Description

While I was in China I became fascinated with the Asian cultures, particularly with their beautiful clothing. A Japanese friend mentioned how she'd love to be a mermaid and this is how this came to be...

Mermaid = 美人鱼 (Meirenyu)
This mermaid is wearing a Chinese Qipao.

More to come.

Prismacolor Markers over Canson A4 paper.

(If I've made a mistake with the design of the clothing, I apologize. I do not intend to disrespect anyone.)
