Mermaid I have drawn this scene probably a hundred times in all kinds of different mediums: ink, acrylics, charcoal, ball-point pen on paper napkins and collage. This is my Xara X version. The psychedelic colours came out pure desperation because I could not get them right. My previous attempt was in black and white which did not work either, so I decided to go all out and this is what I got.
