Random mermaid colored by @Cyanide (Ana Nyte)
Same thing as before only it's colored...and oh my Goddess, is that a background?! faints It's not pretty circles any more, but I think this is the closest I will come to a real background for a while...so, what do you think, am I getting any better at this coloring thing, or do I still suck?
You are getting better at coloring. The texture in her hair is really pretty, and although the background is rather plain, it still suits this image. I think you need to work on lineart before you color, though. The pencil lines tend to make this look unfinished. Try using pen to trace over them sometime before you color.
Her pose is very cool, and although her head is rather large, it seems more of an intentional deformaty than a mistake. I really love the color you chose to give the shadows on her skin--it works very well with this green tint. I really like the seaweed-ish strands that seem to be coming off her skin. It's beautiful, overall.
