Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the ideal technique for drawing Ariel’s smokey eyes?

For the smokey eyes effect, start with a lighter shade as the base and gradually add layers of darker shades. Blend smoothly using a blending stump or your fingertip to achieve the desired smokiness. The black tear drop can be added as a final touch, making sure it stands out against the smokey backdrop.

How can I capture the messiness and spikiness of Ariel’s hair?

Begin with loose wavy lines to map out the hair’s flow. For the spiky effect, incorporate sharper, jagged lines. Ensure the lines are dynamic and varied to create a realistic messy look. Remember to maintain Ariel’s recognizable hair silhouette as a base.

Any tips for detailing the skull and fangs on Ariel’s necklace?

Start with basic shapes. For the skull, begin with a circle and add facial details. For the fangs, elongated triangles work well. Refine and add details gradually. Shadows and highlights can be added for depth and realism.
