Greetings Friends of Steemit!
This is my entry to contest Mermaid Monday Contest week #25 Magic/Halloween! Organized by @nymia.aryn.
For this Sirena drawing in which the theme of the contest is Magic and Halloween, that is why my mermaid with her charming beauty is spreading magical powders and filling magic and spells on Halloween night with her magic wand and his faithful friend Murci the cat, joining the parties. I loved it and had a lot of fun doing this drawing full of color and magic.
¡I hope you like it!
Materials
- 1 white sheet A2
- 2h graphite pencil
- Black ballpoint
- Sharpie Black Marker
- Crayons
- Erase
- Sharpener
Drawing Process
1. Make the sketch with a 2H graphite pencil that does not mark so hard so as not to interfere with the lines you make after the black marker or black pen.
2. I started to make the edges and the details with an extra thin marker, a thin marker and a black ballpoint pen.
3. In this step I begin to give color to the drawing with the pumpkin with the orange crayon, and yellow. The magic powders are made with the technique where I sharpen my crayons and blur with my finger, the colors used were pink, fuchsia and orange, and leaving some sides in white to give that illusion.
4. Here to get the shadow of the skin, I apply violet to the darkest parts, and then skin color all over to get it to look like this. For the tail of the beautiful mermaid apply dark green turquoise green and blue and apple green and for the apple green and light blue fins. and for his friend Murci the cat's tail use purple and blue and the fin in red.
5. To achieve hair I made many very fine lines with my purple and violet crayons. .
6. I finished the drawing by coloring the yellow stars and with a pen without ink I applied white paint to add details and lights to the drawing.

Hi @akarantain, I love your artwork. It was so beautiful until I have to screw it up and down few times to appreciate it. Your mermaid witch was so beautiful and l love the color you have applied as well. It very bright and attract readers attention.
I love the way you explained how you completed your artwork especially some tips on how color.
Now l learnt how to mix the color by using crayon. The results of the magic powder was wonderful. And the mixtures of the color also very nice.
How long you have involved in art? You have a very good technique on art drawing and i learnt a lot from you. Thank you.
Congratulation on your curie vote.
Thank you very much, for your comment, I had a lot of time that I did not draw, but thanks to Steemit and the competitions that they carry out in the community I have returned to do it since it is my biggest passion
@akarantain, From the wonderful drawing, could see that you have a lot of passions in drawing. I need to thank steemit and contest as well, If not i won't be able to learn any new technique from you.
You did a fantastic job here! It's funny how the final drawing changes for me once I know every step you took. So much work! The pink/purple on the body as an outline/reflection, I didn't even notice it until you explained that step.
Honestly you just made me realize how intricate this can be and how so much more work goes into a drawing like this than one would originally think. I'm not much of a drawer but I really appreciate the skill it takes to do it.
Thanks so much for sharing! I think it's a beautiful drawing.
Thanks for appreciating it!
Absolutely! Happy to.
That's such a beautiful drawing. While looking at it, I was thinking that the process of drawing that must have took long haha. Anyway thank you so much for sharing us some tips on how to draw one! Keep it going!
I like how the contest incorporated Halloween. You pulled it off perfectly. I couldn't help but imagining the cat trying to bite the mermaid LOL ( cats & fish?). Very good illustration, you are a detailed one.
Amazing idea! I very like bright colors!
The step by step process is well detailed and the art work is really amazing
You so talented,
Can u borrow some of your talent? Lol
Very imaginative and great illustration @akarantain. Love that richness of details you payed attention to.
Cool... And you also get big upVote... it make me happy :)
I hope it makes you also happy and you make more cool posts :)
Hi from Estonia :)
This is really very nice art. I will resteemed your post.
Its amazing work of art!
Brilliant!
In our country some people have seen a mermaid.
My uncle told me he had already eaten a mermaid when he was still a teenager and he was also dunk at that time.
I don't know if that was true.
Hahah...pretty amazing stories behind mermaid. ...who actually knows its reality or its fiction
Posted using Partiko Android
Nobody knows for sure, just stories.
But stories wouldn't be made if there's no truth to it, maybe.
I don't know. Maybe they exist in other dimension we couldn't grasp.
Hahaha thats true @ronel pretty exciting.....in other word...there is no smoke without fire...
Thanks for the heads up
Posted using Partiko Android
Oh no problem.!
