I suggest you complete a new drawing lesson, in which I will show you how to draw an easy mermaid step-by-step.
This tutorial will focus on drawing a mythological creature and here you will learn how to draw an easy mermaid step by step.
A mermaid is usually depicted as a woman with long flowing hair, who has a fishtail instead of legs. The mermaid lives in the water and only occasionally comes to the surface.
Attitude towards mermaids is ambiguous. Some legends say that a meeting with a mermaid can be dangerous and leads to the death of a person. However, there are legends in which mermaids showed noble features and even saved people from death.
In this lesson, you will draw a beautiful mermaid. The mermaid has a slender, graceful body, a large fishtail and an unusual hair color. Try to correctly depict all these elements in your drawing. Carefully follow each drawing step.
