Because I have been entertaining the idea of a collage containing a more graphically rendered mermaid as part of it, I reflected on how I could use this mermaid in such a way. Initially, I thought I'd go over the pencil with ink, and then manually "age" and distress the paper. But as I contemplated what course of action to take, I finally decided to bring the image into Photoshop and Corel Painter and do some digital work.
The finished image appears below after many digital adjustments. I wanted it to look like a page from an old novel.
Now I can print it up to use as a collage element!More faces to come soon, I promise. Until next time, take care!
