My Work in Progress

A sketchblog where I post a few of my scribbles from a variety of works-in-progress, usually from my rather random personal creativity outside of the daily grind. I occasionally, but not always, post the final artwork.

Just a Little Mermaid...


Hmm...maybe I'll give her some fangs, too.

A quick mermaid sketch this evening after I did some more work on one of my fairy tale layouts. She's nice and twisty, I think. Next step -- color. After I finish up the others. :)

Thanks Anonymous 1, 2 & 3! I appreciate your feedback. :)

I'm actually working on a series of mermaid illustrations as part of my portfolio update so I'll be sure to post the info once they're online.

My grand daughter wants me to have this picture done on me as a tattoo. I have a mermaid tat already and Hanah thinks this picture is "so cool grand-pa do it" she also asked if they make ink this color instead of just black and grey. Congrates on your style and skill. -- Chris

Hi Chris and Hanah -- thanks! :)

I don't know about getting this mermaid as a permanent tattoo, though; it's still a very rough sketch and not a finished and cleaned up line drawing...hopefully you have a great tattoo artist who can do a reinterpretation to fix it up a bit. Good luck!
