For the month of January at Outlawz we've picked our favourite sketches from last year to be used as our sketches for this month. This one was picked by Pat.
So I then had to decide what image to use with it. As I've just got into digital sketching I decided to see if I could draw something. This is what I came up with - she's called Selene (after the Greek Goddess of the Moon). The hardest part was trying to make the tail look like it was connected to the body underwater - still not sure if I've achieved it 100% - LOL!!
I've coloured Selene with ProMarkers and Copics, added a little black polychromos pencil and biro to her hair and some DecoArt glitter (which I've had forever) to her tail so make it look like she's got shiny scales.
Hopefully I've got enough shading in there to give the water some depth as though part of her tail is under water.
The image and design paper (from Lili of the Valley) have been distressed .
I've added in some sections of pearlised beading to follow the sketch and some flower sprays.
We'd love to see you over at the challenge. Everyone who enters will be included in an extra random draw to win my Fuzzy Bear image :D
