Greetings Friends of Steemit!
This is my entry to the contest Mermaid Monday contest! Week 23: Mermaizing hair Organized by @nymia.aryn.
For this Sirena drawing in which the theme of the contest is the hair I am inspired by the beautiful colors of the sea and a black background to enhance the colors. Happy to participate in this contest, which, I really enjoy!
I hope you like it!
Materials
- 1 white sheet A2
- 2h graphite pencil
- Black pen
- Erase
- Sharpener
- Crayons
Drawing Process
1. Make the sketch
2. Start making the edges and details with an extra-thin marker and a black ballpoint pen.
3. I started coloring the drawing by the hair, first make a base in several colors: light blue, dark blue, king blue, turquoise, apple green and light green, then I made many very fine lines with my crayons that I indicated earlier and apply some lines with blue marker to highlight the color and so I got a beautiful mermaid hair.
4. In this step I gave color to the tail and fins of the siren first make a base with red orange and yellow and finally put red scarlet, and for the yellow and orange fins.
5. I finished the drawing by coloring with black crayon the circle and the background I took out the tip and with the technique of blurring with my finger I proceeded with my crayons (indigo blue, violet, black and purple) and I gave color to the universe, and details like the waves of the water and other details with cold white paint.

Thank you to the entire Steemit Community for your support!!
Wow! I super love this @akarantain! I can't believe you use crayons with this. Please clue me in on what kind you used. Fabulous job - I love all the contrasts and depths of color you achieved.
Thank you very much @Everlove for appreciating my work! If they are papermate brand wood crayons, their colors are really bright and on top of that place some blue marker touches on the hair !!
