Mermay Day 14 ๐งโโ๏ธ / Mother's Love ๐ - Early Access
Hi Patrons! ๐Today's Mermay is dedicated to all mothers out there! It's also inspired by Klimt! I really love how intimate and lively his paintings are!I know Mother's day has passed already but I wanted to make a little tribute to moms! I think a mother's love is bigger than the ocean (yes, I'm cheesy ๐ ) but I've been missing my mom lately since I haven't seen her in a while due to lockdown here! I hope you're all staying safe!Have a great day! Thank you so much for your support! ๐ฅฐ

Mermay Day 13 ๐งโโ๏ธ / Bouquet ๐ - Process
Hi Patrons! ๐I want to do something flowery today so I wanted to paint a mermaid bouquet! I ended up changing the colour palette midway to opt for a darker background! I thought it created a better contrast! For the curves tool, I adjusted the palette to bring in more pinks and reds to complement the green hues! ๐As for the brushes I mostly used: Graphite, Sea and Fog, Copper, Blocky, Bonobo Chalk (Default Procreate Brush)Overall, I'm very happy with this mermaid! It makes me so excited to go to a plant nursery when stores open up her...

Hi Patrons! ๐Here's my Mermay for day 11! I wanted to draw a mermaid in the hot springs! I visited Japan several years ago and I really enjoyed seeing the monkeys bathing themselves and relaxing in the hot springs, they were so cute! ๐This process went through a lot of stages since I wasn't really happy with the mermaid's pose for the first half of the painting so I changed it up to something more relaxing! I went with a more painterly style for the background to bring attention to the characters!๐ฎMail Updates: ๐ฎI went t...

Hi Patrons! ๐Here's my new Mermay for Day 9! I wanted to try a different approach today and play around with Photoshop!

Mermay Day 8 ๐งโโ๏ธ / Succulents ๐ฑ๐ - Early Access
Here's my Mermay for day 8! I wanted to do something simple since I'm feeling pretty tired today and didn't want to push myself too much! I'm finding it a lot harder to keep up than last year! I think maybe I feel pressured to keep that momentum so I'm thinking of doing some simple mermaids from time to time like the one I just did today!Edit: I made some quick tweaks and changes I made this morning to increase the vibrancy! I'm so much more happier with the colours now!

Hi Patrons! ๐ปโญToday's Mermay features one of my favourite mermaids I painted last year, "Starry Night"!
