Thanks Robb, Gman and Tyger!:)

Also thanks to Coruscate, it's nice getting some unsolicited suggestions. I'm always up for constructive critisim as it helps me grow. I'll take your advice on the colors. She actually has more blue on her torso then the pic shows. It was a really light wash I put over her and the camera only sees what the camera sees. Perhaps I need to add more? I still haven't found any good reference pics yet....

Besides the fact I like to look at mermaid boobs, my eyes are overly drawn there due to the high key pallette that contrasts with the water.

I just thought that was hard wired into men's brains. :lol: My eyes aren't drawn to them, any other women out there agree? :D

Thanks again for looking. I've got a photographer friend who runs a modeling agency for figure drawing models. He offered to take a few photos for me (not of me)for my next paintings. So I hope to have some new subject matter soon! Happy me!
