Neat, just skimming to see how they painted lighting on the skull was super helpful, I'll make sure to watch the full video some time!
Also, I redrew one of my creatures because the original concept felt just a little too round and fluffy to give off the unnatural and horror-ish vibe I was trying to make. I guess it's also kind of a redraw? The original is from a year ago.
Original concept and New concept

Y'all like more digital art or traditional art?
Well…..
I draw traditionally, but I color it digitally. (On a computer. With a mouse. It's kinda hard lmao)
Digital because I usually make a mess with everything, plus then my baby sister can't scribble on it

Traditional. I like the look of straighter lines, becaise heaven forbid I cannot draw with just one finger.
Ah, now that's good logic NutElla. I am the youngest though, so I don't have to worry about that. Instead I have to worry about people smudging the pencil on any of my drawings. You wouldn't believe how many people try to run their fingers over my drawings. They're like, "Oh this is so nice! Guess I will caress it like a beloved pet!" Like, why!? It's a drawing for peets sake! It doesn't need to be stroked!

I do my coloring digitally so I don't mess up the sketch, but I enjoy traditional more. Just because I like having a physical original for my drawings.
Also sure, but what's Mermay?
ooh, sure!

I do more digital, but I still like traditional as well. I feel like my traditional art tends to be better than my digital stuff.
Also sure, but what's Mermay?
It's a drawing challenge where you draw a different mermaid every day. I've never done it, but I think it's kind of like Inktober where there's a different prompt for each day.

Meymay is like Inktober or Drawtober

Actually, I'm doing Mermay but not going by any guidelines, trying to draw a daily mermaid but if I miss a day I'll just draw it and one for the next day I guess.
None of your pics you’ve posted had been sideways for me, so you’re all good over here! :)

ooh, sure!
Sideways, again. That's okay, but still annoying.
that is beautiful but maybe work on the proportions of mermaids and humans because they are both different and if I had to critique this I would give it 8/10 just work on the proportions a little bit more and das it. also I love the background

Thank you! I realize that the tail is a tad wonky, but I was too lazy to fix it. Ha ha. But yeah, I am working on the correct proportions for mermaids. Easier to learn than legs, that's for sure.
True
