Sketch for the day....I wanted to draw a girl and thought I'd draw something other than a super heroine. A mermaid came to mind and then two influences- Disney and Chris Sanders. Both have iconic mermaids in their toolbox and gave me plenty to have fun with. Unfortuently, I'm not Chris Sanders. He can make all these crazy, rubber, contorted poses look so appealing- I do it and it just looks all twisted and unclear. After I finished this one, I wished I had switched her arms. Reaching with the far one would have worked better, I think. Its a warm up, what are you gonna do?

This is amazing. I wish that my warm ups looked like this. I agree though, the arms should be switched. i totally think that you should color this in. It would be an amazing piece. The fish and crab make me laugh.

Chris Sanders is a whole class in himself, but I agree with other posters in that you did him justice while making the composition your own! I do concur in that the arms should have been switched, but otherwise this is very appealing. :aww:
