How to Draw a HOT MerMAN in Alcohol Markers!

We draw SO many whimsical girls and female figures inside the Fun Fab Drawing Club, I thought it would be super fun to add a merMAN to our Mer-may lessons :)

I know, he's completely ridiculous, but I had fun drawing and coloring him in with my alcohol markers. I know you will too!! If you're new to blending copic markers or alcohol markers in general, this lesson is FILLED with blending practice opportunities in his tail!

I tried to keep supplies fairly minimal for this drawing project. If you prefer watercolor, or any other medium, PLEASE feel free to go your own way. I used alcohol markers and the following...

Looking for Other Mermaids?

So far, there are FIVE incredibly fun mermaid/merman projects in our Fantasy classroom to enjoy :) And, as you probably already know - I've got even MORE of them up my sleeve to be released throughout the summer. Soooo fun!! 

Not Feeling It With the Mermaids?

That's fine! To each their own, right?! I've got a whole slew of other projects ready and waiting for you in the Fun Fab Drawing Club :) If you're in the mood for Whimsical Girls on Toned Paper drawing projects, I recommended a bunch of those recently HERE. 

If you prefer drawing figures with LEGS instead of fins, I've got an entire fun classroom dedicated to fun fab figure drawing that's NOT stuffy and is way more about fashion than anatomy! ​

Maybe summer's got you thinking about flowers and some floral projects are more your speed right now? Check out the Fun Fab Florals classroom here.  ​

If you're a Wonder Bundler with access to everything, you might enjoy the ​Fabulous Painted Flowers classroom inside the Mixed Media Society :) There's a little bit of everything here from watercolor beginner projects to easy mixed media, encaustics, and even NINE tulip lessons in acrylics.
