ehm... ok i'll try, tho i really don't know how, since my version is in italian, and not the ordinary photoshop cs. ok, in my version the tool is shaped like a finger, and you just have to regolate the pressure, then you pass it on the drawn lines to smudge them and blend the colors together. i really don't know how to explain it better than this, sorry

I think I know.
On mine it's the smudge tool.

I love the poses of the tails, and the design of the mermaids - all the folds between the fingers and the fins. The movement of the hair is also very beautiful, it does look like it's moving in water

They are very cool - they look very realistic, if that makes sense

You have just about nailed the exotic look I love in mermaids here!! I think they look fantastic with webbed fingers...especially to the fingertips. The membranes attaching their arms to their upper torsos look just great, too! And, I love the frilly fin that runs down the length of the sides of their tails. These girls are beautiful as well!! I love the pose of the upper center one showing the backside of her tail! I REALLY hope to see more of these aquatic beauties!!!

haha i'm glad you like them i enjoy drawing mermaids, they're easy to draw, also because you don't have to draw legs and think about gravity, but also because you can pretty much put them in every pose you want and they'll still look graceful

Great work! You can try a hard edge brush at a few places to increase the sense of volume even more Amazing anatomy work by the way

Gizmora In reply to leywan [2011-12-31 11:58:10 +0000 UTC]

Well, I still love drawing on paper more than one the computer. And I really try to draw something or finish a drawing I already was working on. This way I make sure I don't waste too much paper
