This heavily illustrated lesson challenges you to rely primarily on your visual skills as you combine lines with shapes to create a cartoon drawing of a baby mermaid.

Well, I did the lion and koala a looooong time ago, and I just discovered I cannot do this lesson well yet
My brother took my drawing pencils and sharpies how nice of him.
I guess I'll step back a few lessons and try again

I think your lessons are great and are really helpful to a novice like myself. I find this lesson hard as the lines are really faint and hard to see. Please could you darken the lines up if you have time, as my eyes are hurting trying to make out the shapes and lines in this tutorial. Thank you

I didn't do well on the hands and the left fin but the rest of the drawing is OK. This is a good lesson in proportion and shapes.

This was by far the most difficult drawing I've done since beginning the lessons. I had much difficulty with the fingers. The final product is not great, but quite an accomplishment for me.

And the last lesson on this chapter

It was not so easy... i have made some small mistakes..but i hope that you like it!
Thank youuuuuuu Brenda!!!

Hi . I want to thank the site owner for the wonderful tutorials . I don`t know if this is the right place to post my work but i hope no one will be bothered. ok here goes






i`ll try to make my drawings more clean ..

i did this lesson, but found it really hard to draw!
i'm not happy with the result.. . does anyone have hints for me?

This is my merbaby. I am not too happy with it, drawing in pen leaves no room for mistakes. He looks like a little old man instead of a baby. His right arm is too small and the fingers on the left hand are all wrong. I also made a mistake with the fins and hair. I will do another one in the future. Here he is.

It didn't really turn out great but here it is:

thanks for the great tutorial - the final outcome looks really very great...

I thought this was a good lesson. I re-did it 3 times but the third time it came out pretty good beside some minor mistakes.

Cute merbaby, thanks a lot

Well by far for me this was the hardest drawing to get a nice finish with...tried to finish with marker outline, had problems with the hands and a bit of the tail but mostly the hands, I was a bit off......a bit TOO big, have to practice more with proportion!

Yup- it's ma MerBabyBoy.

I've done all the lessons in this section and though I thought before they are a little bit useless, I've changed my mind. Ive never thought that drawing such simple cartoons may be so enjoyable and instructive. Thank you!

Didn't care for this lesson. Had some difficulty with it. Lost my patience with it. Open for comments.

Here is my attempt at the merbaby. I am pretty happy with it considering I havent painted much. Had the most trouble with the hands and arms I think.

I also tried coloring it.
