can pretend to be a mermaid too (although I actually am one, my legs fall off if I stay in the sea too long)

Under the Sea

We really will be living under the sea if it keeps on raining like this!

Well, had my first few days back at College and who'd have thought doing mood boards could be this hard?! Been doing them for hours and they still aren't right but I'll show you my fave attempts anyway...

At least I have a nice work bay to stick up pictures of fish that I can sit next to and pretend I'm Ariel the Little Mermaid :)
