JosephCow: Thanks for the positive words, really appreciate it! Glad you like the image!
Lunatique: Thank you! I'm glad to hear I'm improving with these studies, will definitely do as many as I can. The master copy studies is a great suggestion, I think I'll tackle those fairly soon as well. Thanks for your positive words and suggestions, much appreciated as always!

I thought I would also give myself a break and illustrate something fun for Mermay as it's a tradition I paint a mermaid every year to celebrate this event and I always have a blast with it.

Any feedback on the sketch before I begin painting it in would be most appreciated!
