Enchanting Mermaids in Ink: A 3-Day Line Art Challenge

1. Welcome and Introduction : Hi, everyone, and welcome to my new class enchanting Mermaid in Ink, a five day line art challenge. In this class, you will learn how to create beautiful and detailed line art illustration using Fine liner. We'll focus on flowing for intricate pattern and expressive details to bring each mermid to life. We'll be working on three main projects. The first one was a glance from the deep. The second one is this Oceans grease ful bloom, followed by Echos Beneath the star, the third project. Along with this, we also have a bonus project, Seaweed Serend in which we'll be using more supplies. Hi, everyone. My name is Vishal. I'm an artist from India. On Skillshare, I teach g friendly classes on oy, Piston, watercolor, ink illustration, and more. You can also find more of my work on my Instagram and YouTube. In this class, we'll start with the basics where I'll guide you through essential techniques like line control, hatching and detailing. I'll also show you how to construct mermaid form, including the body, piece and flowing tails along with few decorative elements. All the legions are in real time, so you can always follow along with me comfortably at your own piece. I'll be uploading one project each day of the class. This class is perfect for anyone who enjoy detailed line art and wants to explore creating elegant and expressive mermid illustration. So join me in this class and let's create something beautiful together. 2. Class Project : For this class, we have got three main illustration. For the first one in here, we have a glance from the team, followed by Ocean's Graceful Bloom. Then we have the echos beneath the stars. And here's the bonus one Seaweed Serenade. I'll be uploading one project each day so you can follow along step by step and build your skills gradually. For your class project, you can choose to complete all the project or simply pick your favorite one to work on. Along with your final illustration, I also encourage you to see your practice seeds. This includes your hatching, line exercises, fees, studies, and mermaid construction sketches. Once you are done, don't forget to upload your work in the project gallery. I'll be personally going through your project and sharing feedback. I'm really excited to see your beautiful mermaid. So take your time, enjoy the process, and let's get started. 3. Supplies: For this class, I'll be using a pencil and as it to do the basic pencil sketching. Then we have got Sakura micron fine linear. For most of the project, I'll only be using it apart from it. I also got this Tombospespin. Instead of it, you can also use other supplies you can use. You can use JL pen sketch pin or normal boil point pin. You can also use white jelly pen to add highlights or a little bit more detailing, masking tape to secure the paper. In here, I'm using 180 GSM, white colored paper. Any paper of more than 150 GSM will do the work, and I'll also be using tissue paper. You don't need all the supplies to create the illustration. You'll only need a simple fine liner or a normal Wallpoint queen will do the work too. 4. Basics : Welcome to the second part. In here, we'll explore some additional technique that will help you add more depth, texture, and visual interest to your illustrations. Let's start with the cross hatching. This cross hatching builds upon the hatching. In case of hatching, we only use one set of parallel lines. In here, we are using two sets of parallel lines, one on top of the other. The first example one was with vertical and angle line. In here, I created vertical and horizontal lines. Here's the third example with both diagonals one. Like the hatching lines, we can also do the seeding using the cross hatching. We'll just increase the number of the lines. That is increasing the number of layering. In here, I'm going to make the top section, the top left side, bit darker, so I'm adding more lines in that region to make that region darker. Generally for the cross hatching, we use two sets of the line. Instead of it, you can use three or more sets like this. I here I'm using three sets of the line. For the final example, I'll be using four sets of the line like the hatching, here is piecing line weight also matters. Be using crosshatching for any of my project, but if you want to include it, you can include in some of the sections of the project. With the cross hatching, you will get a bit more darker and deeper shadows. You can use it to create her texture and to create fabric folds. Next in here, we have got a stippling or dot technique. Stippling uses dots instead of lines to create sating. This simple dots like this. This is a very versatile technique. The main disadvantage is that it takes a lot of time. I won't be using it, but you can use it to add minor details or create a different kind of texture for some of the sections. Right now in here, I'm doing sading using the hatching technique. We are going to make the left side a bit darker, so I'll be adding more dots. Like the hatching and the cross hatching here too, fewer dots leads to lighter area. With denser dots, we get darker area. You can also use it to create seeps. Again here, I'm going to use the stepping to create the circular seeps and then I'll be using stippling dots to do a little bit of sading for this spherical sail. Apart from this, you can also use strippling to create a little bit of skin tracture and you can also use it for creating bubbles or stars. And as I was mentioning, you can use it to create outlines like this. Using this kind of simple dots to create outlining in this manner with the stippling. The stippling is not all about this kind of smaller dots. You can create varieties of dots like this, simple circular seeps like this in this manner. And as I was mentioning, I'll be using this kind of stippling. Instead of smaller dots, I'll be using this kind of larger circular seeps to create the bubbles for the background. Some of the oval some of the bubbles will be circular and seeps, some will be somewhat oval and a little bit distorted like this. So in this manner, I'll be using the stippling in some of the sections of our project for the mermaids. Next in here, we have got stippling. Scribbling is a very free and expressive technique. It creates loose texture. Generally, I'll be using this kind of free flowing lines and you don't have to use this kind of curve lines to do the scribbling. You can also use this kind of angled line or this point of pointed lines, this angle curved or straight lines like this. I like strippling hatching and cross hatching, you can also do the seeding using the scribbling. The main advantage of this scribbling is that it is very time effective. It does not take that much time. You can use it to do he or create background shadows or create organic texture like see plants. Section, we have got a small line pattern and mark. This includes sort lines, random strokes, radiating lines, and clustered mark. The first one was random sort lines. Then we have got a little bit organized one. The third example that I created, radiating lines. And here's another one, clustered arrow like marks. Random marks like this. This can be used to add texture quickly. It also gives motion and energy to the illustration. Mostly, I'll be using it to fill empty spaces without heavy seating. Can take it a step further and create this kind of tiling. Here are a few more examples like this, simple curved lines, small lines like this. You can use to create this kind of small curve B saves or somewhat smaller scales of the scallops like this. Moving on to a little bit more sting like this. So somewhat similar to what we did with the hatching and here instead of applying low presser, I am applied. I applied more pressure and flick my arm to get this kind of hatching line. You can use it to create a little bit of this kind of grass like texture. Some of the background elements that I'll be using simple star like sees like this, four pointed or five pointed stars like this, you can make it larger, smaller. I'll be using it along with the bubbles for the background. Here smaller version of the stars. Apart from it, I'll also be using this kind of broken lines. For some of the sections, I'll be using this kind of broken lines to give a little bit of more details to the background. Then we have this kind of organic swirls and curve lines. This can be useful to create water currents, here, movement, and stylized design elements. So that's all for this section. I'll be seeing you in the next one. Oh. 5. More Techniques : Welcome to the basics, and this lesson we'll go through the essential line technique that we'll be using throughout the class. This basics will help you create flow, texture, depth, and details in your Mrmtillustration. In here, I'm using Tombos Busbin to create simple lines. Right now, I'm using different supplies that I have. Feel free to taste out your supplies and what kind of supplies you are going to use. For most of the project, I'll only be using the Sakura micron fine liner, but with a different kind of supplies, you will get different kind of line. With the breastbin you will get a little bit more density of the line, or you can see increased line weight. With the ski pin too, you can use it to do a little bit of outlining and create darker tones. You can also use el pin or normal wall point pain. So I would recommend you to try different supplies and see what kind of lines you can get with that. Let's start with a very simple hatching. I hatching, we use parallel lines like this, simple straight parallel lines like this. Here's another example of angled hatching lines. For most of the project, I'll be using a lot of hatching. Hatching is not only parallel lines. We can add a lot of varieties to it. Like in here, we are wearing the spacing in between the lines. With evenly spaced lines, we can create light tones with closer lines like this here, we can create darker tones. In case of diagonal or angle lines, we can create variation and change the directions. The closer the lines are, the darker the area will appear. In here, I created four boxes, you can see how layering lines build up. Me layers leads to darker shadows and fewer lines lead to lighter areas. Like in here for the bottom section, the bottom right corner, I added more lines to make it a little bit darker. Seeding using this kind of hatching line. I'll be mostly using this for her hair, for the mermaid's hair, for some section of the mermaid's fin or some section of the mermaid tail. For the second example in here, I'm using straight lines and we are going to make the left side a bit darker, adding more hatching lines like this in this manner to make it more darker. I'll be using seeding using the hatching lines to make some sections of our here or some section of our tail a little bit darker to add a little bit of contrast and to heat sados. Mostly, I'll be using curved hatching lines. The setting that I'm doing is somewhat similar to what we did with the diagonal lines in here we're creating straight lines. Next in here, we have got a different kind of seeding using hatching lines. Instead of using larger lines in here, I'll be using smaller lines, smaller hatching lines, and we'll be using rows and rows of hatching lines like this in this manner to do the seeding. Basically, we are going to fill the entire section with this kind of simple seeding lines, simple hatching lines like this in this manner to get a little bit of darker region. I'll be using this kind of seeding for some of the smaller section for the scallops on top of the mermits fin and on top of the mermittil. Only using a small amount of this kind of sading. Apart from this, we'll also be doing the seeding in this manner like this. This kind of seating is somewhat similar to pencil seating. You'll have to just click your arm to get this kind of lighter seeds. If you apply a little bit of heavy placer, you can get a little bit of darker tone or you can just do two layers like this in here. For the second section, I'll be doing two layers to make it a little bit darker. I'll be using a lot of this kind of seeding, particularly for the mermaids fin and a little bit for the mermaids hair. I'll also be using it for some of the section for the mermaid's clothing. This is going to be a very versatile seeding that we'll be using You've got a rough idea how we'll be using hatching lines to do the seeding. This will simple straight angled on diagonal lines. Apart from this, we'll also be using curved lines. These curved lines are extremely important for the mermid. We'll be using it to create hair flow, tail movement, and to create water current. We can use simple curve to sew gentle flow. We can use layered curve to sew volume and direction, and we'll also be using spiral curves to give dynamic movement. You can consider it somewhat similar to the hatching lines. So we'll be using hatching technique along with this kind of curve lines. The curve line that we are creating in here will come handy. We'll be using this to follow the seeps and fill a lot of empty spaces, like we'll be following the seeps of the strands of the here that we'll be creating or we'll be using it to follow the seeps of the scales that we'll be adding on top of the mermaids tail. For some of the sections of the mermaids clothing, we'll be using the kind of curve lines to do the outlining or to add decorations on top of it. Here's a simple example of how we using the curved lines to create strengths of our hair. We'll be making the ends a little bit darker like this. In here I showed you how you can follow the seeps or the fw when drawing the curve lines. This will make our drawing look more natural and more alive. Next, we have got scallops. Scallops are basically seps that are repeated in curve pattern, generally curved patterns. We'll be using it to create mermaid tail scales. Also we'll be using it to create decorative pattern or to create fabric or ornamental details. These are some of the simple kind of scallops that I'll be using. You can also create the scallops further apart or separate it like this. We'll be adding more details to it, and apart from that, we'll also be doing the seeding using curved line or hatching lines. And you can also use the pointed variations to get SAP designs. In case of the scallops, keep spacing consistent for knee patterns, and you can do the overlapping to create a natural scale effect. For our main project, we'll be using all these techniques together. We'll be using lines to create a structure, we'll be using hatching to create depth, curves to create movement, and scallops to create texture. The more you practice the basics, the easier it will be to create detailed and elegant environmental illustrations. 6. Mermaids : Welcome to the final tutorial. In here, I'll be showing you the simple guidelines that I'll be following for all the projects in here. For all the mermds that I'll be creating, I'll be following the simple guidelines. I'll be dividing the mermts body into two parts. For the first part, we'll have the humanoid form of the mermid and for the second part, we'll have the Cl creature, the fist part. For the upper part, we'll be dividing into four equal sections. Lower part will have four sections or more than four sections. Generally for most of the section, I'll be increasing the sections for the lower part. Instead of the four equal part, I'll be creating six or seven. For the face of the mermaid, I'll be using this simple tide line, circular and curved see for mermidpace. Then we have got this kind of rectangular see for the upper section, the chest of the mermaid. And for the remaining 1.5 section, we'll be creating her stomach. I'm going to make the stomach a little bit thinner, and for the lower section, we'll have the mermd's tail. Mermit's elbow will be lying in here, this beside her stomach like this. And for the mermaid's tail in here, we'll be making this section, the torso, we'll be making the mermid's torso at the waist a bit thicker, comparatively thicker than the mermaid's chest. By thicker, I mean the width of the mermid's tail will be comparatively larger as compared to the mermaid's taste. So this is the simple guidelines that will be following for straight mermid and now a little bit curve or mermid in different directions. As I mentioned, for the upper part, we'll be dividing into four sections. Simple straight line for the upper section, and as for the mermid tail, you can create any kind of sep curved see like this. Usual guideline, circular seams for the top. Then we have got this kind of conical sea or rectangular seam for the chest and the stomach. I'll be dividing the arm into two sections so that it will become easier to sketch it out. And we'll be creating very simple hand gestures so that it will be easier to create it. I won't be making it that much complicated. As for the mermit tails and the pins, I'll be showing you different example for all the projects we have created very simple yet very different kind of pens and mermt tail. Here's another one. So in here, I'll be changing the direction of the head like usual, starting with a straight line like this for the upper section of the mermt's body, any kind of curve cheap for the mermt tail. Here for the mermaid head, this will be shifted a little bit towards the upper direction like this. For the first three section, we have this kind of straight line and for the fourth section, we are just going to change the angle of the straight lines and create the head in the same manner, the same kind of proportion. But for the torso and the remaining portion, we'll have to sift it accordingly. We'll have to make it a little bit curve like