Color
the Drawing
In a new layer color in your
mermaid with a brush,
filling in only the most basic
colors.
Color
Shades
Create yet another layer
to add basic shading, using
dark and light tones of each
color to create shadow and
reflection.
Background
Color
Hide the top layer to
remove the final outline,
leaving only the colors. Go
over your mermaid with a
dark brush to define any
essential lines that may
have been removed. Add a
layer in the background and
give it a base color.
Add Final Details
In a layer between you mermaid and your background, add any details you may
want behind your mermaid, whether it’s waves, light or seaweed. Your mermaid is now
ready to swim with the fishes!
