Summary: Dip pen mermaid
Content Notes:This Mermaid was drawn using a dip pen, and Diamine's Upon A Star Chameleon shimmer ink.
The Chameleon inks are really hard for me to photograph, they're sparkly, but very tiny sparkles,
and on a rainy day like today there's no sunlight.
 
My phone light does bring them out, but without bringing out a real camera it's probably a lost cause, and I would rather just get it posted. If you look at the close up of the tail you can see that it's got quite a sheen going on, and also I did manage to capture a tiny tiny sparkle. There's more there, really, but I just can't get it to show. Click on the images to embiggen.

Summary: A mermaid offers a deal
Content Notes: [personal profile] rdm caught me as I was going out to MerMay and reminded me of a short story he'd written a while back, and suggested it as a prompt for today's drawing. You can read it and see if I caught the mood. Drawn with a water brush and three fountain pens. The rashy is done with Memory Lane, which is a shimmer, also seen Golden Lapis and Azure Kingfisher, and for the skin tone it's Robert Oster Terra Fuego I think.

Summary: Green mermaid with a secret
Content Notes: The ink isn't quite Appletini - it's what you get if you can't be bothered cleaning out the dregs of the Pelikan Malachite and fill the cartridge with Appletini. The pen is a Pelikan Twist, always fun and a super comfortable draw.
 
This merlady seems like she'd rather be somewhere else. What's that she's got?
 
If you'd like to see the pen you can wander over to aus.social if you like.

I do have a more detailed, less superficial drawing that I'm working on as well as these daily quickies, but that's taking a bit more time.

Blue and sparkly gold dolphin like mer.

Summary: This mer is based
Content Notes: So the Best Wishes Ink from Diamine is both a sheen and a shimmer, I caught some of the sparkle, and you might see a red sheen on this dark green, almost black ink.
This narwhal mer is pleased to meet the deep sea mer. They've had some fights in their past, and all they have to say when asked about the scars was that they survived, and it wasn't all from other narwhal mer.

Summary: speedy striped merperson
Content Notes:
 
Drawn with the same nib you saw yesterday, this time it's Diamine's Spruce. It's scented, so sniff hard and you might get a soapy pine fragrance.
I wouldn't though, it's honestly not that pleasant.
I am very tired due to Eurovision being 3am my time.

Drawn in Diamine Spiced Apple chameleon ink. Which doesn't show up that well but is pretty enough.