this. Her arms and the remaining section, the upper part will remain somewhat similar, and we'll be changing the direction of the hand and placement of the hand depending upon the curve of her body. You can create any kind of MermdT, any set or any curve. These are the simple guidelines that I'll be following for all the four projects that I'll be creating for this class. As for the mermaids phase. Start with the simple straight lines and divide into three sections. For the first two section, we have got circle, and for the remaining section, we have got this kind of triangular scene. We have got here in here for the upper section. Simple guidelines like this for the eye socket and just below the circular CP nose and albicleting very simple nose and mouth like this. Now you can play with these guidelines. You can make it a little bit over like this. In here, I just increase the width of the face. The guidelines for the eyes, the nose and the mouth will remain similar. But in here since I have increased the width, accordingly, we have to set the eyes and nose and the mouth a little bit further apart. The first phase that I showed you was somewhat similar to real human. The second one is somewhat anime. Mostly we'll be using somewhat of combination of first and second one to create a phase for our mermids. Let's create a few more examples. This is the kind of pace that I'll be using for two of the mermids, this kind of anime life piece. A bit larger circle and then we have a small elliptical s. For all the mermid, generally, I'll be creating large eyes like this, anime like eyes. You don't have to follow the same instruction. You can create human like eyes. But to make it a little bit more animated, I'll be creating larger eyes, smaller nose and mouth. As we separate the difference lines accordingly to the position of her body, we can do the same thing for her face. We'll be sifting the acessine vertical lines accordingly. Like in here for this two example, I'll be shifting her face toward, left or up or down. In here, her face is tilted towards this direction towards the left. For this phase, let's shift it towards the left. So accordingly, we'll be shifting the eyes, nose, and the mouth. The horizontal line has also been shift ined a little bit. In here, for this pace, the piece is tilted downward, so accordingly, the height of the piece has decreased a little bit. And in here for this face, it's facing towards the lab. So only one side of our face will be visible like this, only one eye, the nose will be visible like this, we'll be creating sharp nose like this. For one of the project, we'll be creating the side view for the mermit like this. The pieces that we'll be creating will be more detail. These are just draft demonstrations so that you can get a rough idea how you can easily create paces in different proportions and different sizes and in different direction. This face is similar. This face is looking towards up, and it's a little bit shifted, and it's a little bit tilted like this. So accordingly, I septate the placement of the eyes, nose, and the mouth like this. The hair that we'll be adding on top of the head will be a little bit thicker. So on top of the circular save will be increasing its thickness a little bit by adding the layer of hair on top of it. As for the eyes, I'll be creating this kind of larger eyes. Inside this somewhat elliptical seams, we'll be adding eyeballs and the pupils, large eyeballs like this. As for the eyebrows, I'll be creating quite smaller one, and for all the eyes, I'll be adding eye lass to give it a little bit more characteristics. Instead of this larger eyes, you can also create this smaller eyes. You can create this smaller or slanted eyes. Here's one more example of human like eyes. Simple elliptical seeps like this to eyes like this. Three or four elases. The eyes, the nose and the mouth that we'll be creating won't be that much ditty. We'll be keeping it quite simple and quite easy. Here's another example of large eye. For the larger eyes, I won't be creating the complete outlines. I'll be leaving some of the pieces like this. I'll be leaving some section of the outlines empty like this, and for the insights, we'll be adding large eyeballs, pupils, and IVs like this. Let's put the nose and the mouth. I'll be using very simple Als for the nose and for the mouth, very simple straight line like this or curved lines. Here's a very simple demonstration for the nose, simple ALS that's a simple guidelines that I'll be following for all the mermaids. 7. A Glance from the Deep : Welcome to the first project, a glance from N D. Starting with simple outlining the same kind of guideline that I showed you in the earlier demonstration with you, a straight line. Now we are going to divide into eight equal section, first divide into two equal halves, then further divided into four equal halves and finally into eight section, the first four sections will be for her upper part of the body and for the remaining four sections on the lower sections, we'll be using it to create the mermaid stay. For her face, starting with the circular C. Now we are going to extend it a little bit, the lower section of her face. You will be facing towards the right, and she will be looking towards us a little bit. A curved line like this, this will be the seep of her body. Her body is a little bit towards the right. Extending it a little bit like this for her face. We are going to create a bit thinner neck. Now for the neck, two simple lines like this. Since our face is towards the right a little bit, and it's a little bit tilted using this kind of angle line for the middle section of our face. Now, for that in the upper part, we are going to create somewhat of rectangular C. You can consider it to be somewhat of conical or rectangular C, a combination of both following the curve see, the as see that we have created. Making her waist bit thinner, comparatively thinner. This is more similar to the conical see than to the rectangular see. This will be the back of the mermaid in here. This will be her right hand. He left hand will be beside her body, so it won't be visible. Only a small portion of it will be visible. If you want to change the placement of the hands, you can do that, too. For this mermaid, I won't be adding any ornaments on her hand. But if you want to add ornaments, bangles or accessories to it, you can do that, too. I'm just going to create simple hands like this. She won't be holding anything, but if you want to add any objects on her hand, you can do that, too. This is going to be a rough sketch. When we'll be doing the inking using the fine liner, we'll be making changes in adjustment so you don't have to stick with the pencil sketch that you have created. Feel free to make changes in adjustment as you see it. Now for the mermaids tail, we are going to make this section a bit thicker. Following the as seed that we have created and making the mermaid tail a little bit thinner as we move. Only a small section of this hand will be visible like this. Simple guidelines like this to create the rough outlines for the placement of eyes, nose, and the mouth for our mermaid. I'm going to create flowing here for this mermaid. Lots of he on both the sides. Rough outlining for the top of the mermaid's cloth. This is simple see for the mermaid's body. We are going to define it, make more adjustment, add more details to it. I'll be creating lots of flowing pins for the mermid tails like this. This is just a rough outlining. We'll be making adjustment when we'll be doing the outlining with the fine liner, increasing the thickness of the upper part of the mermt tails just below her torso like this, creating small projections like this for the fingers, her arm is folded, only a small section of her fingers will be visible. Here as I mentioned, if you want to add anything on her hand, you can do that too. Putting the part of the mermaid tail a little bit. And here, this is the outlining for her body. If you want to make changes and adjustment, you can do that. These were done with the pencil sketching. Now going with the sakura micron fine line to do the outlining. In here, I'm starting with the phase. As I mentioned, you don't have to stick with the pencil outlines that you have created, feel free to make changes in adjustment. As I showed you in that demonstration, I'm going to create larger eyes for the mermaid anime like eyes, small nose, C for the nose and a small mouth, very simple curved line for the mouth. Following the guidelines that we created for the eye socket and creating outlines for the eyes. Let's add the small eyeses on her eyes. Somewhat of spherical see for the insides, creating the eyeballs in this manner. I'm going to create two concented circles, one for the iris and one for the pupil. I'll also be leaving a little bit of white space for the highlights of the eyes. Create small projections like this for the eyebrows, small cap for the nose, small curved sap like this for her mouth. One of her ear will be visible, simple, small ear like this. Instead of this, if you want to create other kind of ear, you can do that too. Now the other side of her neck for the neck, I'm going to create a very simple ornament simple necklace. Instead of this, if you want to keep it plain and simple, you don't have to do this, or you can create any other accessories for her neck. For her back. As I mentioned, this arm be visible only a small section, the elbow will be visible. The other portion of her arm will be lying behind her body. For this arm, everything will be visible like this, going over the outlines of the cylindrical see for the upper part of forearm. In here for this project, I'll only be using the Sakura micron pile to do that outlining. Instead of it, if you want to create a little bit of dynamic lines, you can always use breast paints or the sketch pins to make some of the sections of the outlines a little bit more darker by dynamic lines Iiming lines of varied thickness. It adds more interest to the illustrations. You can get more dynamic lines while using the breast pins. Simple outlining like this for her fingers and hand, the front of her body, the chest, G over the outlines of the mermaids tail. H. Let's sip the mermod's tail a little bit below like this. Make it comparatively thicker somewhat of same thickness as of her upper part of her body. In here, for the upper part of her tail, I'll be creating a garland of flour and I'll be using lots of scallops. In here, we are doing the outlining for the pins. As I mentioned, I'm going to create numerous pins in here. You can always download the image of the mermet from the project section and use it as reference. Feel free to make changes to the number and the placement of the pens in here. Instead of this kind of pin, if you want, you can create other variations of the pen, or you can keep it a little bit simpler and don't create pins in here only for the Mermt style. The end of the Mermttail you can only create the pens there. I'm also going to create small fins in here, only a small section of the fence will be visible in the front like this. The first layer of the fins, below it, I'll be creating multiple ones, mostly two or three more layers like this. We are going to give it a little bit of flowing or you can see, we're going to add a little bit of movement to it. I'll be using lots of sading lines and simple hatching lines to do the inking in here later on. Following the outlines that we created with the pencil sketch earlier for the rest of the Mermt style, we're going to make this secon a little bit thinner the end of the mermid style. And in here, too, we'll be creating the same kind of pens that we have created so far. But in here, the side will be comparatively larger and we'll be dividing into more sections. Create this kind of simple curve flowy seeps like this. The aim for this kind of pins that I'm creating in here is to give it a little bit of movement. Continuing on with the remaining sections in here for the remaining fins. I'll be creating two or more fins in here for this portion. And as I mentioned, you are free to increase or decrease the number of the fins you can play with the seeps in the sizes or instead of this kind of fin, you can create other variations of it. So these we are done with outlining for the mermaid tails and the mermaid fins. Now let's do the outlining for her clothes. I'm going to create a very simple clothing in here for her. You are free to add more detailings, add more accessories, create other variations, pattern and designing for it. Right now, just do the outlining for it. Later on, we'll be doing the designing and adding patterns. Now moving back to the mermaids here. In here, we are going to create lots of flower simple, small flowers like this. Here, too, instead of this kind of flower, if you want to add as the series here pins, you can do that, too. You can also incorporate. You can also incorporate some C cells or other secretes in here, you can add a star face or see cells or conch. Small flowers like this in here for her he just beside her ear. If you want, you can also add flowers on the other side, put the insides, and in between the flowers, we are going to use lots of hatching lines to make that section a little bit different from the wrist of her hair. Doing the outlining for the other arm in here, only a small section. The elbow will be visible like this. Let's do enough outlining for the mermaid's head, and then we'll be adding that detailing for the mermaid'she. We're going to use lots of hatching line curved hatching lines to add the detailing and do the inking for the remaining portion of our hair. And with these, we are done with the upper section, the upper part of our head for the hair. And as I mentioned, we are going to create flowing hair in here. I'm going to create lots of flowing strends of hair like this, large strengths like this, and then we'll be connecting them all together. You don't have to strictly follow how I'm doing it. Feel free to make changes in adjustment to the seas in the sizes as well as the placement of the strengths of the hair that we are creating in here. Create this kind of simple curves, and then we'll be adding more details by making this kind of outlines a little bit more details with two or more lines to do the outlining. Or you can say that we will be going to give a little bit more volume to the strengths of here that we have created in here, doing the same thing on this side, large strengths of flowing here like this. Simple outlining like this in here for her clothing. This project is a little bit larger, so I have divided into three sections. This is the first section. In here, I'll only be doing the outlining. And then in the next two section, we'll be adding more details and doing the inking. Simple outlining and simple patterns like this for her clothing, the upper part of her clothing. Instead of this kind of designs and pattern, you can create other kind of designs and pattern. In here, I'm going to create a garland flower garland, the same kind of flower that I did for her head. But in here, the sizes of the flowers will be comparatively large, and I'm also going to create smaller leaves. This is optimal. If you want to keep it clean and simple, you can just create the mermaid's tail and use the scallops later on. Or you can just follow along with me and create this kind of flower garland. And you don't have to create the same kind of flower. You can create other kind of flowers. Or instead of the flower, you can also add accessories. You can add chains or you can add necklace tied around her tail. Adding more flowers like this. Lightly ase the pencil mark so that we can add more detailings. Here, for now, I have only created the flowers. I'm going to add small leaves around it, and I'm also going to do a little bit of hatching to make this section a little bit darker, comparatively darker than the rest of her torso. For this section, I'm only going to do the outlining like this and add a little bit more detailing. But in the next section, we are going to add more detailings, add scallops, add more volume to her hair, and do the seeding for the pins. And yeah, that's all for this section of the video. I'll be seeing you in the next part of this project. 