Another satyr. Colored pencil and watercolor on Hahnemuhle Mixed Media Bamboo Paper. The colored area is about 2.5×3.5 inches.

I hadn’t intended to make this mermaid so young looking but that’s just the way things turn out some times.

8×10 inches on Strathmore 400 drawing paper. #ColoredPencil and #Watercolor.
I’m going to call this one done. Overall I like it but of course there are a few issues.
Number one: I screwed up when I taped it and the lower left hand corner is nothing like square.
Number two: the watercolor leaked under the tape and while you can still tell where the border is, it’s nothing like as clear as I would like. This is probably due to using way too much water on paper that’s not made for it.
Number three: The tape pulled up some of the paper. Again probably due to using way too much water on a drawing paper.
Number four: The front legs should be more angular.
I go back and forth on the whole issue of paper. I prefer 300 lb watercolor paper but it’s expensive. On the other hand it’s so hassle free. No taping, no wrinkling, just cut it to size and go.
Just a minor update to better define the “halo” on it’s lower right hand side.