I guess life is exciting here in this world, much more in other world right?
It would be interesting after we die, because we'll be facing another dimension. Would you believe that?
Life after death...hmmm pretty interesting never ever thought of it. In india we assume the sould changes the body...not sure on which....never ever thought of new dimension
Posted using Partiko Android
Oh I see.
There are a lot to learn but we can't learn them all.
In my own point view, its about faith, knowledge and experience I guess.
Other dimension is much more exciting than of this world.
Pretty amazing art work for nowhwre. At my first glance it look like a picture taken from camera but as i move downward then pretty surprised with all the effort pour into it.
My 11 years old drawing queen is very interested in drawing too and she is awe looking at this master piece. How long did it took youbto complete ?? Looking at the beauti ness i belive complete whole day for it.....loved it...steem on👍

I really liked that you used many images for the process. This way you can observe the complexity of your work, and it's impressive. It has a very high level of detail, and you have handled it properly. My favorite part was the magic powders, the way you used the color gave the finish a really charming touch. The black background makes the colors shine a lot. It is a great composition, it deserved to be rewarded. Congratulations. Greetings.
Beautiful mermaid and I love how you applied those orange and pink colors.
Her hair is so pretty. All color scheme is cheerful and makes me smile :) I can't imagine a better place for a mermaid than moon :) This is a cool idea! And I love how you surrounded her with stars.
That pumpkin is cute and look at that little mermaid seal :) Adorable!
Your drawing has such beautiful details and I truly enjoy looking at it.
Mermaid Witch! an original work, I do not know if you took that idea from somewhere else, but I had not seen that combination before, and it's really cool here. You have done a great job with that drawing. Continue with it. Upvote!
Oh, she's absolutely gorgeous. Beautiful drawing skills.
Hello @akarantain very good choice siren ... very caribbean motive.
I call something the attention of your publication. and is that in a few words you tell as a script the scene you drew, it is uncommon to find that in today's draftsmen, in fact many of the great painters wrote a script of the painting they would do, and in some cases had notes of color mixtures, positions of figures, gestures all. just as a musical score but applied to painting.
great choice the black background so that the other colors are absorbed by the background, I love the looseness of the hair and the pearly tonality of the tail of the mermaid, seeing the image I can feel the sound of the stars the fecto of magic, really impressive.
Thank you very much for sharing such a work of art. I hope to see more of your work.
greetings peace and love
I like the way you applied color to your line art. Never been daring enough to do that to my line arts. I'd use 2 colored gel pens but that's it. Good job on rendering the anatomy, it's in proportion.
How you rendered the colors and form of the tail fins are cool too. I do recommend the mermaid facing a little bit towards the camera (side view) just to add a little more appeal as one part of her eye can be revealed and those are parts where people would usually look at when viewing characters from a drawing.
woooow demasiado genial mor! felicidades!
Since I saw this post. I had the desire to come and tell you how delighted I am. I did not have enough RC, but finally I can.
You have an incredible talent. You achieved a combination of elements in one piece. You have the moon, mermaids, witches, beautiful colors. all mixed make up your incredible Mermaid Witch
you have a new fan
hi dear, i feel so honered you made this for my contest! love it! great job!
<3
colores geniales, una imaginación estupenda, muy original, te felicito el paso a paso es lo máximo.
I love your mermaid @akarantain. The colours work so well and it adds a magical touch to the Halloween theme. The mermaid is very sexy too 😍. I would never have thought about using crayons the way you did and the effect is beautiful. They do look like watercolour don't they? I like the mermaid's hair and tail!! And thank you for showing us your process. It is a very good tutorial for us who are learning. Thank you, thank you! :)
I imagine that drawing all the scales of the mermaid's tail took a lot of time and work. I liked that it was a complex, colorful and creative drawing, a witch mermaid ... very ingenious for Halloween
Howdy from Texas akarantain! wow this is a concept I haven't seen before, a Mermaid Witch! lol. and it works though, it is very very good. I love the process you showed us and all the detail work that you did on it, quite amazing and impressive.
I bet you do special artwork for all the major holidays don't you?
That's it!
In this work of art you can see the great effort and dedication, I love things that are done with passion.
This siren is cream, hahaha, all very clean. The stars in the background are something very key in all your work.
Congratulations, good vibes.