8. Fins and Hair : Welcome to the third and final part of the project, a glance from the T continuing on where we laptop. And here we are going to add more details to the scallops and create smaller scallops too. In here, I'm increasing the line weight for the bottom section of the scallops and dividing the scallops into two sections for the divisions of the scallops in here, the lines that are cating in the middle, for some of the lines, I'll be increasing the line weight, for the others, I'll be creating simple lines. By doing this, we are creating a little bit of variation between the different scallops. This is optimal. Instead of adding a single line, you can keep it simple with only the Up for this scallop or can add a little bit of sading. Do the seeding for the individual scallops that we have created. In here, as I was mentioning, creating smaller scallops in between the larger one, very small usps like this. And for the section, you want to make it bit darker, increase the number of smaller scallops and to keep it a bit lighter, just add fewer scallops for those sections. Numerous tinyus scallops in between the larger ones like this. Instead of this kind of sap scallops, you can create other variations or other kind of scallops. You can also create pointed scallops too. Adding the lines for the scallops in between the fins like this. In here, as I was mentioning that I'll be doing another layer of sading for the fence, but I was satisfied with it. So if you want to do a little bit more sading to make some of the sections of the fence a bit darker, you can do that, or you can just leave it as it is. You can also add a little bit of other color. So you can do the layering using red, green or blue. You can also do the layering using the white hail pin that will make it more interesting. Let's make this region the end of the Mermaid steel bit more darker. I'm moving back to the upper section, making the clothing, this part of the clothing a bit more darker to sow the Sadowscast it by her hand is making that text and bit darker, doing the same thing on this side, making it darker. Making some of the sections of the eyes a little bit darker. Adding the black for the eyes of the eye. A little bit more fine and detailing for some of the sections of her hair, increasing the line weight a little bit. With this, I'm done with my mermid. If you are not satisfied, you can add more details to more seeding or more hatching. Now for the additional detail for the background in here, I'm going to create this kind of bubbles present in the background. This is Jobson. If you want to only create the mermaid, you don't have to do this, or you can just follow along with me and create numerous bubbles like this, simple circular seeps like this. Not all the saves that I'll be creating will be circular. Some will be a little bit different like this. I'm also wearing the sine of the bubbles that I'm creating. On both the sides, I'll be creating numerous smaller and larger bubbles. If you want to create other kind of background, you can do that, too. You can add more lements for the background. You can add some smaller phrases. You can add few smaller plants or algae present in the background that will be interesting too. Now, moving on to the right side, the same kind of thing, simple bubbles like this. For this mermtin here, I did not add more accessories, but for our next two mermaids, I'll be adding more accessories for her hand, for her necklace and a little bit of more decorations for her tail, mermaid's tail. More larger and smaller bupers like this, don't oversaturate it. Now, for some of the sections, I'm just going to add few more final details. If you're satisfied with your project, you don't have to do anything. In here, for some of the sections, I'm making it a bit more darker, especially the outline section. In here, it's not visible, but I'm making this section, the lower part bit more darker supression in between the fence and the permit still more clear by adding more darker tones in here. And with these, we are done with our project, a glance from Nadine. I had a lot of fun painting this. I hope you enjoyed painting this one, and I'll be seeing you in the next project. 9. Background : Welcome to the second part of the glance from the team. Here we are going to continue where we left off, starting with the face. I reached the transil mass. Now let's make the upper section of our eyes a little bit darker. We are adding more weight to the line. By line weight, I mean the thickness of the line. As for hair, we are going to use this kind of curve hatching lines and do the seeding. For the entire section of our hair, we are going to add lots of hatching lines, lots of curve hatching lines to give the hair a little bit of flowing look. Put all the strends of the here, let's do the outlining like this. I'm also going to add a little bit of more detailing in this manner by creating these kind of small projections on the sides of our strands like this, small projection of some small hires that is coming out from the different strands of here like this. This is optional. Instead of this kind of small projection, you can keep it plain and simple with only the curved lines without any additional detailing. For all the strands of hair that we have created in here, we are going to do the similar thing. And to keep a clear separation in between the different strands of hair that we have created in here, we are going to increase the line weight for the outline sections a little bit. To increase the line, you can always use other supplies, other fine liner or the breast pans, or you can just add more layers of the fine liner on top of each other to make it a little bit more darker. We're going to do the inking in here in two or three layers. This is going to be the first layer. And later on, we'll be adding more layer, but for now for all the hairs on both the sides, just add more curved lines, create more strengths of hair and give it a little bit more volume. Lots and lots of curved lines like this in here. Instead of only using the black, you can always use other color. Instead of this, you can go with the blue colored hair, or you can go with a pink colored or red colored here. That will be interesting too. So you have got the rough idea how we'll be doing the hair for the merit. We are going to do the exact same thing on the other side. But for her forehead and here are a little bit different like this, since her hair is divided into two sections. Adding the curve line on both the sides in different direction. In here, too, we'll be making it bit darker but later on. Moving on to the right side, the same kind of curve lines. So for all the flowing strands of her hair in here, we are going to do exactly the same thing like we did for the other sign. In here, still, if you want to increase the number of the strands of hair, you can do that, too. You can change the direction of the flow of her hair a little bit. But for now, just continue onward doing the same kind of thing, adding more curved lines like this. Since this is a repetitive process and a little bit time consuming, I have increased their speed a little bit. If you want to follow along with me, you can pause the video or you can reduce their speed. Lots and lots of hatching lines like this, curved hatching lines. Right now, we are not doing the seeding using the hatching lines, but later on we'll also be doing the sting. Add more volume to each strengths of hair that you have created. Try to keep a little bit of clear separation in between each strengths of hair that you have created. In here, right now, it's in normal spin, a bit of more detailing for her clothing in here, beside her arm in here. This section will be a little bit darker, so I used more hatching lines to make it bit darker. Feel free to create other variations, pattern and designing for her clothes. To depict shadows or create darker regions, we are just going to use more black by doing more hatching or cross hatching if you prefer. But mostly in here for this project, I'll only be using the hatching. Not mostly, but for the entire project, I have only used the hatching. Now, adding detailings for the garland in here, creating this kind of small leaves, simple leaves like this and adding the mid ribs on the inside, two or three lines like this for the leaves. Instead of this kind of leaf, you can create other variations of the leaf too. Still if you want to incorporate other accessories in here, you can do that, too. Now, let's create scallops in here. I'll be creating these kind of simple scallops like this. Saved scallops. This will not joined together. I'll be creating distinct scallops, a bit apart from each other like this, numerous scallops of somewhat of same length like this. If you want to vary the seeds sizes or if you want to change the placement or create other variations or joint scallops, you can do that, too. You can also create punted scallops, a bit more details for the flower just beside the center using simple hatching lines, straight out hatching lines like this. Continue on with creating scallops for the entire section. This is the first kind of scallops that I'm creating in here. Then I'll be creating the second kind, not the second kind. It will be a similar kind of scallops. Use it a scallops, but the sizes will be comparatively smaller, far smaller. You can always use them that I provided in the project section, and feel free to make changes in adjustment to it. Continue on with creating more scallops. For the regions that you want to sow a little bit of sadose or to sew a little bit darkness, you can add more scallops for those regions. And for the section with fewer scallops, those section will be a bit lighter. So more scallops will create darker region, and with fewer scallops will get lighter regions. So accordingly, add the scallops. In here for the pens, we are going to divide into different sections like this and then do the sading. Simple lines like this, the same kind of lines that I showed you in the demonstration video. Flick your hand to get this kind of sading effect. Change the angle of the pain and change the angle of the pin a little bit and flick your arm like this to get this kind of seating effect. For the entire section, we are going to do this for all the fins that we have created, and to create a little bit of clear sepreen between different sections of the fin, we'll be increasing the line weight for some of the sections. F now just a rough detailing in this manner. And you can also create a clear separation using smaller hatching lines like this in here. For the fins that are adjacent to each other, but one lies behind the other, you can just increase the darkness by using small hatching lines like this. And we're going to create separations in this manner. For the curve, create a bit larger lines and then for the remaining section, simple sating using simple hatching lines. For both the upper and lower section of the pins, we are going to do the same thing. Simple sating using simple hatching lines. Also, as I mentioned, you can always use other supplies, other ras pins or the fine lines to make the outlines a bit more darker and to create a clear separation liteen different sections, few scallops in between for the empty spaces in between the fins. In here, the lines that I'm creating will be creating a clear separation between the different sections of the fins and in here for those lines, as you can see, I have increased the line weight. No, for the remaining section, simple shading like this. Instead of this kind of simple sating using this kind of hatching lines, you can create other variations of the hatching lines and feel the entire region with simple hatching lines or just follow along with me and do the sting in this manner. This process is a little bit repetitive and will take time. So be patient and do the remaining section on the fins. For the fins, too, we'll be doing the coloring or you can see the inking in two or three layers. This is our first layer. After doing this, we'll be adding another layer on top of it to make some of the sections bit more darker by adding more lines and for the remaining section to keep it a bit lighter, we won't be adding any details for it. Put this section, the start of the fin, making it completably darker. More sting in here in this manner. You have got the rough idea. So I have increased the speed a little bit. If you want to follow along with me, you can always pause the video or you can reduce the spin, the same kind of sating using the simple hatching lines, flick your arm to get this kind of sdingeffect. For the larger section or the larger fins, add comparatively larger lines for the smaller section, create smaller lines. And some of the empty regions in here for the upper section, adding more lines to increase the sading a little bit. For some of the sections where more fins are situated, we are going to make those section bit darker with more lines. With this, we are done with the first layering for the fence in here. If required, we'll be making some section bit more darker with more siding, moving on to the larger fence in here for the mermaid tail, the end of the mermaid tails. In here, the separon between different sections of the fence, we are going to make it more apparent. So increase the line weight a little bit more by making the outlines a bit more darker like this. Use two or three lines in here in this manner to get a clear separation like this. And for this section, we are going to do a little bit of larger sading using the same kind of technique by flicking your arm to get a bit lighter seeds of the sading Now let's do the seeding. For the entire pin in here, we are going to do the sading but do the sading in such a manner that different sections will remain a little bit different and a bit more distinct from each other. For this section to inhe the smaller pins, the same kind of sading. We are not going good to cover the entire section with a little bit of white squeeze in whiten. Now in here, once again, I have increased eye speed. This is quite repetitive process and you have got the rough idea how to do it. So for the entire section in here to follow along with me, you can pause the venu. Layers and layers of sding like this in here. Create tear separation for some of the section by increasing the line weight a little bit. Right now it's in real time. This is the second part of the project, and in here, we'll mostly be doing her here and the fence. And in the last section, we'll be adding more details in the form of bubbles and add more finite details and a little bit of more adjustment for the mermaid. With this, we are done with one section of the mermaid spin and here for the bottom section for the remaining sections, the same kind of outlining, increasing the line weight a little bit, dividing into different sections and then we'll be doing the seeding. And here for the bottom section, we are going to make it comparatively darker. So we are going to do lots of sading in here using hatching lines. Now for this section of the fin, once again, I have increased eye speed a little bit. Simple sading using this kind of lighter lines. To make it a little bit interesting, you can always use other colors too. Still, if you want to add a little bit more interest, you can add a little bit of blue, green or red. What I mean is that you can do another layer with those colors. Now for the final sections of the fence in here, the third section, to create a clear separation the mermaid fins and the mermid tail, I add a little bit of small sading lines in that section, the upper section of the fence. And for the remaining section, this following the curved shape of the different sections we have created and creating these kind of sading lines, curved sading lines for the entire section. More curved lines like this. A little bit of more siding in here for the lower section, the bottom part of the mermaids tail. Let's add more scallops for the remaining section of her tail. You said the scallops for the remaining sections. If you want, you can increase the number of scallops. You can add more scallops whenever you want. Now, moving back to the mermaids here, another layer of seeding in here. This is somewhat similar to the seeding that we did for the fin, but in here, I'm applying comparatively more presle and the lines that we are creating are comparatively darker. So just beside her neck and this beside her face, we are going to make two section a little bit more darker with more lines, and for the remaining section, we'll be keeping it comparatively lighter. But try to create a gradient from darker seeds to a bit lighter, say. For the strengths of the hair to get a clear distinction between them, you can increase the line weight. I won't be doing it for all the section of the strands of hair, but for only some of the sections, I'll be increasing the line weight a little bit. For the others, I'll be keeping it plain and simple. And for some of the strands of the here, I'll be keeping it plain and simple and won't be adding any seeding or doing any hatching technique for those sections. Like this strand of the here in here, I won't be adding any detailing. We are making some section darker while keeping other sections bit lighter. For her forehead, the hair on her forehead, doing a little bit of seeding, the same kind of sading that we did for the pens small sding lines in here like this. Increasing the volume of line in here for her forehead. More lines on the other side, adding it just beside her eyes like this. In here, just beside her face to create a clear separation in between her face and the remaining portion of her hair, add more lines to make it comparatively darker. Thus by doing this, we are increasing the contrast between her face and the remaining portion of her hair. As you can see, just by adding more lines and increasing the contrast between her face and the hair, her face looks more clear and bit more contrasting. The same kind of hatching and sading like this in here, layers and layers and rows and rows of hatching lines like this. Once again, I have increased the speed for the remaining section of her hair. This beside her body, increase the sading and hatching to make it comparatively darker to sew the shadows cast by her bodies making those section of her hair a little bit darker. O few smaller projections like this for some of the section of our strands of here. Now, for some of the sections in here for her clothing, I'm going to do a little bit of sading like this to sew a little bit of shadows cast it by some of the patterns and decorations that is present in here. This is optional if you want to keep it lighter, you don't have to do this. Simple design like this in here for her necklace, flower like pattern making this section of her neck bit darker. Smaller finer entities like this put some of the sections of our clothing in here. Using the kind of broken lines to do the outlining for some of the sections like this. Now to create a clear separation in between her clothing and the tail, using small hatching lines to do the seeding like this in this manner. And in