I have been wanting to do a portrait of my daughter and I for some time, and since I love mythological creatures it was imperative that we decide. What should it be?... I let my daughter choose. This time mermaids and next time fairies. Dad's portrait is going to be of him as a centaur carrying us mermaids in a giant fish bowl on his back we think, but that is not set in stone.
I will start with the magical finished portrait and work backwards. Oh, and I am tagging Slothicorn on this post for the first time, no idea if you guys will appreciate this or not-my apologies if this isnt your cup of tea. I have been on Steemit a little over a month I think, still getting the hang of things! Here is the Mermaid portrait! Havent come up with a title yet, perhaps you guys can help me out? edit: the third one down is the "raw" unedited hand painted finished product. Then I played with the filters, taking and and adding colors. ![artflow_201802281903.png]
Here is the photo I used as inspiration!
Of course I made us look a tad bit more glamorous because, MERMAIDS :)
Here is the first quick sketch.
Now for the fun! DetailsMy daughter screamed when she saw I gave her a baby seal to hold <3
