Step by Step. Mermaid. Digital Art (NOV 2018)

Hi everybody.

Finally I have finished the artwork of mermaid I have been working the last week. I am really excited to show to all of you how was the process to reach the final piece of art. 

This digital art was done using Adobe Photoshop with a "bamboo" wacom tablet.

1 - The first step was made a simple sketch. I made something simple with rough lines. Those who have seen my art previously knows that this proces is very simple, I just use as a reference for the next steps where I am going to focus in color. Here is important to understand the perspective and the focus of canvas. In this sketch the main character is located in the middle of composition. The mermaid is looking down, is probably that someone else is looking her (maybe a sailor?) and she know it.

2 - In this second step I added flat color. I was not worry about tone selection because I am going to fix it later. Something that I had really clear was the gradient tone of background sky. I saw a traditional painting where the artist used a gradient color betwen turquoise to yellow. Here I used one layer for each color (a layer for a hair color, another one for skin color and go on) the sketch layer was at the top.

![1.1.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZ6vwYwLYGJjGH3gzgdQajh9VHdK45ecW1oFCqhEgXwQo/1.1.png)

3 - Here I started to add some shading into each color layer. I was not meticulous in this step, this rough tones help me to build step by step the final piece.

4 - Here began the hard step, I mean, combine all the layer of main character in one layer and blend the colors. Here is necessary have a lot of patience

![2.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmPEk5J7yQ6yCLS5EsWyR6dTUPNv91NM99Dr53xAX83cNm/2.png)

5 - I decided to change the color of mermaid tail. I realized that skin color was orange (a warm color) and red-orange are tones too close, so I decided to change the tail to a cold color like turquoise-blue in that way I can made a contrast betwen the skin color (warm color) and tail color (cold color).

![3.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmTGMQpzo16RURoLywpAo9X1WpGrXsyeKyhmK9D9pUcLRk/3.png)

6 - Patience and more patience. Blend color between shading and lighting.

![4.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQWcNXkRMzXcXSM6Vp5m1spN4YMZjRL2to1aVYsqTeDim/4.png)

7 - I tried to transform the rough lines in soft shape and also, avoiding the black color contour of the sketch: I mean use dark red, dark blue, etc but never Black to 100%. At this point I was really proud about how it was turning out. Soft shapes and cute character.

![5.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVH9W2EHo6U2yGVekqfam2SvECQzyQpjqzJnBzFrCVnH5/5.png)

8 - I added some details on sea. Removed the clouds of background.

![  6.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZM1x56PbH4HUTHu1uWThbnuCd44KXE8GSJAMjmPyztF9/%20%206.png)

9 - More blend color and adjustments.

![ 7.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZYTdzMDU1tCzCU2CFYb7YXGMsoqYep7JLYkgS9ojaC7g/%207.png)

10 - The details makes the difference. Here I add some texture on the wood of ship and also I added texture on the character's tail. Looks great dont you think?

![8.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmRmab2CfW7acCVcnPFytpYw6PAuH4dkxMqU5uuTS3aaRL/8.png)

11 - But something lacked. The movement of hair that give a sensation of sea breeze. Also another adjustment on sea: I added the sea foam. At this point I thought that I was completed but I was not satisfied yet.

![9.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmTdALzNGRxRLHxPxoaYCPppUPpwrUuMEby6PJ36D6DN12/9.png)

12 - Do you remember that i started this painting with a red tail? This color was on my mind and I wanted to make the same version of mermaid but in red. So I did. Would you like more in turquoise or in red? Another version that I made was the mermaid  with open eyes, just to try.

![12.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmRWDP1czN8ASM2efphiHGrGK1cgKKitPzwg55yEagMBWU/12.png)

![mermaid_turquoise_red.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmRvnkB5AdLSTaQsgMs7wof42TJjMU299nDKC9Nu8LhZQq/mermaid_turquoise_red.png)

Well it was the process to completIe the artwork. I hope to make more than this kind of pieces. I feel sometimes that I am not enought fast, and sometimes I consider myselve a little bit slowly as a digital artist, I guess the only way to overcome it is practice and practice.

I leave here the step by step animation, something that I really like to see.

