#mermay Challenge 17 - Merlove

Good morning and welcome to today;s #mermay challenge post. Today I picked Merlove for the challenge after getting these gorgeous images fro Sweet November Stamps and seeing Amy Young create a similar scene. I love the way Amy colours and want to be able to do the things she seems to find so easy! It's never that easy for me! 

My sea didn't come out as well as I had hoped. By this stage of my colouring marathon, a lot of my Copics were running out or getting sticky, so I needed to do lots of blending here. I find that if I clean them halfway through my colouring, the colour changes slightly and looks even worse! But a bit of perseverance and lots of patience and it came out looking ok I think!
