So Much to Learn!

After watching a fantastic  You Tube Tutorial by Alyce at Kit and Clowder, I decided to have ago at the technique she used on the mermaids tail.

I chose an image from Tiddly Inks, called Mermaid Miranda, which was one of the first digis I tried to colour last year.
As you can see the results were not fantastic, very flat,  although I was very pleased with myself at the time- lol

Hopefully, you will agree that my latest attempt is an improvement!

I love they way that Alyce's Tutorial shows how to colour the tail to look like scales.

I coloured her up with my Pro Markers of which there were many!!, so I shall only give the ones I used for the hair and tail

Tail - Tropical Orchid, Pink Lobster, Fushia Pink & Pink Mittens
Hair - Sandstone, Raw Sienna, Burnt Sienna and Copic E31

I merged her with Make it Crafty Under the sea elements.

I cut some Cricut corners using Ornemental Iron.

I added some shells sprayed with Glitter and some glossy accents to the bubbles and a gorgeous little metal seahorse - I found these on ebay.

Now I must go and watch another one of  Alyce's Tutorials - cos there is so much to learn.
