AI might be able to capture #artnoveau’s style, but it fails to capture the thoughtful placement of each and every curve. The inking of this hair took about 30 mins but I am happy with each and every strand. #procreate #procreatetimelase #mermaid #alphonsemucha #noAI #sketching #mermay #illustration

Another day, another post preparing for #Mermay. Here is my fun little flapper mermaid.

This is where every #mermaid starts: a rough sketch, and then lots of careful inking. I prefer sketching with a pencil, but with the amount of changes I need to make to these, I’ve opted to use #procreate instead.

Preparing for #Mermay, during which I’ll be illustrating another deck of cards. This one is going to be mermaid themed.
