Whether you're ready to draw a mermaid from scratch or simply want to practice your coloring skills, this class has something for you. We'll guide you through my proven illustration process, covering:

• Lineart and Grayscale: Mastering the foundation of your mermaid drawing.
• Color Selection: Choosing a palette that brings your mermaid to life.

I create my illustrations using Procreate on iPad Pro, but the techniques are easily adaptable to other popular drawing software like Clip Studio Paint, Photoshop, and Krita.
