The Little Mermaid

For University I had to design a book cover, and this is my rendition to one of the most beautiful fairytales ever: Andersen's "Little Mermaid".

I put my soul on this artwork, because this story means a lot for me, and I wanted to make a great work. I made it with pencil colors, watercolors and edited with Photoshop (water).

I hope you like it, thanks for watching!!
