Practicing for #mermay !! I have had this story in my head since I visited the Alhambra many years ago. It’s only occasionally escaped onto paper, but this year the time has finally come! One challenge is that in the Little Mermaid, the main character spends half her time NOT a mermaid. I’m excited to find some creative solutions. #mysteriousbeasts #mermaids #merpeople #littlemermaid #islamicspain #medieval #fantasy #illustration #watercolour #fountainpen #penandink #characterdesign #ocean https://www.instagram.com/p/CrUCj5sKy1s/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Trying some new techniques. There’s some pressure to illustrating the first page in a really nice sketchbook, but better to jump in and get it done. #drawing #penandink #ballpointpen #multicolourballpoint #tachikawamangapen #bicballpointpen #mysteriousbeasts #peopleofpaperblanks #paperblanks #notebook #sketchbook #leuchtturmpenloop https://www.instagram.com/p/CCTaiHCn6jF/?igshid=j5291950hpz4
