I had some requests to see the progression on this one. Luckily I made a few scans as I went.
As usual, I start with a rough. As you can see I changed the hair in the final.
After transferring to the colored paper, the first step I took this time was to "ink" the line work with a brush. The black areas are actual ink, the rest of the lines are acrylic.
Then I built up the shading with acrylic washes.
And lastly I hit it with a transparent later of concentrated watercolor. That stuff can be really bright, I toned it down a lot on this one. I used a little gouache as well for the highlights and white areas.
Simultaneous to all that I like to make a color study, It's basically a guinea pig for the real thing.

I once tried to inmate your coloring style, only in a computer
It was pretty close, but I don't think a computer program could actually mimic your water color work
And I don't have your talent, and patience for the little details...to make as good a work as you do
Keep it up
Love every piece of art you make
Even thou I still don’t understand why would a mermaid have feet under her fish tail
Espetacular! Parabéns!
Muito legal o passo a passo, amigão!
