Hello everyone! πŸ€— Are you all having a good weekend so far? πŸ’•

Here’s this week’s sneak-peek of a mermaid I’m working on! I’ve always been inspired by Victorian paintings and how soft and elegant they are, and I thought it would be cool to take some inspiration from that painting style and draw a vintage merm! πŸ’– I rarely use color palettes like this too so I’m having fun experimenting 😌

Let me know if you guys would like to have a step-by-step of this drawing! I’ll be posting a process video for all Big-Hearted Butterflies ($5+)! πŸ₯³

What theme should my next mermaid be? ✨

Have a happy Sunday everyone! ☁️

Love,

Lydia✏️

I loooove the idea of a steampunk/solar punk merm! 😍 adding metallics onto a soft mermaid would be such a pretty combination!

Haha thank you! πŸ˜„ I felt like the palette needed some subtle contrasting blue to offset the warm tones ☺️ I love using complementary colors! πŸ’–
