My Entry

My entry for this week is a Mischievous Mermaid, with an Angler Fish at the back

Steps

The Sketch

The first step is I sketched the Drawing which I will later trace on Medibang. The reason I sketch it first is because it is easier to erase on paper and because I am only using an android phone with a small screen.

Tracing and Coloring in Medibang

I uploaded the sketch in Medibang art and started tracing the outline and coloring it.
I always use multiple layers when coloring to avoid confusion so that revising the work would be easy. I also need to create it in many layers so that I can animate it later on Capcut

Fixing Colors in Photoshop

Medibang is not good for adjusting colors so I need to use photoshop to adjust the colors to my likeness

Animating in Capcut

After editing the colors of the background mid-layer and mermaid , I transferred it to capcut to animate it. I added effects on each layer to make move.

My Capcut Layers

Converting into GIF

To convert my Mermaid mp4 file into gif, I uploaded it to Giphy.

Details that I Like about this drawing

I like drawing this mermaid because of the details, although my detailing is not that good I think the details that I added like hair strands, scales, and fin strands made my artwork more beautiful
