Earlier today, I shared my pencil drawing of Dudley from the Little Mermaid TV show and I promised when I added color to my illustration that I’d share it with you.
Well, the time has arrived. I got busy last night and finished up not long ago. I used a sepia color Sakura Micron (003) pen to outline my image before applying color with my Prismacolor pencils and for a finishing touch, I took a piece of Kleenex tissue to smooth the colors. I got a little bleeding where I didn’t want but there’s nothing I can do about that now except to learn from the process.

The next two images, I used the Prismacolor illustration, playing with Pixelmator I added the newspaper effect. In the first one, I kept it at its default color, white, but bumping the glow effect to brighten the picture. The second one, I changed the default color to cyan and adjusted the angle which gives the impression that Dudley is underwater or at least it does to me. What do you think? Do you like these image edits?
I’m unclear how I want to handle updates in this series. Do you like getting a separate post or would you prefer I go back to the original; add it there and then tell you about it in the following day’s post?
You’ll find other bloggers crazy as me on the Google A2Z spreadsheet if you’d like to discover a whole lot of talent and don’t forget to stay tuned for tomorrow’s edition of The Little Mermaid art sketch series, E is for…, you didn’t think I was going to give you a spoiler now, did you? 😆
Have a good evening! X💋X💋, Cathy
