As Mermaid and the Sailor was drawn while I was at an airport, I didn't have the opportunity to scan the rough sketch or any stages leading up to this. The image to the left is what I had finished by the time I returned home. Then it sat around for a few months. |

What a difference some shading
makes . . .
When I returned to the piece and began working on it, I ended up redoing the shading on her upstretched arm, redoing the anatomy of his arm and shoulder, and then finishing the shading. At this stage, I thought I was done, but I gathered some comments from friends and ended up refining a few things. |

The differences between
this image and the one above it are very subtle. Most obvious, I
changed some of the shading on his face and his right pant leg. I
just cleaned up the image in general.
The finished image is here. |
