33 minute Mermaid Sketch 3/29/13

Description

So... I'm going to be silly, for a moment. (But that would imply that I'm usually serious, wouldn't it? Forget I said 'for a moment', then.)
I received a new sketchbook from my sister, today. (I have already drawn five things in it.) Not too long after she gave me it, my mother and I took my nephew to the park... Pay close attention...
This is the same park that we went to on New Year's Eve for 2012-2013... Where I began A Story Begins... And I sat in the very same tree that sparked the idea for the beginning of Chapter one... And drew for about an hour.
Well... 33 minutes out of that hour went into this mermaid picture. (And another picture that I am quite satisfied with, but you don't get to see it yet.) I am convinced the tree is my muse. I don't know how. Or why. Or even what part of a tree inspires a story of giants and picture of a mermaid. But it did.

And, for the record, I lost my flip-flop twice while sitting in it... Had to go down, get it, climb (or walk, really, but, you know. -hand flip- Details.) back to my perch, and get comfortable again. Only to drop my water bottle... =.= I was annoyed.

Let me know if you guys think this is as good as I think it is. 'Cause, if it is, I swear it's the tree...

(You know what's funny? This was supposed to be a GT picture with a human, not a mermaid. I don't know where the mermaid came from, but I like her~)

I think it's great but the hand/arm could be doing something more (I sometimes have the same problem with my characters.) I like the idea of fringes on the sides of the tail and the fins. well done.