I like the way you made her eyes open at the end of your process shots. Really clever move there. I recently saw another curie upvoted post that also had a mermaid painting done well. Hmmm it must be ocean theme today? :P

Good job on this piece. I'm inviting you to share your work on the @artisteem platform. It's another frontend of the steem blockchain that supports artists. I don't recommend using the #slothicorn tag nowadays. The curations on that community has been inactive.

Thanks @adamada I enjoyed to create the whole post and at the end I thought to add an extra illustration showing mermaid eyes open and winking, it was a good idea :). 

Well, I am not sure about "ocean theme today". Talking about me, I really like the image of mermaid, in fact I have a lot of artwork that main character is a mermaid. Is probably I am going to make another artwork with this topic. You will see :) 

Thanks for your advice, I am going to use to the next post @artisteem 
I apprecciate your feedback!

I find it really cute that you animated her eyes to be opening and closing. I think that's a neat effect. The colours in general are bright and lovely as well.

Amazing artwork! It looks like you are really inspired doing this, yeah? 

I was not expecting the last photo to be gif version. I was startled when it winked!  &#128514;  I think I like the pinkish version better and with the eyes looking down (or were they close?).  What is that she's holding on to? Boat board?

Thank you @macoolette :) Yes, I was really inspired to make this piece, I spend a lot time working on it, but it worth the pain.

Well she is holding on to boat, and it completly sure that someone else is looking her. May be I can increase the canvas of artwork and draw the sailor (Do you like this idea?).

Include the sailor. Hhmmm... I think that will indeed be a good idea. I'm already imagining love story between human and an underwater creature. 👍😊

Beautiful digital art, perfectly reflected everything that we have in our imagination for mermaid, young, beauty with perfect body, beautiful tale of course the color of the tail must be in blue-emerald tones, because of water. Nicely paid attention to values of colors and highlights. Love both version with open and closed eyes, open eyes give another touch, you know how much we can read in eyes, and that can sometimes just play an important role. I am glad you submitted both version, it is like she is blinking :)

Hey, @abrahmatan.

This is very cool. Thank you for walking us through the creative process, including the different takes on color, the eyes, the hair, etc. Creating something is not a point A to point B kind of thing. Usually, there are tangents and maybe even a turning around and going a different route sometimes.

I have to say I'm partial to the greener color of the scales and tail, even though I really like red and orange colors more. Not sure why that is, just that it seems to contrast better with her skin tones. And I really like the idea of her eyes being open, but still having her head bent. She has a demure look to her, like she might be shy, or at least wanting you to believe that. You never know what you're going to get with a mermaid!

Amazing work, and congratulations on the curie. :)

yes my friend! The process of art is not linear, sometimes we have a lot ideas that come out and loose and at the end alive again like this process art. I thought in make the mermaid tail reddish but I decided to change it to turquoise because color harmony betwen skin and tail, but finally when it looked complete I could not resist to make a version in reddish. :)   

Thanks to take time to write me. I am really glad to have feedback like yours. Have a wonderfull day!

Hi @elfranz I am really glad to receive your comment. It is mean a lot to me. About your question, I agree to be featured into Author Showcase, in fact I feel honored to be featured in @curie blog. Thank you so much to consider me. Receive these feedback from you means that I am doing a good job and it inspire me to keep hard working. 

About brief statement, you can include the next words that explain a little bit about myself and my work process:

My name is Abrahma Tansini. I am a Graphic Designer and freelance digital Illustrator with based in Venezuela. As an Illustrator I realized that I improved my drawing skills everytime that I afford an illustration project. The problem was that not all the time I found this kind of projects, so I decided to make a personal project illustrations where I can push myself to get and improve as an artist and these illustrations is going to be part of my personal portfolio. You know famous quote  "if not pain not gain": I mean if you want to improve as an artist you must to draw everyday and keep working as much as you can. About my experience in Steemit comunity I learned to value what important is the art process. As a reflection: The most important is not the final goal (the artwork) but how you get it, how was your art process and how you explain it to everybody. I thankful to @curie that have been supported me in several post, inspiring me to keep working and showing my work to steem comunity.
