Description: Another fantasy tutorial on the way for you all, and I know you will all like it. Yesterday I drew some really cool stuff while I was live and now I am about to submit them to you. I will show you "how to draw a mermaid step by step". Now even though we know mermaids to be a fantasy creature, the truth is they are actually creatures of Greek mythology. I wrote so much already with my other tutorials on mermaids that I am at a lose for words now. I guess I can tell you that I liked drawing out this mermaid, I think it is the best one I have uploaded to date. I mean the other mermaids that I drew were done so long ago and they are all so very…premature. I have gotten so much better at drawing over the past two years since DragoArt has been alive, that it is so plain to see the difference in my work when I look back on it. Back then I thought I was doing a great job, and for a fourteen year old I guess I was. But anyway, as you know this mermaid that you will learn how to draw may look hard, but it is really quite easy. If you follow the steps the way I lay them out, and take your time drawing her, you will have a blast with this lesson. Well, that’s it. I will leave you now to this tutorial on “how to draw a mermaid step by step”. Have fun people and keep on drawing to your hearts content.
