How to Draw a Mermaid in Procreate (join MerMay in 2023!)

If you enjoy the fantasy culture, I am sure that mermaids are on top of your list, because they are cute, flowy, dynamic and can have tons of personality! This is a call out to all the Little Mermaid fans who want to learn how to draw their own mermaid!

There’s also a special event every year, MerMay (so it’s every year during May), when you can showcase your mermaid on social media and network with other artists who are doing the same!

In this class, you will be able to either draw your own mermaid or color the free coloring page from the resources section, in case you simply want to practice your colors!

You will learn the process of my illustration technique:

-lineart and grayscale;

-choosing colors;

-shading&lighting;

-contrast;

-underwater background;

-final adjustments.

For this illustration, I use Procreate on an iPad Pro, but you can replicate the techniques on most drawing softwares (such as Clip Studio Paint, Photoshop, Krita etc.).

You will also get my brushes for free AND a coloring page of the lineart used in this class! So join me as I show you how to draw mermaids!

Note: the free brushes will only work in Procreate.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have access to the course materials?

Definitely! If you have an internet connection, courses on Udemy are available on any device at any time. If you don’t have an internet connection, some instructors also let their students download course lectures. That’s up to the instructor though, so make sure you get on their good side!
