Ariel! :p

You may be thinking, what's with the freakin' mermaid... :shakefist: where is your normal surreal art? ....
well I got this new wacom thingie and I need to practice first on my painting before i can use it to do my surreal art... I needed something simple..
I painted the upper body and face from scratch with reference of this image [link] ... the tail is from sadestock, and the clouds are brushes and the water splashes. clous brush from adaae stock.
I know it is crappy, I need to work on my detailing, i need to work on the hands, face, hair, everything! I tried to much to soon etc.....
But it was just a practice... and I finished it a little bit in a hurry..
This is my first ever attempt on digital painting....
I did most of my images with a mouse..
I saw a few tutorials, but didn't understand much .... maybe someone knows a good tutorial for digi-painting?? :hmm:

attempt painting painted with photoshop cs2

I hope you guys have some tips and hints for the future...

I will put this in scraps later