between the garlands, we are going to make this region bit darker so small seeding so small hatching lines in between the garlands. Tiny strokes with a fine line and feeling it in between the flowers like this. To make it more darkened, you can also use the cross hatching technique. Small hatching lines in between the flowers for the remaining sections. When you are adding the small hatching lines between the leaves, seeing the direction of the hatching lines so as not to confuse it with the leaves. And I'll only be covering up to here for this section of the project, and I'll be seeing you in the third part. 10. Rough Pencil Sketch : Welcome to Ecos beneath the star. This is our second project. Let's start with a simple guidelines. For the upper half of the mermid's body, we'll be following the same guideline, starting with straight line and we'll be dividing into four equal sections for the upper part. And in here for the lower half, I made it a little bit curve towards the left. You are free to change the direction of the mermaid tail. Now we are going to further divide into four equal sections. This mermaid will be piecing towards the right, so only a side view of a piece will be visible. For this mermid, I am going to create smaller here, start with the circular C for the freeze. Now, since our piece is shifted towards the right, accordingly, I separate the middle line, the excess line in here. If you want you can make the piece a little bit larger, bit longer or bit thicker too. For her neck, just one third of the ports in the second division in here. As for her torso and the chest, in here, I'm going to create somewhat of conical curved sea. This will be her chest and the torso. We are going to increase her thickness a little bit, but this will be the back view of her and this will be the front. For this marmot, one of her hand will be lying on the other side. Only one hand will be visible. A rough outlining like this for the mermaid's tail. This is just a outlining. If required, we'll be making changes in adjustment. Instead of this, if you want to increase the side of the mermaid tails and make it a little bit curved like this, night like curve. In here for this section, this will be her hand. Somewhat of large cylindrical seep like this for her hand. Um The length of the cylindrical see for her upper part of the hand will be up to here, up to her waist. If you want to change the direction and position or placement of the hands, you can do that. Moving to her face in here, I'm going to create this kind of elf like here for the mermaid. If you want to create flowing here, you can do that too. But in here, I'll be creating salter here. This is going to be our rough outlining in here. Let's make it a little bit more detail. This section, the chest and the torso. Okay. Use the same sketch that you created earlier and just define it a little bit more. In here, this will be her arm. It's towards the right, so a little bit sifted like this. You can change the placement of the arm too. Right now, it's looking a little bit chaotic, but when we'll be doing the outlining and redefining the sketch a little bit more, it will become more clear a bit more distinct moving to her face. Since the face is towards the right, only the side profile will be visible like this. Curve shape like this for the nose and the mouth. In here, I'll be creating large eyes for the mermaid. I've divided this project into three sections. This is the first section and I'll only be covering up to here. And I'll be seeing you in the next section where we'll be doing the outlining. 11. Echoes Beneath the Stars : Welcome to the second part. In here, we are going to do the outlining for some of the features. We have not defined her tail through purlin or her waist and the chest. But for now, I'm just starting with outlining her face and a little bit of her hair, and then accordingly, we'll be making a little bit of change and defining her torso and chased a little bit more. In here, as you can see, I shifted the face a little bit towards the right. You don't have to follow the exact outlines that you have created. Elf large ear for our mermid. Instead of this kind of ear, you can create humanoid ear too. Coloring this region black. In here, I decided to create multiple earrings. You can create other variations, designs or patterns for the earrings, or you can just keep it plain and simple. Creating the outlining for the hair. This is going to be the hair line for her head. Let's create her eyes. I separate the eyes a little bit towards the right accordingly, since we separate her nose and mouth a little bit. I'm going to create large eyes that is looking towards the right, only the side view of the eye will be visible like this. For the other eyes in here, only a small portion like this will be visible. Adding the pupils and Iris for the inside. A small section of the eyebrows on the other side is visible too. For here in here, I'm going to create lots of larger and smaller flower and flower garland. Instead of flowers, you can add other accessories or create other patterns and designs for her hair, or you don't have to even add the flowers or accessories, you can create plain and simple hair for the mermid. I'll be creating only two or three simple flowers like this and for the outlining regions of the flowers, I'll be adding few smaller lamsF the larger flowers, I'll be adding a little bit more detailing, small hatching lines coming out from the center. For the remaining sections in here, I'll be creating this kind of detailing using this kind of small scallops. We are going to fill the entire section with this kind of small scallops as well as hatching lines if required. Filling the remaining section like this inside like this. Just below here too, we are going to create something similar with variations of flowers and petals. A few additional layers of scallops for the upper section like this. Now, as I was mentioning, few leaves like this. If you want to do the coloring for the flower, using the colored ballpoint pen or the fine liner, you can do that too. Now in here, just below here, we are going to create the same kind of flower and same kind of pattern. If you want to make it a little bit different, you can do that too. After doing this, just below it, we'll be using lots of hatching line and then do a little bit of seeding for the remaining portion of her here, followed by two more layer of scallop, the same kind of scallops that we used for the upper section. We're now continuing on with creating small flowers like this and connecting them and connecting the flower with each other using this scallops and creating this kind of chain like appearance. Adding additional layer of scallops in between the leaves for the upper section. Now as for a hair, I'm just going to use curved lines like this set of curved lines and put some of the section where we meant to make it bit darker. We'll be increasing the line wet as well as increase the line density by adding more lines like this. Now in between the leaves and the flowers, I'm going to create this curve lines to create the resemblance for the hair in here below her ear and beside her need, a little bit of hair like this. Make this region bit darker by doing a little bit of shading. We'll coming back to the here later on. We now creating the outlining for the neck on this side. In here, I'm going to create a small necklace around her neck. You can create di pattern on design, or you can just follow the seams of pattern and designing that we did with the flowers and the leave. I'm going to create very simple designs like this in here, set of scallops and this kind elliptical seat to create the necklace around her neck. Now, this is going to be the outlining for her arm, the left arm. This arm will be visible only up to her elbow since this lies on the other side of her body, doing the outlining for her back. This section, I made it a little bit more curved, try to make it a bit straighter. This section. Now, the middle of her back. Adding the curve like this. Now, for this arm in here, we'll have to shift it a little bit. Accordingly, shifting the arm a little bit towards the right. Just follow along the outlines that you have created for her arm and shift it a little bit towards the right. If you are not that confident, you can erase the pencil sketch and redo it by shifting the arm a little bit and go over it. For her arm in here, I'm going to create this kind of sleeve. Adding this kind of accessories for the upper section of her arm. If you want to add more characteristics to your mermid figure, feel free to add your kind of designs and patterns to it. You don't have to create or follow exactly what I'm doing in here. Add your own personal touches to it by creating your own patterns and designs in here. This kind of simple design accessory in here for her arm. Now, in here, pour here for the back. In here, I'm going to create simple pattern like this for her clothing. Moving back to the left arm in here. For this arm to only a small section of the accessories on her arm will be visible accordingly, creating the same accessories in here, curves for the top. Now, another set of circular seed in here, extending it a little bit, and this is going to be her elbow. Beyond this, I'll be creating the mermaid tail. The rest of her arm on this side won't be visible doing the outlining for the chest in here. Now, adding the clothing in here. Using the scallops to create simple pattern like this on top. Simple pattern and designing in here. If you want to do the seeding or do the coloring using the black, you can do that. Filling the entire region with numerous scallops like this. Now continuing on with this arm, standing the sides a little bit. This is going to be a the remaining section of our arm in here, I'm going to create a set of three bangles. Instead of the bangle, if you want to create other accessories, you can do that too, or you can keep it plain and simple without any accessories or any bangles. Simple curved seat like this, put the bangles. I'm creating very simple and plain bangles. Instead of it, if you want to add more characteristics or pattern or designs to it, you can do that too. Now, let's create simple palm and fingers for her. In here for this, I did not dit anything on her hand. If you want to add anything on her hand or something you she is holding, you can do that. Since this mermaid look a little bit stoic and a bit warrior like, you can add a staff or a trident on her hand. For her mermaid tail in here, I'm going to create simple pattern and designing in this section. I'll be using a lot of curve line for this section, and for the outlining in here, we are going to create this kind of simple designing using set of elliptical shape, smaller elliptical shape like this. For the middle region in here, another set of simple elliptical shape. On both sides, I'm going to fill it completely with the curved lines. You don't have to create the same kind of pattern or design. You can change it, add add more characters to it. You can convert into more scallops, feel free to experiment on your own and add your own personal touches to it. Doing another set of outlining in here for this region using this kind of broken lines. Final outlining in here using set of scallops like this, doing the outlining in this met with two set of scallop. After doing this, we are going to create a different kind of pin or you can see clothing material in here, somewhat similar to clothing material. The fin that I'm going to create in here will be. I'm not able to properly communicate it, but when I'll be creating it, you will get the rough idea, and you also have the final image that I have provided in the project section. You can download it from there and use it at reference. In here for the back, I added more pattern and designing like this, creating this kind of eye shape for the clothing in here on top of our Mermaid style. Now for the fin that I'm going to create that will look somewhat similar to the clothing material. Just create this kind of simple line, a little bit of parallel lines like this. And as we are moving, I'm increasing the sizes of the lines. We are going to add a little bit of curves to it, the same kind of curve that the clothing materials have like skirts and the gowns. Extending the mermaid tail on this side. In here, it's not visible, but I just extended the remaining portion of the mermaid tail. We're going to add this kind of curved shape to it. Scree this kind of somewhat of conical curved shape for the lines that we have created. Instead of it, if you want to just keep it plain and simple, you can just create the mermaids day without any films or this kind of clothing materials. Try to avoid doing the mistake that I did. In here, I did a little bit of mistake. I overlapped one line on top of the other for the largest section. In here on this side, I changed the direction but created the same curve like this. For the sections, we are going to do lots of sading using simple sading lines. Just below it. I'm going to create a few more layer, but for now, let me show you how I'll be doing the seeding, the same simple seeding using the hatching lines like this. I to sew a little bit of folds in different section, increase the line weight for some of the sections. For the insides in here, I'm going to completely fill it with the black like this, and I'll be creating a little bit of outlining or you can see boundary using the scallops like this. For all the sections, do the same thing, filling the insides with the black, and for the remaining section scallops and a little bit of white sees like this. Adding the scallops and the designing like this. For the larger one, I'll be adding the scallops on both the side. For the smaller one, I'll only be adding it for the one side. Adding the black for the inside. Since this is quite larger, I'm going to make it cooperatively darker. Just rows and rows of hatching lines to completely fill it with the black. Now, let's do the seeding. Simple seeding using the hatching lines. Just flick your arm to get this kind of seeding effect. We are making the bottom secon comparatively darker. We're going to repeat the same thing on this side. On this side, comparatively larger section is visible. So I'll be doing the seeding on both the top and the bottom. Right now, I've created simple patterns in designing. Now I'm going to feel the remaining section. For this one in here, I made a little bit of mistake. So let's cover it a little bit with bit of designing and black using the mystic line that I created and transforming into fold like this and now covering it with hatching lines like this, doing the seating, simple sating like this. And in here for this section, as I was mentioning, since a larger portion is visible, we are going to do the sading on both top and the bottom like this. For this section, I'll only be covering up to here, the clothing materials and a little bit more detailing or outlining for the mermaids trail. And then in the next section, we'll be adding scales, creating ground and adding final touches for the mermaids here. Biding the folds into different sections like this and now adding more seating lines like this. For the remaining section, we are going to do the same thing, adding this seating for the entire section. Make the middle section comparatively lighter. Now on this section, I made a little bit of mistakes, so I'm going to cover it with the scallops later on. But for the remaining section, I'll be adding a few more layers of the clothing material on the wins like structure that I have created for the upper section. You are free to add any kind of curve chip to the mermaid tails. You can make it larger, smaller, more curved. Feel free to add your own pshon touches and create the mermittail in your own way. In here, I'm going to create this kind of mermaid tail end like this. I'll be dividing into two sections. Now, going back with the file to go over the pencil outlining. Just increased a little bit like this. For the bottom section, we have got thinner mermittail and for the upper section, we have got comparatively thicker. Creating this kind of elliptical shape to large elliptical shape, you can create other kind of mermaid pens and tails. For the entire section, I'm going to use simple hatching lines, curved hatching lines, doing a secondary outlining likeness with the curved lines. Simple curve lines like this to do the outlining. I see that the ink has dried up properly and lightly release the pencil marks. Right now in here for the upper section, I'm going to add a little bit more detailing and extend the here side a little bit. Then for the back in here, I'm going to add another layer of the clothing on top. As for the fins and the remaining section in here, I'm going to add three more layers of it just below it. For the mermaid tails, I'm going to add multiple larger and smaller scallops. Oh extending the side of the mermaid's clothe in here a little bit. Simple as scallops like this for the designing. Making this region a bit darker with more hatching lines like this. And I'll only be covering up to here in this section of the project. I'll be seeing you in the next section. H 12. Scales and Scallops: Two welcome to the third and final part of the echos beneath the star continuing on where we left off. In here, I'm going to create three more additional layers like this. As I'm moving, I'm decreasing the size a little bit. If you want to create few more layers, you can do that too. The mistake that I ended in here, I'll be covering it with scales later on. Creating the same simple pattern and designing, scale up on the edges like this, then we'll be doing the seeding and for the