"They told me it was the 'Seahorse Style'."
"It's more like 'Dragon Lady', mum."
The Middle-aged Mermaid has changed a little - maybe a lot. This is her 11 year old daughter, Ingrid. I've drawn Grandma Mermaid too - she's grumpy about something, but I'm not quite sure what. I'll show you her soon. These are still at the sketch stage - as you can probably see, there is a lot of rubbing out of lines as I work out things like: is her waist wide enough?; should her boobs be droopier?; should she look worried or surprised? She will think about things other than hair in the future, but hair is a big issue for now.
Her hair is quite bouffant and big. I like big hair (well yes, I like Dolly Parton) - like a country singers say "the higher the hair, the closer to Jesus". Actually I don't know if they do say that - it's just an observation I’ve had that whenever a country star releases a "gospel" album their hair has been “raised”! Loving the mermaids!Looking forward to seeing more of the family!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Trying to work out how to get the tinned mermaid story in there!
DeleteLovely drawings Melita. Another talent from the wonderful Ms Smilovic!
ReplyDeleteAnd... she's come so fat since you last drawing, which makes me think practice makes perfect! I'm inspired to spend more time drawing and less time thinking about it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jude - I love your drawings. Do more!
