It is May 1 and so time for a new Progressive Challenge at the Outlawz. This month our sponsor is Elena Zinski Art and the digi is Amelia Mermaid. When I saw her, I thought she had the perfect face to be peeking in through the porthole of a ship.
I printed her out onto Canson C’ a Grain Drawing paper. I colored her skin, her hair and her bow with my Prismacolor colored pencils. I used gel pens for her headband and the frames of her glasses. The water was done with watercolor pencils in two shades of blue.