insides, we are going to fill it with black. Creating secondary outlining like this. Now dividing into few section. For this region extending it a little bit like this, filling the insides with the black. Now, let's do the seating for the remaining section. Outlining for the insides and now filling it with the black. In this section, after completing this, we'll have to create the background, add more detail for her here, create lots of scallops for the scales of the mermaid tail, and for the two fins of the mermid tail, we are going to use lots of curve lines. As for the background, I'm going to create four pointed distrs and large bubble, large moall bubbles. These we are done with this section. Now in here for the fins, I'm going to create lots of curved lines following the seat. I'm going to make both the ends comparatively darker since all the lines will be concented in there. Now doing the same thing on the other side. Simple curved lines like this. Instead of this, if you want to create other variations for the pens, you can do it. You can do the seeding, you can use rows and rows of hatching lines. You can also use a little bit of cross hatching. You can use stippling and you can also use the scribbling to make it bit darker and do the sading using that. Now making the ends quite darker by doing a little bit of seeding. Doing the same thing for the upper section, a bit of seeding. Making the outline a little bit more darker, increasing the line weight a little bit. Since for this print, I only using a single fine liner. Instead of it, if you want to make some of the section a little bit more darker, you can use other supplies, you can use sketch pen on the fine liner or the breastpan darker lines or a bit more line densitty that will make it a little bit more interesting and make the outlines a bit more crisp and a bit more bolder. And continuing on with filling the remaining section with more curved lines like this. With these we are done with the curved lines. Now, let's do the simple sading. Moving on to the bottom, more seeding like this. With these we are mostly done with both the fins. If you want to still add a little bit of texture or detail into it, you can add multiple smaller scallops in between the hatching lines. You can also do a little bit of coloring using a red, blue or green color and do another layer on top of the fence. Now let's create multiple scallops in here for the main part of the mermaid tail. To make this process bit simpler, I'm starting with a pencil sketch. Following the curve sip in here and create multiple lines like this, try to maintain the distance in between the lines. And as we move towards the end, decrease the distance a little bit. A few more lines like this. Dividing into more sections, so a little bit of cross hatching like this. And the polygonal shapes that we have created for the insides, for those ships, we'll be creating the scalums multiple large and small scalums change the direction of the lines a little bit along the curve of the mermid tail. Changing the direction a little bit like this to follow the perspective, the curved shape of the mermt tail. Now, I'll be using this as the guideline and create this kind of angled scallops, rows and rows of angle scallops. I'll be doing two layering like this for the scallops and then for each individual scallops, I'll be doing a little bit of siding later on. In here for the upper section, I created bit smaller scallop. But as we progress, I'll be increasing the size a little bit. The middle region will have larger sides of the scallops and then once again, for the bottom region, we have bit smaller scallops. You don't have to create the same kind of scallops. You can create other variations of the scallops. You can make it carved, you can create uses scallops or you can create a combination of scallops. This is a little bit time consuming process. I'm also making a little bit of changes. I'm not strictly following the guidelines. As you can see in here for this middle digi I'm increasing the sides of the scallops a little bit. Instead of creating a single scallops or a single polygonal s and using two boxes to create a single scallops. O now as I'll progress, I'll be decreasing the side a little bit. For the upper section, I did the outlining for both sides for the insides of the scallops. But in here, as you can see, I'm only doing the outlining for one section. I'm doing this to add a little bit more interest and a little bit more variation to the scallops. If you want to keep it uniform and consistent, you can do the outlining for both the sides. We are halfway there with the scallops. As for her hair, just below the flowers, I'll be using hatching lines and add a small portion of the he and then I'll be encircling it another small garland of flower. I'm going to create a smaller here for her. And instead of it, if you want to create large blowing here, you can do that too. Continuing on to the scallop. In here, I have to decrease the size of the scallops a little bit and I'm making it quite thinner. As we progress, I'll be decreasing the number of the scallops for each row, I'll be creating two or three and for the bottom section or at the end, I'll be creating only two or one. Here, if you want to make it a little bit more smaller, the size of the scallops, you can do that. And with these, we are mostly done with the scallops. If you want to do a little bit more outlining, you can do that, too. Now, ensure that the ink has dried up properly and lightly erase the pencil mark. For the insides, we are going to do a little bit of sading for the bottom section of each individual scallops like this, Sading on one side. Particularly, I'll be doing the seeding on the side in which I created the outlining. For some of the scallops, I only created the outlining for one side. So for those section, I'll have to be wet causes and do the sading on only that side. But for the rest of them, I can do the sading on either side. Go. Instead of doing the seeding like this for the inside of each individual scallop, if you want to create pattern or other kind of designing for the inside of each individual scallops, you can do that, too. You can also create multiple mini scallops for the insides of the larger scallops. I would recommend you to add your own personal touches to the scallops and come up with your own unique patterns and designing for the scallops or for the insides of the scallop And one more thing that you can do is you can use the colored paint. You can use red, blue. You can use the red, blue or green colour to add a little bit of more interest to the scallops. Continuing on with doing the seeding for each individual scallops in the same manner. This is a little bit time consuming process since we have got lots of scallops and we'll have to create small hatching lines. We'll have to be a bit cautious not to overlay the hatching lines on top of the outlines that we have created. After this, we only have to do her hair and her background. I'll be creating four codint stars and use a little bit of broken lines surrounding the stars, and I'll be creating multiple bubbles. If this whole project is in real time, the earlier project, the first project was a little bit of speed up. Some of the sections were speed up. But for this project, the whole video is in real time. You can always follow along with me. In here, I did the mistake in the beginning, so I'm going to cover it with a hatching lines like this in this manner. Continuing on the hatching line and doing the seeding for the remaining scallops in here. We have got six or seven more rows of scallops. Even after doing the sading with the black, you can still add more colors to it. I would recommend you to use blue or red to do another layer of sading for the upper section of each individual scallops to add a little bit more interest in the mermaid. You can use the same color blue or red for the prints of the mermaid too. You can do the coloring for the mermaid here a little bit with the red, and you can use blue coloring for her clothing. That will make it more vibrant and more colorful. Continuing on with the remaining scallop. We have got four more rows of the scallop. And finally, moving to the last row, doing the seeding. And with these, we are done with all the scallop for the mermaid tail. If you are not satisfied with some of the section, you can increase the intensity of the seeding a little bit. Now, moving on to the mermaid here, small hatching lines in here, extending the side of the mermaid hair a little bit. I'll be doing two rows of hatching like this in this manner. Oh. It is going to be the final dope, the hatching for the mermaids hair. If you want to increase the sides a little bit or create flowing hair or other hair design, you can do that too, making the ends a little bit darker with smaller hatching lines like this. Making the lower region in here more darker, comparatively darker. Now I'm going to use small scallops or you can see small elliptical see to create garland surrounding her hair. Simple small seeds like this encircling the hair like this, the hatching lines that we created for her hair. Bing it for the bottom section too. Now, one more layer of the same kind of shape like this. If you want, you can also incorporate few flower in between it and a few leaves. You can also include C sails or starfish or or few other C elements or C creates. With these, we are done with a mermaid here. With these we are done with the main illustration. I'm going to create the background. This is optional, you can create any kind of background as you see fit. In here, I'm going to create multiple stars like this and then multiple small and large bubbles. And adding it in here too, just below her hand like this. You can add as many stars as you want, but don't just oversaturate it. A little bit of more detailing for each individual star in the form of this kind of simple lines for each corner, adding the lines like this. This is optional if you want to keep it clean and simple, you don't have to do this. Oh Now, let's create bubbles. Simple seeps like this, simple oval seeps. Simple oval seeps and a little bit of distorted oval seeps like this for the bubbles. For the insides of some of the bubbles, I'll be adding a little bit more detail in the form of curved lines and a little bit more smaller seal and a few more small bubbles inside it. Distorted oval seeps like this for the bubble and a little bit of detailing for the insides. Apart from the larger saps, I'll also be creating smaller bubbles and smaller stars adding in here for the bottom section. I'm moving onto this side. Creating smaller stars. Very small star, five pointed star like this. If you're satisfied with your project, you don't have to create this. In here, this region was bit empty, so I decided to add few stars in here. Smaller star in between it. One more star in here. And with these, we are done with this project echoes beneath the star. I hope you enjoyed painting this. This was quite fun and a little bit different. I'll be seeing you in the next and the final project of this class. After that, we'll have a bonus one. 13. Oceans Graceful Bloom : Welcome to Ocean's Graceful Bloom. For this project, I was not able to record the beginning, but you have got the rough idea how I did it. I followed the same guidelines that I showed you in the demonstration video. Started with this kind of simple Sep a street line and curve seep for the mermaid tails. Then I divided into four section for the upper section, I created hand. For the head, I sept it the upper line a little bit. Then on both the sides, I created simple outlines like this for her hand. One of her hand lies behind her body. So only a small section will be visible. The other hand lies in the front. So this is the simple outlines that I created. And after doing this, I added a little bit of volume to it and defined it a little bit. So you can pause the video and just create this kind of simple outlining for our mermaid. Now let's do the outlining going in with the sakura micron fine liner, and we are going to do the outlining for her head first. I'll be creating the same kind of eyes, nose in the mouth for the mermaid. In here, I'll be grating very large and flowing here for this mermaid. So we'll be using lots of curved line. Simple and large oval seep like this for the mermaid's eye. As for the nose and a very small curved sap like this for the mouth, a little bit defined lips for this mermaid, increasing the line weight for the eyes, adding tiny eyes like this. Adding the pupils and iris for the inside. Let's make it a little bit darker, filling the insides with the black like this. Adding the eyebrows and with these, we are done with the fecal feature for our mermaid. Flowing here of the mermid. Creating the ear elf like ear. For the here in here, I'll be creating this kind of simple accessories. Apart from this, I'll also be adding few flour, two or three flour. You can create other variations or other kind of accessories for her hair. Or instead of it, you can keep it plain and simple without any accessories or any flower. Simple pattern and designing like this, a little bit of seeding for the upper section using small hatching lines. Few flowers at the top like this, simple flower. One more flour in here, but smaller one, adding a few more petals for it. Continuing on with the remaining section of her hair. We are going to use lots of curve lines in here. And for the reasons besides her peas and nick we'll be making it comparatively darker by adding more curved lines there. Small beads like this in here for the accessories. In either if you want, you can create a small projection for her other ear. Little tour of outlining for her hair using this kind of curved lines to give her hair a little bit of flowing appearance. For her neck in here, I'll be creating a very simple necklace. Simple oval saves like this for the necklace. One more pearl in here, and with this, we are done with a simple necklace. Instead of this, if you want to create other kind of variation or other designs for Na necklace, feel free to do that. A bit more detailing for her eyes. For her arm in here at the top, adding another accessories, detached sleeve in here. Once again, I would recommend you to create your own pattern and designs in here to add your own personal touches to the painting. Simple pattern like this in here. And for the top, making it a little bit curvy and adding more hatching lines, curved hatching lines like this. So this is going to be the simple accessories that I created in here for this arm. Doing the outlining for the upper section of our clone. A bit more defined back in here. Go over the outline for the other arm, the same kind of pattern. It will be a bit different since it's facing in other direction. Same pattern and same designing in here for this arm. Now for her clothing in here, another outlining like this, same kind of outlining with curve line. Mostly for the clothing in here, I'll only be using rows and rows of hatching line for the inside, and for the outlining, I'll be using scallops and create simple curve lines or simple patterns like this. The same kind of pattern I'll be creating for the bottom section. In here. In between it, if you want to create a bit more designing or pattern or embedded gems, you can do that, too. I kept it simple with elliptical shapes like this. Extending the clothing in here for the remaining section. Once again, using the curved lines in here. Another set of curved lines. Simple scallops like this. And on both the sides in here, I'm just going to fill it completely with the hatching lines, rows and rows of hatching lines to make it comparatively darker. Instead of it, if you want to create any pattern or designing, you can do that. I'll be coming back to it later on for now for now, doing the outlining for the clothes in the front. Simple pattern and designing like this. The remaining portion of her torso, the stomach, the front part of her stomach, continuing on with the hand. I'm going to create very simple hand in here. I won't be adding any accessories or bangles if you want to add accessories or bangles or if you want to hold something on your hand, you can add those. Simple open hand like this. The pencil sketch that I have created in here is not that defined, so I'm going to make a bit of changes to it to make it a bit more defined. So simple open hand like this. Continuing on with the remaining portion on this side. This is going to be her elbow of the other arm. And in here for the mermaid tails, we are going to decorate it with butterflies and lots of frills. Frock like frills, I'll be creating multiple ones. To make this process a little bit simpler, you can always use the image that I provided in the project section and accordingly create this kind of simple seeps, starting with the butterfly like seep for the mermaid tail. Now I'm going to create multiple layers of the frills like pattern, clothing pattern in here and beside the mermaids tail on both the sides. We are going to create simple structures like this, and we'll be doing simple seeding and hatching in this manner for the upper and the bottom section. Numerous simple saps like this. Instead of this, if you want to keep it simple, you can only create the Mermid style. You don't have to add this or if you want to make it a little bit more interesting, you can also include other kind of fins or you can just transform this into different kind of larger fins alongside the mermid tail. I'll be wearing the seeps in the sizes a little bit, but I'll be trying to keep the composition or the seep somewhat similar for all the additional elements that I'm creating in here. Just simple rows and