i "copied" this from a pic i saw at itch-studios. And loved the pose and just had too try and draw it too - well below is the result.

ahhhh now I see whats going on.. at first I thought it was a pregnant mermaid... and thought to myself thats really weird... then I noticed its her butt turned toward us.. :P

I like most of it but its a little dark and the lines arent clearly defined so its hard to see.

I think the upper leg needs reworking because I dont think she would be able to pose herself like that.. but thats just me.

Nice- very graceful. A little dark/muddy, but nice.

I thought it was a preggers mermaid too.

lol did i screw the pic up that bad? hehe

Has she got a lock of hair between her breast at her knee? If so, I don't think it needs to be there.

Great looking pose, though. A very flexible elf!

At first I thought it was a prenant mermaid too...then I saw that it was a butt and bent leg and I had an "aha" moment and thought "beautiful"

Perhaps if there was some sort of slight highlight, shading or other indication to define it as a leg and butt...

Beautiful and elegant.

OMG! even after reading all the comments about pregnant mermaids when i loaded I too instantly saw a pregnant mermaid! lol. sorry.

I do see it now though, its a good drawing. To get rid of the preg prblem try elminating that shadow on the right buttock that breaks up the from of the leg. We are seeing a belly because we think we can see the edge of a form. It's all due to that shadow and those pen lines dont help either.

really cool pose.
