First things first, I’m a sucker for mermaids, and this gal is stunning! Love how you did the dapply scales and the texture in her hair. The fairly monochrome character palette is offset nicely by the bright blue sea.

If I had to make a critique, it would be about the bend in her tail. It’s very common for people to draw mermaids with “knee joints” despite not having any legs, but the presence of those knee joints with severely decrease her swimming abilities and would take away her aquadynamics by jeopardizing her fusiform structure. Most fish (especially large ones) have a very taught, straight-up-and-down body type for maximum swimming ability!

Overall this is a great piece. Really like this lady! Also, welcome to dA!

Very good! The pose is somewhat stiff, but the style is nice and I like how you did her hair. Welcome to dA!
