I wonder if mermaids really exist? Or are the stories about a man with a fish tail just legends invented by ancient elders? Someone considers the stories about mermaids to be absolute fiction, others say that they saw them with their own eyes. One way or another, a certain image of a mermaid is present in the imagination of every modern person, thanks to illustrations for fairy tales and cartoons about mermaids. It is not difficult to draw a mermaid yourself, for this, the main thing is to clearly imagine in your head the appearance of this mysterious creature.
Instructions
Step 1
First, draw a small circle (the head of the future mermaid) at the top of the sheet of paper with a pencil.
Step 2
Just below the intended head of the girl, you need to draw two identical small circles located at the same level.
Step 3
Below these two small circular pieces, sketch out the base of the mermaid's tail. In the figure, it is depicted as a rather large circle.
Step 4
Now, on the mermaid's head, using two different-sized circles, a flower should be outlined.
Step 5
With two smooth lines on the mermaid's head, you need to draw a bang. From her, using many different-sized circles, you should depict the hair of a mysterious beauty.
Step 6
From the large circle, which serves as the base of the tail, you need to draw down two smooth lines connected to each other at a certain distance from the indicated circle. The greater the distance from the base of the tail to the point of intersection of the lines, the longer the mermaid tail will turn out.
Step 7
Draw 2 large fins on either side of the end of the mermaid's tail.
Step 8
Now, two smooth lines should connect the base of the mermaid tail and the two small circles shown at the initial stage of drawing. And you should also draw a triangular line directed downward from the base of the tail. Now you can already remove all unnecessary pencil lines from the bottom of the drawing with an eraser.
Step 9
Next, the mermaid needs to draw a neck and a line of shoulders.
Step 10
And after that - graceful thin handles.
Step 11
Extra lines from the top of the picture must be removed with an eraser.
Step 12
The circles outlined at the very beginning of the drawing on the mermaid's head should be turned into a flower. And in the middle of the abdomen, draw a neat navel.
Step 13
Then you need to draw eyes with cilia for the mermaid, a small nose and mouth.
Step 14
On the mermaid's neck, you should draw some beautiful decoration, for example, a chain with a pendant in the form of a star.
Step 15
Now we need to show an ornament on the tail fins and shells covering the mermaid's chest. On the girl's tail, it is necessary to depict scales with wavy lines.
Step 16
All that remains is to show your imagination and paint the mermaid with all the colors of the rainbow.
