Geting sick of mermaids yet? 😂 Sat down to do a mermaid sketch session for MerMay. I was surprised to discover that my old sketchbook is now completely full, so I had to break in a new one for these! Guess that means it’s time for a new sketchbook tour soon. For now, I hope you like these ~

Hi Loish. Great work as always! I'm curious about the material you use for your sketches.

Wow!! So gorgeous and flowy!!! (if that’s a word 😂) Can we get more sketch videos? I’ll love to see your process in sketching traditionally. It’s something I want to get better at and your sketches are goals!

Sorry if this has been asked before - how do you take such good photos of your sketchbooks? Do you do any post-processing on them?

Never sick of mermaids! These are beautiful! Also, I love how your style has evolved so much over the past few years. The way you draw characters is so much chunkier and textured. I love it!

Never sick of mermaids. You portray them so well. How do you come up with your mermaid designs and poses. I was thinking about it yesterday but I dont know if you know Loish. But theres a live action little mermaid and Halle bailey is cast as ariel. I actually feel so bad for her though because of the amount of hate she gets because Ariel is originally white and she is black. But I am all here for it. I would like to see a black Ariel I would love to see a dark skin version of Ariel from you. But thank you so much for sharing this with us

Love what the blending stump gives to the sketches, and the selective inking. Beautiful!

The shading!! The dynamic poses! The HAIR! Honestly, the way you've drawn them I can FEEL their weightlessness. It's absolutely amazing. Yay thank you for sharing!

It's a fantasy and they are not real. Come to think of it when was the mermaid invented? Great penmanship, great poses and sketching. I remembered you said exaggerating movements gives art motion.

What sketchbook do you use? ❤️

Loish

thank you! I do have to give some pose credit to adorkastock, she has a good mermaid pack on her patreon page that I loosely based the poses on.

Omagad I love them 💜 make me wanna print these and hang them up on the wall 😊💜

Loish

thanks riley! and I agree, she looks like a lovely ariel and I can't believe there are people who would give someone hate just for being cast in a movie. I can't wait to see this version of the little mermaid when it comes out, and thank you for the suggestion!

Loish

thanks so much! this is something I noticed too, I really enjoy drawing in a more 'chunky' style with more attention to the 3D shapes. my work used to be way more flat by comparison.

Loish

I definitely do a lot of post-processing on them! I took these photos with an iphone 11pro and then modified the levels/colors/etc in photoshop.

Loish

yes! absolutely. I'll be filming my sketching tutorial this week so hopefully that will help!

adorkastock has a great mermaid pack available through her patreon! she also has it in her shop - https://www.deviantart.com/adorkastock/art/Mermaid-Collab-Pack-Free-Preview-866683925

Looking great! i would love to ask if someday you would do a tutorial about lips? Its something i quite struggle a lot!

Loish

that's a good one - maybe i should do a series of shorter ones about various facial features!
