Challenge #36 - MerMay

Draw a mermaid (inspired by #MerMay).

For the rest of the month of May, we will be using the #MerMay prompts list as inspiration for drawing. However, you are not limited by these particular prompts. Feel free to take your mermaid-themed artworks in any direction. You can create a single drawing this month, or as many artworks as you wish.

What exactly is the #MerMay Challenge?
MerMay is an art challenge that happens in May, where artists from all around the world draw mermaids. The name MerMay is a combination of two words – Mermaid, and May. It starts at the beginning of May and lasts until the end of the month. The challenge is to draw a mermaid every day during this time. You can visit the MerMay official website for more on this challenge, including Prompts, Drawing Tips and Tutorials for drawing mermaids.

A round-up post for submissions to this challenge will be done at the end of the month on Monday 31st May, 2021.

Happy Drawing, everyone! :)

Mmh I really want to do a non-Western mermaid for this prompt. I need to research if mermaids or mermaid-adjacent creatures appear in other cultures as well.

I do believe so.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mermaid has pretty good worldwide info to start with.

I am SO EXCITED!

Neat! I too was interested in knowing more about mermaids outside of the ones we're all familiar with.
