I made this for my art concentration. I have to make 3 other pieces and i hope they turn out a bit better. I like how this one is but i dont think that my point comes off in it. Ill have to use the other three to strongly state my point without using words.

My concentration: What i am focusing on is how color and pose can change the feeling and emotion of a picture. To do this i will be drawing 4 dofferemt pictures of the same mermaid girl just wit different colored skin, hair, and tail and also probably some different object covering the boobs because im not in AP art yet and am not allowed to draw actual boobs.

The pose for this one IS flirty but the expression i drew and the colors arent quite up to the level i wanted. Next time i think im going to choose and pick out all the colors before hand and get what expression i want down on paper. I also want to focus less on the background and more on the mermaid herself.
