Vote for this month's Tutorial Video! 💌✨

Hello again! 🌻 

It's time to vote for the tutorial video you'd like to see this month! 💌 I went through all your comments on our Feature Friday post and picked out 4 different options that were the most requested! ✨ There are two Mermay-themed options and two regular options :) but I'll still be drawing mermaids for the examples in each video, so I guess they're all kind of Mermay-themed! 🙈

Something to note: I usually post the monthly tutorial video by the end of the month since I put a lot of research and time into it, so bear this in mind if you'd like a Mermay-themed tutorial! 💛 Mermay will be almost over by the time I post the video, but I think it will still be fun and useful because we can draw mermaids and water scenes all year long 😌✨

📝Here are some brief descriptions of what you could expect to see in each tutorial: 

• Underwater Scenes: This tutorial will cover underwater scenery and how to render water! We'll draw reflective water surfaces, a simple underwater ocean scape, and then I'll show you how to apply those techniques and draw a mermaid in an underwater scene! ✨
• How to Draw Mermaid Tails: In this video we'll be sketching, coloring, and rendering unique mermaid tails! I'll show you guys how to use references of sea creatures and fish as inspiration for designs that will make your mermaid tails look interesting and original ✨
• Lineart: Techniques & Sketching Tips: For this tutorial I'll be sharing my best tips and techniques on lineart! This will include how to build up your sketch layers to reach a clean & sketchy look, thick vs. thin lines, and more. I'll be drawing mermaids in this tutorial as well! ✨
• How to Paint Different Skin Tones: In this tutorial I'll lead you through the process of how to color and render multiple skin tones! Everyone's skin tone is different and there are hundreds of tones out there, but I'll show you how to paint a spectrum of them! Bonus: I might include how to render blue skin as a special Mermay treat 🙈✨

And that's it!! Thank you so much to everyone who contributed suggestions for this month's tutorial topic, I love reading them all and I make sure to write all of them down for future ideas! 😍🌟 I can't wait to see which topic you guys choose, I'm so excited for each one! Have fun & happy voting! 🎉

Love,
