Inktober 2020 #27 – Music

Siren song counts as music, right? I hope so, but really… I just felt like drawing a mermaid. 🙂

It seems like every time I draw water, I do it differently. This style seems pretty good for mid-ocean swells.

A mermaid floats in the ocean in the foreground.  Under the water, you can see her fishtail.  She is singing.  In the distance is a sailing ship.  It's nighttime and a full moon is in the sky.  The image is a black and white ink drawing.

This was a tremendously fun project to do.  The theme, Explore the Unknown, was meant to refer to all sorts of fun cryptozoological, mythical, and sci-fi subjects.  Included in this piece is a UFO with Roswell-style aliens, a unicorn, a big foot, the Loch Ness Monster, a kraken, and a mermaid.  The font is Black Pearl by JoannaVu.

Mermaid – Corrected

Okay, those waves were really bugging me.  So I tried again.  Much better now, I think.  🙂
