So something a little different for you this 27th of MerMay 2026 - I drew this today in a spirit of sharing and invite you, if you've a mind to, to print it out and colour it in. Use any colours you like!

If you do, I'd love to see it in a reply here!

It was drawn as B6 see how you go, dunno how well it'll scale.

It's drawn with my favourite Rotring Art Pen.

This #Merperson likes playing with bubbles! Just a quick drawing as I've had a busy day.
The ink is Parker's Quink. It's a decades old bottle, with just a black coloured label, but it's nice to use on occasion - with so many tempting other fancy inks around I don't often.

I'm still using the Kakimori steel nib dipper.

Friday I got MerMay on my mind! @mariibyrd reminded me today - you should check out their art too, it's very cool.

I drew most of this today with my new Kakimori dip nib, and I used Diamine's UltraSheen Laurel. As you can see, it really sheens. The paper is the very first page in my smaller Life Noble Note I got with my birthday money. Happy MerMay everybody!

Shello, fellow merfolk! 🧜‍♀️ Das Kind hat sich über einen deutlichen Mangel an Lesezeichen beklagt. (Es hat genug. Aber wer weiß, wo die verkramt sind..) Also habe ich das zum Ansporn genutzt, mal wieder die Pinsel auszupacken. Ich mag es, wie ich mich in dieser Aktivität verlieren kann und zur Ruhe finde. Ich scheine allerdings beim Malen irgendwie immer ein "Ziel" zu benötigen, um aktiv zu werden - was mich selbst total nervt.

Nix Besonderes, aber mein Kind hat sich sehr drüber gefreut. 😊

Dreamwidth Drawesome Community Drawtober Drawing Challenge Prompt No.29 Bell
Content Notes: Vaguely inspired by stories of hearing about mermaids ringing the bells of submerged churches to warn of storms.

Diamine's Sugar Snap ink, with the bell using Pelikan's Golden Lapis. Touches of another ink which I don't know what it was.

Merfolk are mostly always shown with cetacean tails, although they're quite often scaled like fish.

Let's try it this way.

Drawn with #FountainPens mainly Lamy and Conklin and #FountainPenInk mainly random Inkvent pretties.

It's on again! https://coogeelive.com/whats-on/great-mermaid-migration/

I'll be there!

An #ArtFight2024 revenge against Electrisa's merman superhero, Luminaut (https://artfight.net/character/461422.luminaut-noui-the-butterfly-fish).

They did a fantastic portrait of Big Blue, so I figured a blue for a blue was fair!
