I tend to use dodge and burn in about every draw I do somewhere or another...can we say obsession?? lol! I do overuse them and I'm trying to tone it down a bit...I'm only in my 2nd step of the 12 step program for dodge and burn addicts =) LOL! Thx for the comments =)

I just want to hold it in my hands, it's so cute! I really love the details of the feathers. I think your use of dodge and burn is effective for this as a whole :)

"Awwwwwww"....this one is really adorable......that's the first time I've ever seen a baby mermaid. You're doing great with this pic.....I'm anxious to see it finished.....:)

Teapot (Feb 23, 2010)

A merchild! Lovely idea. I've always been fascinated by mermaid stories. I love her hair and the way you shaded the rock is very well done. Looks like they live in the Bahamas.

I think they live in Tahiti......

this is a beautiful painting, it really is a fine work of art,( unfinished tapestry?) Beautiful tapestry textures, and great painting. You should hang it on the wall.

Very fun style :) love it.

Teapot (Feb 24, 2010)

What a fun drawing. Trying to figure out what the monument is a monument of, exactly. Does look like a pig with big hair...but then there seems to be kind of a squirrel tail, too. That sky has made my day. I don't want to talk about yard cleanup and trees.

Axil62 (Feb 24, 2010)

I think it's a monument to book burning

I've been secretly admiring her style, it's free and loose and looks like it comes really natural to her.

This looks pretty! I love the use of colors and line technique

Layne (Feb 24, 2010)

very nice colors :)

And this is probably not what you were going for, but the nose reminds me of a beak, and I think you should add two litttle yellow chick wings. :D ... as I said, probably not what you were going for :P

Thanks. Yeah, I did warm up the colors some. I wanted it to look a bit faded and old fashioned but don't think I accomplished that. In the ref photo (which I didn't follow much at all except for the pose) she seems to be kneeling next to a chair. Could be interpreted as rather suggestive, I guess. I'd kill for that hair.

Miss_DJ (Feb 23, 2010)

nice work, teapot. the dress pattern is great, as well as the texture.

firecracker (Feb 23, 2010)

"Wow"! This is totally awesome! My fave part is her gorgeous red hair.....nice draw! :)

I hear Beatles' sitar music when I look at this. Hope I don't get an acid flashback.

davincipoppalag (Feb 23, 2010)

Terrific piece! Great idea for a drawing! I use those power strips to make an outlet more accessible that otherwise can't be reached =) Lovely lighting and textures too!

Layne (Feb 23, 2010)
