Whatchamadrawit

For my whatchamadrawit I chose the prompt a heart-shaped flower on a mermaid's nose in a fish tank. For this prompt I had to figure out a fish tank I wanted the mermaid to be and whether I wanted to make a small fish tank for a small mermaid or a large fish tank for a normal-sized mermaid. I also had to figure out a design for the heart-shaped flower because I've never seen one before and I had a hard time with this because the flower would either look weird, not look like a heart or would look too simple.

I used Ohuhu Markers and Copic markers for the fish tank and its accessories blended the colors together with a blending marker and I also used the marker for the mermaid's skin and her hair. Then I used watercolor for everything else!

For this project, I looked up multiple references of fish tanks and mermaid drawing positions to have a visual of what I wanted everything to look like, I also looked up heart shape flowers to hopefully find something that would give me an idea of what the flower should look like but sadly I couldn't find anything so I used my own creativity to find a solution. For this project I also practiced using markers and blending them, I've never really worked with them before so I wanted to make sure I had an idea of how they work before I started using them on my project.