rows of seeps like this. Then we'll be doing the outlining for it, another set of outlining. And for the insides, we'll be creating folding and we'll do both sading and hatching for both upper and the lower section. Doing the outlining for the mermaid tails on the other side. I have also divided this project into two sections. This is the first section. Continuing on with the remaining section. Let's do enough outlining for the mermaid tail in here, and then on top of it, we'll be creating multiple elements, the same kind of elements that I created, simple seeps like this. You don't have to worry about it. The outlining that you did for the mermaid tails since we'll be covering it with lots of hatching lines. Mary the seeps in the sizes a little bit. Extending it on the other side and overlaying it on top of the mermid tail like this. A few larger one in here. For the other side, I'll be creating a bit smaller one and just below the mermit tails, I'll be creating few larger ones. It's not visible in here, but I'm just simply going over the outline of the mermid tail that I have created. Now we are going to create bit larger ones like this, comparatively larger but thinner ones. As I move up, I'm decreasing the size a little bit. So these are the numeral fin like structures that I have created. This will be similar to the frills that are present in the clothing, adding few more. If you're satisfied with the numbers, you don't have to add more. The remaining section of the mermaid tails. Standing it on the other side. Simple outlining. The width a little bit and creating a large fin at the end of the mermid tails like this, comparatively larger fin. Give it a little bit of flowing appearance with this kind of outlining. Now going back to the mermaids here. Let's continue where we laptop. We are going to create multiple curved lines in here for the mermaids here. The goal in is to give it a little bit of flowing appearance and add a lot of volume to it. By volume, I mean, to make it look bit denser. I'm going to create multiple strengths of her hair and then I'm going to add multiple curve lines inside and beside it in this manner. Just follow along with me and create this kind of curve for the flowing here. You don't have to worry about it. Just create multiple flowing strengths of her hair and then just add multiple curved lines following that c. If you want to keep it bit simpler, you can just reduce the side of her hair. Just follow along with me and create this kind of curve C for the flowing hair. This is going to take a little bit of time since we are going to make it lot denser. If you want to do a little bit of coloring, you can also use other color red, green or blue colour. I'll be adding the hair just below her hands a little bit, and on the other side, I'll be just making it comparatively thinner. This is going to be the last strand of her hair on this side. Create a few more additional flowing strands. Creating a few more additional flowing strengths on the upper part. Now for the insides, just add multiple curved lines in this manner and then add few more smaller curve lines following those saps. And this beside her body, her arm, and her stomach, we're going to increase the line density a little bit and increase the number of lines to make those section a little bit darker to sew the shadows cast it why her body is making those section comparatively darker. Like what we did for the region this beside her face and neck, we added lots of line there to make that region comparatively darker. Just add multiple lines wherever you think it's necessary or for the regions where there are less lines. Just don't oversaturate it with more lines. And if you want to do a little bit of seating for certain region, you can do the seating too. I'll be keeping some regions a little bit lighter like this region in here, so I won't be adding that many lines in that region. A few more lines for the upper part. You can increase the line weight of some of the sections to make it a little bit distinct or to sew a clear separation and distinction in between different strengths of our here. In here for the fence like a structure that I have created, we are going to do the second outlining like this and then use this kind of sading. Just flick your arm to get this kind of lighter sading effect. Make the ends comparatively darker and the other section quite lighter. For the smaller fins like structure in here, I'm not creating the folds, but for the larger ones, I'll be creating folds, and then I'll be adding the sading. Also, I'm not created the hair on the other side. After doing this, we'll be moving back to the hair on the other side. Creating few folds like this for the bottom section like this with lines of a little bit more volume. We're going to do the same thing for the remaining section, a bit of sading in this manner, a little bit of sading in this manner, as well as creating folds using a bit darker sades of the line. This process is going to take a little bit of time since we have created a lot of structures like this. And for each individual's structure, we'll have to do the outlining, create folds, and do the sading. For the butterfly that I have created, adding a little bit more detailing, making the outlines a little bit darker, creating antennas in here for the butterfly, a little bit of sading in here. And for this region to, making this region quite darker. For the larger fin like structures that I have created, a bit of more sading for the bottom section. So for both the top and the bottom section, we'll have to do the sading For the smaller ones, do a little bit of smaller hatching lines to do the sadingF the larger one, increase the sizes a little bit. Also keep in mind, we are keeping the middle section a little bit lighter, so don't add that much lines in there. Now doing it from the bottom. For this section of the project, I'll only be covering up to here. And in the next ston we'll be creating the scales for the mermaid tail and also doing the mermaid fin. The bottom section of the Mermaid fin, we'll be creating her here on the other side as well as sparegrowd the whole video g in real time, so you can always follow along with me. Continuing on with it, two or three folds for the lower section and then simple hatching lines like this to do the seating, click your arm to get a bit lighter seeds. For the starting point, apply a little bit of heavy place it to get a bit darker lines. Doing it for the last one in here, creating a bit larger folds in here with more line weight. More sding in here for the bottom section. I decided to create a few more in here just beside the mermaid tails. I'm not overlaying this one on the top of the mermid fin, but if you want to do that, you can do that, doing the same thing, creating folds and doing the seeding. Now, for the remaining ones in here for the upper part, repeat the same thing for the remaining fin structure that we have created. For the smaller ones, you won't be able to do the seating. Just create small hatching lines for those sections, or you can keep it plain and simple for the smaller ones and don't add any hatching line for one of the side. In here for the upper part, we have go one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, eight more. I'll only be doing the same thing for the remaining ones. For the ones that are present just below the Mermaid tail, I'll be doing it in the next part of this project. Adding it in here. I'm also going to cover the outlines of the mermet tail that I created with a little bit of darker lines. And we'll have to do the same thing for the remaining ones. Let's create the outlining in here as well as a little bit of folds. And then in the next section, we'll be doing the same thing, doing the sading using the hatching lines for the ones. Making some of the folds a little bit larger like this. Folds that I'm creating in here is a little bit different from the folds that we created for the upper part with a little bit more line weight. So I'll only be covering up to here in this section. I'll be seeing you in the next section of this project. 14. Mermaids Tail: Welcome to the second part of the Ocean's graceful blue continuing on where we left top. We are going to do the sading for all these sections in here. Starting with the upper part, simple sading using the hatching line, flick your arm in this manner to get a bit lighter seed. We're going to keep the middle section quite lighter, but both the top and the bottom section will be comparatively darker. Now moving on to the larger one in here, increase the sides a little bit. After doing this, we'll have to create the scales for the mermid. So we'll be using the scallops to create the scales for the mermidt and then I'll also be adding a little bit more detailing. Then I'll also be moving back to the mermaids here. On the left side, we'll be increasing the volume a little bit there. And after that, we'll have to create the background, which is optional. Small hatching lines in here for the smaller sections and doing the seeding for the bottom parts like this. For the smaller regions where you can't do the seeding, you can just create simple small hatching lines there. Adding it for the last one in here. If you want to add few more, you can also do that. And with this, we are done with all the elements in here. I decided to create a few more in here. I'll also have to do two more that I forgot to do just beside the butterfly that I created. Now for the clothing in here, as I was mentioning, I'm going to completely cover it with the hatching lines, rows and rows of hatching lines, broken hatching lines in this manner. Doing the same thing on the other side. Rows and rows of hatching lines like this, broken hatching lines. On the side, too, simple, small hatching lines like this. Simple, small hatching lines like this. Now, let's make it a little bit darker, adding a few more lines, overlaying it on top of it. This is another layer in here to make it comparatively darker. Doing the same thing in here, two or three more rows of small hatching lines to make this region comparatively darker. Now, I forgot to do the outlining and adding detailing for this one. And with these, we are done with the clothing and this kind of fin like structure that we have created. Moving on to the mermaid tail in here, I have already divided into different section with the curved horizontal lines now, adding another set of lines in here and I'll be following the guidelines to create multiple scallops. I'll be creating varieties of the scallops. I'll be using simple Up scallop but I'll be wearing the size a little bit. Another set of lines to make it a little bit more easier to create the scallops later on. You don't have to create the same kind of scallops that I'm going to create. You can create other variations of the scallop. For the scallops, the UCP scallops that I'm creating in here, I'm using two outlines like this. I'm not going to strictly follow the guidelines that I have created. I'll only be using it as a reference and as required, I'll be changing the sieves and the sizes a little bit. Like in here, increase the size a little bit. So as I move, I'll be increasing the sizes as well as decreasing the thickness. You don't have to strictly follow what I'm doing. Feel free to make it uniform, add more detailing, more texture to it, change sieves and direction. These are the larger ones that I mentioned. You don't have to make this this much larger. Apart from it, if you want to add a little bit of detailing or do the sading for the inside of the scallops, you can do that, too. You can also add more scalps for the inside. So smaller scallops inside the larger ones. This is going to be the largest one in here. Continuing on with the remaining section. At the end, we are going to do a lot of seeding. I'll be dividing into different sections and then I'll be doing the same kind of seeding that I did for the upper part. We'll be making it comparatively darker. But for the entire section, we are going to do the seeding. The upper and the lower part will be comparatively darker, while the middle section will be a bit lighter. Adding a few lines in here to cover this one. We are halfway there, continuing on with the remaining portion. Now I'm going to change the direction a little bit for the scallops that I'm creating. I'm going to shift it a little bit towards the right, following the curved sip of the mermaids steel and shifting it towards the right. Some of the scallops that I'm creating will look quite large, so I decided to add some smaller ones for the insides. Now continue on with the lower section. Simple scallops with two outlinings like this. Now, we just have to create seven or eight more rows of the scallops, then we'll be done with this section. The whole process is in real time, so you can always follow along with me. Only the first video has some of the section that will speed up, but for the other two, but for the other two projects, the second and the third one, the whole video is in real time. And with this, we are done with the scallops in here. I'll be covering the bottom section of those scallops with the seeding later on. And in here for some of the larger scallops that I have created, I decided to add few small nerves for the insights like this. And with this, we are done with the scale creation with the scallops with the mermaid tail. Let's divide into different sections and then we'll be doing the sading. I'm using broken lines in here like this to divide it into different sections. If you want to divide it using a bit darker lines with more line weight, you can do that, but that won't be that much visible and it won't be able to create a clear separation and distinction. So that's why I decided to use this kind of simple white lines in between the sading region. Simply dividing in this manner, the curve save, following the curve save to divide it. For the entire section, we are going to do the seating. I'm also going to cover the bottom section of the scales that we have created with lighter seating. Simple sading like this, you'll have to create bit larger lines, and we are going to make the end region comparatively darker. Adding it for the upper part too. We're just going to keep the middle section quite lighter, but the remaining section, the upper and the bottom part will be darker. We'll have to do the seeding in two layers. This is the first layer with quite smaller ones. And after doing this, I'm going to add another layer on top of it with a bit larger size. Oh Now let's do the second layer with extended side, large strokes with the pen, and covering the entire section with it. This process is going to take a little bit of time since we are making it a little bit lighter from dark to light and we'll have to create larger strokes. So we patent and feel the entire section in this manner. In here for this region, the outline is not that clear, so we are going to cover it completely with the black, the bottom section. Whereas in this section, the outline is clear, make the bottom section darker and the remaining section lighter. Let's do the seeding for the end of the mermaid tail and then we'll be continuing on with the remaining section. Moving back in here and extending the sides, doing the second layering for the seeding. Instead of doing seating in this manner, you can do the hatching lines, or you can also use the rows and rows of hatching lines to do the seating. You can also use cross hatching to make this region comparatively darker. Apart from that, you can also include a steeping typed nike or a scribbling technique. Making this region more darker with more lines. Let's make the con part more darker. I'm also changing the directions of the seeding a little bit, follow the curve shape of the fin and then do the seeding in that manner. Another layer of hatching lines in here to make this region bit darker. Doing the same thing in here, another layer. Oh You can use this sting technique to make the distinction between separate parts more clear and more distinct. Now with this, we are done with the three sections. We have four more sections to do. This process is bit time consuming continuing on with the seating for the remaining section. After doing this, the remaining things is comparatively easy. We'll have to only create the here. Mostly we'll be using flowing lines to create the here. We don't have to create that much separated strands for her here. Simple curved lines will do their work, and then we'll be using curved shape to create floating bubbles, large and small ones, as well as a little bit distorted sieves to create more bubbles, and then we have four corner starts that we'll be creating. Now, making this region more darker with more lines in here. I also added more lines for the bottom section of the scales. Now, doing the seeding from the opposite side. Adding the seeding lines for the metal region. For the middle section, apply light presser and cover the entire section with the lighter side of the lack, making the ends more darker. You'll just have to set the angle a little bit to get lighter sand. And with this, we are done with all the sections, different sections in here. Now moving back to the mermaid here in here, adding more black in here, put this region in between her hand and her body, completely filling it with the hatching lines. Let's do the remaining portion of our hair. I did the outlining like this. So I'll be covering this entire section with the curved lines. Apart from this, we are also going to create few smaller strands of hair flowing here like this. The water current is flowing from right to left. So the flowing strands of hair will be forcing towards the left, adding more curved lines following the sip of the strengths, the larger strends that we have created. And with this, we are done with it. Is that the ink has dried and lightly raising the pencil masks. I erased it a bit more detailing for the ear. Now final detailing for her eyes, making the outlines more darker and more pronounced. Lightly raising the pencil marks in here for the mermaid tails. And with these, we are done with the Ocean's graceful gloom. I decided to extend the side of the here a little bit. So another layer of curved lines in here for the bottom part of our here on this side. Adding few more strands of hair here on the upper section too. Now, this is optional and additional. I'm going to create background. You can create background of any kind using any patterns and designing or you can keep it plain and simple. Simple oval and distorted oval seeps like this to create the bubbles. You can also use the spiral seeps to create the bubbles and also creating four pointed stars like this. Now adding it on this side. I'm not going to cover the entire section with it. I'll only be adding for the top left cornon and on this side in here only. Don't oversaturate it. Adding this kind of small detail beside the corner stars with simple lines like this. Few more bubbles in here. A few more stars on the side, too. And yeah, I'm satisfied with the number of the stars and the bubbles. Don't oversaturate it. And yeah, with this at with the Ocean's graceful blow. I hope you enjoyed painting this. We did a lot of seeding and a lot of hatching for this one. And this mermaid has got the largest here for all the projects that we have created so far. And I'll be thinking in the next project, the bonus one, happy painting. 