My body is not perfect, but I sparkle of color and joy.
This pretty much sums up how I felt when I painted this mermaid.
I drew her in my favorite colors of purple and teal*.
Adding contrast with green and pink and blue.
I used a watercolor wash for the background adding splatters of color.
And I finished the image with sparkles on her body using shimmering metallic ink
*o.k. black will always be #1, but it's not a color 😎

Sorry, but I did not take step by step photos of the process for this pic. I was fully immersed in the creation process, but...
here's a few close ups, so you can see the sparkle:

It's a fine sentiment :) To sparkle life and joy! And "perfect" bodies are just an illusion anyway, it is better to be happy and healthy :)
Very nice drawing, @oceanbee :) I love her hair, so green and wild in the sea ! And that gold detailing is so pretty! I love the tail and the starfish very much :D
I completely agree @veryspider and have nothing to add to your words :)
Yeah, the body is a bit - meh, but I love wild hair (drives my hairdresser nuts - hahaha)
