How to Draw Mermaids

Learn how to draw mermaids in three different ways. Draw a siren that is dancing gracefully through the tides of water, a friendly princess that is welcoming you to her underwater world, or a dangerous sea-witch that is fiercely defending her territory with a knife made of fishbone.

We'll start with a simple sketch of each mermaid and then work out the details over several steps.
You already need a bit of basic knowledge about how to draw a face for this lesson.
I actually do mention a couple of things about the face in the videos, but that is not sufficient for someone who has never done it before.
So in case you've never drawn a face or still have a hard time with it, you can check out my tutorial here.

Otherwise, let's get started.
