Ariel, The Little Mermaid (Disney)

A colored version of this sketch.

I woke up this morning (er...afternoon) in a coloring mood, so here is the result. I really should have spent the time on one of my Prole drawings, but Ariel was calling out to me. Plus, I got to play around with water effects.

I love water.

I'm planning on getting back into watercolor within the week by the way. I've taken far too long of a break from it and the urge is back.

wowww this is beautiful. the soft, hazy effect and the bright blue against that muted red is really lovely and atmospheric. i love how this is a totally different approach than your original sketch (shading-wise), you used two different styles and pulled them both off so well! *envies*

Nice love the hairs reflection, and the texture on the fin.

Wow, her hair in this is really nice...floaty, light :heart: Keeps all the feel of the original sketch, but looks softer somehow.

Your coloring always turns out so beautiful... :D What program did you use for this?
:iconmollygrue:
I kept going back and forth between Painter and Photoshop. I like Painter for the brushes and stroke sensitivity, but Photoshop really helps me experiment with interesting colors. I abuse the Curves and Levels features.

You've made Ariel your own. I like the colors and the technique you used to paint this, it has a dream like quality to it.