15. Bonus Sketching : Welcome to the bonus project C d serend. Let's start with a simple guideline for the mermaid. In here, the mermid that I'm going to create will be facing towards the left and we are going to create this bit curved set for her tail. You are free to change the set side and direction of the mermaid tails. You can also change the angle of the upper part of the mermaid's body. I'm going to shift her head a little bit, shifting it like this, dividing it into four equal sections. Now we are going to create oval and conical s for the mermaids face. For this mermit in the background, I'm going to create large leaf like seaweeds. And apart from this, I'll also be using other paints to make the outlines a little bit darker. And the here for this mermit will be a little bit different, bit larger here with lots of seeding. In here, creating this kind of rectangular sap in here for the upper section of her body and this kind of conical sap for the remaining section. Also changing the angle of her body a little bit to give it a little bit of more three dimensional form. On one of her hand will be in the front. So this hand, the right hand will be in the front, and on the left hand, she will be holding three petals flour or seaweed. Earlier, my plan was to keep the hands simple without anything. But later on, I added three petals seaweed or you can consider it to be flour or you can add any other thing. M giving it a little bit of mose, the upper section of her body, the chest. We are going to create folded hand in here just beside her neck. Here, if you want to change the direction of her hand or the movement, feel free to do that. I'll be creating arnal plate like top for this marmoid. This is going to be the rough sketch for the upper section of her body. Plain and simple hand like this, open hand. For this mermaid, I'll be creating three sets of the fin. The first set of the fin will be for the upper section of the mermaid tails then for the middle section, I'll be creating two seats and then for the lower section, we'll have set another set of two fin. Then we'll have one more set at the bottom, followed by the largest fin at the bottom. Curve cheap like this for the mermaid tail. Outlining her soljer. On this side, if you want to make anything, you can add it. In here, as I was mentioning, I'll be creating simple seaweed that she'll be holding elf like here for the mermaid. P her here in here, I'll be creating too simple flour and Album going to create large flowing here. It will be occupying a large section on this side, the right. This project is a little bit larger, so I'm divided into four sections. This is the first section in which I'll only be covering the pencil outlining and sketching. And in the next section, we'll be doing the outline. Let's make the fece a little bit more detail and create the guideline for her eyes, nose, and the mouth. A bit curve shape in here. I'll be using this to create the eye socket for the mermaid since her face is shifted a little bit towards the left. So accordingly, I septate the eyes a little bit, and I'll only be covering up to here in this section, and I'll be seeing you in the next part of this project. 16. Seaweed Serenade : Welcome to the second part of the Seaweed serenade. Let's continue on where we left off. And here the feces that we created a little bit confusing. Erasing the pencil marks and then we'll be using the Sakura micron file liner to do the outlining. I did not erase it completely. I left a little bit of the pencil g. So I'll be using it as the difference and doing the outlining. And if required, I'll be making a little bit of changes to the piece features, creating in for the mermaid for the other side in here. I'm going to create flowing here, so I'm going to create flowing here like this to curve shape like this. This is going to be the mermaids ear, creating small projections like this for the mermaid's eyebrow. Small set for the nose and curve seep like this for the mermaids lips. Eating large eyes for the mermaid. The eyes on the left side won't be visible completely. Increasing the line weight a little bit for the corner section of the eyes, creating tiny elases, creating tiny eyelasF the pupils and the Iris for the inside. Simple osape like this, filling the insides with black while leaving a little bit of white space for the highlight. I decided to fill it entirely with the black and later on if required, we'll be using a little bit of sakura microno to create a bit of highlights for our Mermaid eyes. This tiny dot like this to add the highlight for the mermaid's eye. It's not working that I'll have to wait a little bit and apply another layer white pona continuing on with the remaining portion of her body. In here for the neck, I'm going to create very simple necklace. If you want to create other kind of pattern designing or other kind of accessories around her neck, you can do that. You can make the necklace simple too, creating a simple pearl necklace around her neck or you can just completely avoid it without any necklace or any accessories for her neck. Now, put the soldier in here. Once again, I would like to remind you that you don't have to strictly follow the outlines you have created, use it only as the reference and make changes and adjustments as you see fit. I'm going to create simple accessories in here for her arm curve shapes like this to create simple pattern inside. The whole video is in real time, so you can always follow along with me. Now for the remaining section of R in here at the bottom, in here, I'll be creating set of two bangles. This is optional. Let's do the outlining for her fingers in here. Creating the last finger, the thumb will be visible on this side. Two simple bangles will court seeps like this. One more bangle in here. You can decrease the numbers of the bangles. You can change the bangles into other accessories around her arm or you can just keep it plain and simple without any bangles or any accessories. For this end, starting with her elbow, outlining the elbow. In here, too, we are going to create the same bangles and same set of accessories for the upper section of her arm. In here, I made a little bit of mistake. I increase the line we on this side of the arm a little bit. I'll be trying to cover it later on when I'll be creating her clothing. Simple clothes palm like this. Seaweed. In here, I'll be creating three seaweeds. The same kind of accessories on this arm cube. Curves it to create simple pattern inside. Now for the clothing in here, I'm going to make a top somewhat similar to the armor plate. For now, just follow along with me and do the outlining. And I'm going to create this kind of repetitive pattern like this for the entire section. This concentric half circle like this for the entire section to give it a little bit of armor plate like look. We're also going to do a little bit of seeding on the sides and a little bit for the middle section too. In here for the top, I'm just doing simple hatching lines to make this region bit darker using simple scallops like C for the upper part. Now for the remaining portion in here, I'm going to just extend it a little bit. I'm just going to extend it and cover the entire section, the entire portion of our stomach. Set of curve lines like this. And using the curve lines to make the middle section comparatively darker, you can create other variations, other pattern or designed for her clothing. I'm going to make some of the section a little bit darker by adding a few additional lines in between the smaller and the larger ones. With these, we are done with her top. In here creating three petals seaweed or you can consider it to be three petals flour or simply holding three petals. This is optional. Since I'm overlaying it at top of the earlier outlines, I'll have to increase the line density a little bit so that the earlier layers won't be that much distracting. Increasing the line weight of the top a little bit. One more layer in here now. Just below her elbow on this side, I'm going to create her tail. Simple circular sieves like this to sew the accessories around her waist. Heart, like seep and curved sheep like this. Small circular bead like chin wrapped around her waist. Extending the side a little bit more and making it a little bit more detailed. In here, I'm going to create three or four simple small fins. Before doing that, let's do the outlining. Creating this kind of curved shape to do the outlining for the fins in here for the upper section of her tail. I'll be creating three or four if you want to increase or decrease the fins, you can do that. You can also play with the same in the sines or you can keep it plain and simple without any fins or accessories. One more in here in the front. For all the pens that I have created, I did two layers of outlining. Now for the mermaid tails, give it a little bit of organic look, I'm using two lines and making some of the sections a little bit broken. Using this bit broken lines to do the outlining for the mermaid tail. Here's another set of fins, two set of pin on the side, one in the front and one at the back, outlining the front of the mermid tail. In here, apart from creating her tails in the fence, I'll also be creating her here and doing the seeding for it. This is the second part of this project. In here, I'm going to create large fins, large flowing fins and we'll be using curved lines to follow the seeps of this pens that we have created and entire section with it. Creating a larger fin in here. Large flowing seeps like this for the fin at the back. Here we'll be using two sets of line to do the outlining, extending the smaller pin in here. Most of the section of this pin is covered by this larger one. Now for her ear, a bit of detailing for the insides, flowing strand of here just above her ear, simple flowers on her hair. I'm going to create two or three simple flowers like this. Instead of this, if you want, you can include other accessories, something related to CGH that will be interesting. A bit detailed flower like this. We're going to create her here. This is going to be the partisan between the left and the right side of her here. Making this region bit darker with lots of hatching lines and doing a little bit of sading On this side, on the left side, only a small section of her he will be visible for the top and few strands of floating here. Most of her he will be concentrated on the right side. Screen this simple guidelines for her here on this side and make it a little bit darker using lots of curved hatching lines and a little bit of sading if required. These are going to be the flowing strands of her hair, curved sees like this with the flowing strands of mermaid hair. Making this section a little bit darker by doing the seeding, increasing the line weight for the outline of the hair on top of her head. Let's create a rough outlining for her hair. I'm going to create numerous strengths of hair, comparatively thicker strengths of here and we'll be completely peeling with sading and curved hatching lines or down cret rougher outlining like this with numerous strengths of here. Doing a seeding in here, the region just beside her neck and below her ear and a little bit just above it, we are going to make this region bit darker by doing the seeding to sow the sadocast by the face, the neck and the ear has made this section comparatively darker. For the middle regions in here, we are going to create a few more additional strengths. And for the entire section, we are going to fill it with the curve hatching lines and to make a clear spreon between different strengths of the here, we'll be increasing the line weight a little bit and accordingly doing the hatching, following the different curve shapes of the strengths of here we have created. This is going to be a bit time consuming process since we are going to create numerous different strengths of her with different directions of flow. So be patient and just follow along with me. And for some of the section, especially for the curve part and to sew a bit of clear separation between different strengths of arraar, I'll be doing the seeding in this manner. Adding rows and rows of hatching lines to make those section bit darker. You start with a bit farther apart lines and then for the inside region, be more curved lines like then. You can also do the seeding a little bit like this. Can use the same sding technique that we used for our earlier video by clicking your arm and getting two different seeds of the sketches, starting with a darker and turning it into a bit lighter seed. Creating numerous thicker strands of hair for the inner region. This beside her body, what we did earlier with her face, neck, and ear, we are going to do the same thing in here making those sections a bit darker so that the cinder casted by her body has turned this region a little bit darker. We are going to do the sading in this manner rows and rows of hatching lines and doing the sading like this. As you can see, I made this region bit darker by adding more lines and doing more hatching with the carb line. For some of the section, I'll be doing the same thing, doing two or three layers of the hatching lines, do the sating or just make it a bit more darker. Just extend the hair by flicking your arm to get this kind of sating effect. And we are going to extend it by doing rows and rows of hatching lines, one layer on top of the other like what I showed you in the demonstration video. This is going to be one of the floating strengths of here for the top section, completely filling with the hatching lines and doing a little bit of sading for some of the sections of this strand of here. We are going to repeat the same thing for the remaining strands of here, first filling it with curved lines and then increasing the intensity of the lines a little bit by increasing the number of the hatching lines and to create a clear separon between different strengths of here, we are going to do a little bit of sading. I'll spsial doing the sading for the tip of the strands of here like this. Me seating and curve lines like this. Making this region comparatively darker. Now moving in here for the lower section, more hatching lines, more seeding and creating this kind of bit different sides of the color, different sides of this fine line, and by using this clicking your arm method to get this kind of various tones of the black For the second part of this project, seaweed senate. I'm only going to cover our hair in this section. In the next section, we are going to create scallops, do a little bit of detailing for the background, create seaweed in the background, use scallops scaling. In here for this region, we have changed the direction of our hair, making this strand of the hair that lies beneath it comparatively darker. Increasing the line density in here and filling the remaining section with more curved hatching lines. For the smaller section, use rows and rows of hatching lines otherwise create this kind of larger curved lines. Continuing on with this upper section. So we have only got this larger or thicker strands of here, and then we'll be moving on to the remaining portion of our here. Doing a little bit of sading in here to make this region darker. Now for the last streak of hair on the strand of hair in here, filling it entirely with the hair like texture, rows and rows of hatching lines like this. I'm also doing a little bit of shading for the curve regions to add a little bit more volume for those regions, the curved sections. Adding the hatching lines for this region. Add more lines to more seeding where think it's required. We are going to create this kind of here for our mermaid. In here, I'm making the outlines for this strand of here and this curved section a bit darker. I used more ink in here to make this darker. We have got four or five more strands of hires in here. We are going to repeat the same thing. In here for the strengths of here, I'm going to make that tip of the strands of hair comparatively darker. We are