I'D LIKE TO BE UNDER THE SEA

MERMAID

“I have seen them riding seaward on the waves
Combing the white hair of the waves blown back
When the wind blows the water white and black.

We have lingered in the chambers of the sea
By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown
Till human voices wake us, and we drown.” 
― T.S. Eliot, The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock

Here is the first of my drawing challenge: To draw a mermaid. Drawn in pen then scanned in and digitally coloured. This challenge was set by my friend Bekky (who also has a blog - check her out as her work is AMAZING: http://saintdamascus.blogspot.com.au )
