Little Mermaid Coloured

The Little Mermaid in full colour from my Hairy Tale series.

I based her facial makings off different sea creatures but mainly the Red Lion Fish, then I matched the face markings with the hair colour to help make her look more natural. I wanted her to look quite alien, foreign and not the norm.

Little Mermaid Screen Printed

Here is The Little Mermaid screen printed on blotting paper.

I really like how this came out, and will look just as good as the others in the coloured version.

The markings on her face will look apart of her once she is coloured.

Under the Sea

The next in the series of Hairy Tales is The Little Mermaid by Hans Christian Anderson.


A few weeks ago I already posted her line art so here is the little mermaid with the objects in her hair.

I wanted to look as if her hair is floating underwater, I also liked how my own little version of the sea witch came out. I hope you like it all too :)
