[CR] Mermaid Monday Week 32: Duo-Tone
Hi Steemians,
Below is a drawing of a mermaid I made. The challenge for this contest is to use two colors and be more creative. My idea is of a mermaid princess who is both mysterious and mischievous. She rules a small area in the dark deep sea where no one dared to visit.

contest details of @nymia.aryn. I included the drawing steps below
Drawing Process:
Line Drawing
I decided to use a swing under the sea. I want the mermaid to be fun, playful and mysterious. It is boring down there and I think a swing will keep the mermaid occupied. I initially I want to use pink and orange for my two color choices but I changed my mind because I intend to use brown for the background.Flat Colors
The two color choices I pick are now orange and green. These colors work together and they are bright, perfect for a dark deep sea background. At this stage I can tell where to put the shadows and highlights.Defining Details
The mermaid is wearing an orange top I added some sparkle on the chest area that would look like scales same with the lower part. The eyes are pure bright light to make it appear mysterious and powerful. I went overboard with the tail I know. It was fun creating it and I just kept adding length to the tail. So far I love it.
Thanks for dropping by. Hope you like my entry.