going to add more black on those regions, and it will naturally become quite darker since all the lines will be ending there, so the intensity of the black will be decreased a little bit there. But in here, apart from this, I'm going to intentionally make that region more darker. What I did in here, I'll be doing the seeding and hatching to make the tip and the side region a little bit darker, comparatively darker like this. The smaller region just two rows in the rows of patching line. Otherwise, for the larger areas, just follow the seep with curved lines. Filling the remaining portion of this strand of hair, making this region darker by doing more sating just below it. And for the final strand of here, just repeating the same thing. Rows and rows of hatching line to feel the entire section, we are going to make the tip and a little bit of outline regions bit more darker by adding more sating effect there. Simple curved lines like this for the entire section of our he And I'll only be covering up to here in the second part of the seaweed serenade, and I'll be seeing you in the third part of the sweet hue. 17. Numerous Fins: Welcome to the third part of the project seaweed see in it, continuing on where we left off. We have completed the outlining as well as did the sading for the entire section of our hair, lightly erase the pencil mask, ensure that the ink has dried up properly. Since we did a lot of sading for those regions, ensure that it has dried up completely. Otherwise, the ink might get smrged adding another layer of white for the eyes of the mermaid to make the highlights a little bit more lighter. It's not working properly in here. I'll have to wait a little bit, I think. I'll be coming back to her eyes later on. For this section, we are going to create numerous scales for the entire section of the mermaid tail, and then for three or four different kinds of prints we have created, we're going to cover it entirely with the hatching lines or seeding lines. In here for the top, as I was mentioning, giving it a little bit of almond like look by doing the seeding using these kind of small curved hatching lines. This is optimal. You can keep it plain and simple without seeding. Now for the different kind of fins that I have created in here, I'll be using this to create different kind of pattern and designs for the inside. Instead of this, if you want, you can create or fill it with curved lines or use the hatching lines, or you can just fill it with the scallops and create a little bit of scales. Or you can just follow along with me and create this kind of random and different kind of pattern for each individual fins that we have in here. In here for this section, I'm using this kind of cross hatching lines with two outlines. This is the largest of all the four that we have created in here. Now, for this one, I'm just going to use parallel curved lines like this for the entire section. In here, discriminating symbol small lines like this. For the remaining two, I'll be adding the detailing later on. But in here, I decided to use the pencil to create a guideline that I can use to create multiple smaller scallops using this kind of simple lines to do a cross hatching and then using those cross hatching lines to create the scallops. I'm just going to create simple US scalars for the entire section with two outlining. Instead of it, if you want to create other variations pattern or scales for the insides, you can do that. Continuing on with creating more lines. We're going to do the cross hatching. When we'll be adding the scallops for the inside, I'll be making a little bit of changes to the outlines that we have created in here. The cross etching reference we have created, is not that curve or does not follow the curve shape of her tail. But for the scallops that we'll be creating, we'll have to adjust it and follow the curved shape of her tail and add those scallop in that manner. Continuing on with the remaining portion in here for the bottom part of her tail. With these, we are done with the pencil sketching. Now for each individual sections that we have created, I'm going to use it as the reference and create, and I'm going to create scallops for the entire section. Start with the simple usps for the scallops, layers and layers of the scallops, and then we'll be doing another set of outlining for the scallops. You don't have to create the same kind of scallops, PLP to create other variations or other kind of scallops. You can create pointed scallops. You can create broken scallops or you can use a combination so the scallops can also do larger and smaller scallops alongside. You have got lots of options to choose from. Experiment on your own and add your own personal touches to it. Continuing on with it. And as you can see, for the side region of her tail, I'm changing the direction a little bit following the curt shape of her tail. This is yet one of those time consuming processes. We patient and peel the entire section with multiple scallops. I'm keeping the the sins of the scallops somewhat uniform. If you want to vary it a little bit, you can do that, too. For the fins that I have created in here, the two smaller and curved fins, I'll only be using the curved lines for the entire section in here. After creating the scallops, I'll be coming back to it and the other fins that we have created. In this section of the project, the third part, I won't be creating any background. I won't be creating any elements for the background. I'll only be covering the mermaid tails and the fins. Then in the following part, the fourth and the final one, I'm going to create the background using large and smaller distorted seams for the bubbles, and I'm going to create three or four large seaweed plants, simple leaves for the seaweed plants. In here, I change the direction a little bit just beside the fin, and in here, too, once again, I am changing the direction a little bit. We have got on a small section for the scallops, decreasing the numbers of the scallops a little bit, once again, increasing a bit, the number of the scallops. And with these plea done with the first layer of the scallops creation with single outlining. Now for the fin in here, doing another set of outlining like this, following the seed. As I was mentioning, I'm just going to use this kind of curved sap and following the sap, I'm going to cover the entire pin in here. You don't have to follow what I'm doing in here. You want to create other variations, patents or designs, or if you want to include the scallops in here, you can do that, too. Can also do a little bit of sading like what we did for her here. But in here, I'm going to keep it uniform and consistent with the simple curved lines. And with this, we are done with a fin in the front, repeating the same thing for the second fin. This rows and rows of hatching line like this for the entire section of the fin. And with this, we are done with these two fins, creating another outline which I forgot. For this smaller fin in here, just using simple hatching lines to make it comparatively darker. Now for the two larger fins in here, I'm just going to follow the curve sheep and completely fill and completely fill it with these kind of curved hatching lines. Once again, if you want to add more variations pattern or designing to this section, you can do that, or you can just follow along with me and fill it with the curve lines. In set that the ink has properly dried up and lightly erase the pencil marks. The guidelines that we created with the pencil marks, the cross hatching lines for the entire section, the bottom part, doing the same thing, filling it with the curve lines. Try to maintain the distance in between the lines, keeping this piecing consistent. Now for the larger fence in here at the bottom, we are going to do another set of outlining and then for some of the dividing sections, I'm going to use hatching line for the other section. We are just going to fill it entirely with the curved lines. Simple outlining, secondary outlining like this for these lines that I have created in here, giving it a little bit of volume by creating another outlining like this. Now for the last one, for the insights of the outlining regions, I'm just completely going to fill it with the hatching lines. Simple hatching lines like this. The spacing in between the hatching lines in here are quite small, so the whole region looks comparatively darker. And with this, we are done with the second one, adding it for the third one. Also making this region, the connection between the tail and the fin are bit darker, simple hatching lines like this. As you can see, I have changed the direction of the hatching lines for each individual strengths that I have created in here. For all the outlined region, I changed the direction a little bit. I was not able to record a small section, but you know what I did just filling the entire section with the curved lines. For the remaining portion in here, I'm going to do the same thing, falling the curved shapes like this and filling the entire section with it. Completely filling this region too. Now extending the lines like this and filling the remaining portion, the other half. In here, since we have a little bit of different shape in here, accordingly, creating this kind of curve line for the inside region, the inner region. And now for the remaining section, once again, following the curve and feeling the remaining and filling the remaining portion with it. And with this, we're done with the bottom section, once again, coming back to the eyes and adding the iris and making it a bit lighter. It's still not working, so I'll have to apply another layer of the black like this and then once again, add white on top of it when this dries off I added the white earlier when it was not dried up. That's why it's not worked out. You can just keep it like this, eyes like this. I believe it has dried up, so adding a little bit of detailing with a white ailpin like this, simple circular see for the highlights. And I'm going to only cover up to here for this section of the project. You can keep the mermid like this without any background element. And with these, we are done with the full body illustration of the mermid I'll be seeing you in the next section with a little bit more detailing for the backgrounds. 18. Seaweed and Bubble : O. Welcome to the fourth in the final section of the seaweed see in it. We have completed a Mermaid full body illustration. Now we are going to create simple background. Port this one in here, I'm using toombosbrsman, since it has a little bit more darker lines. Oosing it to create this kind bit organic see for the leaves, seaweeds in the background. Instead of this, if you want to create other variations or other seep or kinds seaweed or grass you can do that too. Or you can just follow along with me and create this kind of curved and flowing organic sees like this. Three on this side and three on the other side. So this is going to be the larger one in this side. A bit smaller one in here beside her fin and one more in here that lies behind the fin. Let's do the secondary outlining in here. Now, adding the mid rips for the inside, dividing into two sections, and doing a secondary outlining following the curve sweep like this. You don't have to switch the paint in here. I just wanted to create a clear separation event the background and the mermit. That's why I use this brusse paint since it has a bit darker tone, since it has a bit darker tone and more line density. Dividing the leaves into two sections and creating secondary outlining like this. Now for the last leaf in here, Now, a little bit more detailing, creating mid drips like structure. So further dividing into different sections. And then we are going to add more lines, simple small hatching lines for each individual sections. But now just divide all the leaves into more sections, creating this kind of mid drips like structure for the seaweeds that we have in here. I'm just skipping it a little bit farther apart. If you want to make it more closer, you can do that, too. I forgot to add the detailing for the scallops in here for the scales of the mermaid. So we are going to do the secondary outlining for each individual scallops. Increasing the line density a little bit for the end region and making it a little bit thicker for the middle region, for each individual scallops. This is apnal if you're satisfied with your mermaid tails and the scallops that you have created, you don't have to do this. Or you can make it a little bit more distinct and bit more different. Use the other supplies that you have. In my case, I would have used the Tombos bras paint to make the different section of the scallops a little bit different. Thus creating a little bit more contrasting effect for the mermaid's tail. So if you want to include other supplies, you can do that. You can also use the colored paints that will make it more interesting. This is a little bit of repetitive process, so this is going to take a bit of time since we have got numerous scallops and we are doing the same thing for all the scallops. After doing this, I'll be moving back to the background. I'll be creating numerous bubbles. I'll be using oval seams and distorted oval seams for the bubbles. And then for the leaves that we have created seaweed leaves, I'll be using small hatching lines. And apart from that, if you want to add more elements for the background, you can do that. Try to make the individual scallops a little bit uniform and consistent throughout. So we have got only a small section continuing on with the outlining. We are all the way there a bit more detailing for some of the remaining scallops in here for the bottom part. In here for this two fins, you can make the outlines a bit more darker. For this section, this in here, I decided to make it a little bit more detailing, creating this kind of inverted creating this kind of inverted three figure like this. And with these, we are done with the Marvet tail. Instead of this, if you want to create other variations pattern design, you can do that. For each individual lines, I am going to repeat the same thing, adding the hatching lines up opposite direction on both the sides. Now, we going to the other side in here on this side, we have got two. And with this, we are done with the first one. We have got five more. Still, if you want to increase the numbers, you can do that. You can use the rust paints and create few more lines to make it a little bit more denser and increase the volume a little bit. In here, these are a little bit smaller ones, so it's quite easy to do this. Creating additional one in here. Now moving on to the right side. And with these, we are done with this one, two more to go, moving on to the larger one. In here for this one, we have got one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, 19. And with these, we are done with this side moving onto the other side. Three more to go. Let's create one more. The last one. Nodding it for the last lead. Simple small hatching lines like this. These are a little bit smaller ones. And with this we are done with all the leaves. Finally, moving on to creating distorted saves like this, distorted oval saves like this, for the bubbles. For the insights to, I'll be adding a little bit of detailing, more detailing. F now just create numerous sees similar to this. For the outer section, I'll be decreasing the numbers, but for the middle section and the lower section, I'll be increasing the number a little bit. I'm not going to oversaturate it with it. And in between the leaves, I'm going to add fewer ones. One more in here, just below the mermaid tail. Now, a little bit of detail with more curved lines and more curved seeds for the insides of the distorted bubbles. If you want to include star like seeds that we have used for other projects, you can do that, too. You can also increase the numbers of the leaves. If you want, you can create smaller sins or few other types of smaller leaves. And with these, we are done with the bubbles. Once again, going back to the ice, I was not satisfied with the ice. I'm not satisfied with the ice. That's why I'm going back and forth with the ice. Hi, right now, I'm using ail pin since I can easily overlay it on top of the white and using it to give the white a little bit more seem making the outlines a bit more distinct and bolder. Create a clear separation between the petals and hersola making the eyebrows a little bit darker and doing the same for upper part of her hair. I forgot to add it in this section, hatching lines, adding it in here too. And with this wee turn with the final and bonus project C weeds in it, I hope you enjoyed painting this, and I'll be seeing you in the last video. 19. Class Conclusion : Congratulations on completing enchanting Mermaid in ink, a three day line art challenge. I hope you enjoyed creating the glowing and detailed mermaid illustrations and learn new techniques along the way, from hatching and ding to line control, texture and mermaid construction. Over the course of this challenge, we completed a glance from Nadi Ocean's graceful bloom, echos Beneath the star, and the bonus project Seaweed serenade. I also hope the practice set and the basic exercises help you feel more confident with ink illustration and line art challenges. If you have not already, don't forget to upload your project and practice seats in the project gallery. I'd love to see your beautiful mermaids and creative details you added to them. If you enjoyed it, feel free to leave a review and follow me for more classes on ink illustration, watercolor, and oil pastel. Keep practicing, keep experimenting, and I'll be seeing you in my next class. Happy painting.
