I knew exactly what I wanted to do the moment I saw the prompt 'brave'. It’s a film I didn’t fully appreciate when it first came out and, honestly, the marketing was so misleading and sold a completely different story. I remember feeling like the rug had been pulled out from under me when I first saw it. But over time, especially after becoming a parent, my perspective shifted. I see so much more depth in the film now, and I think it’s such a shame that Brave never truly got the recognition it deserved.

Anyway! Here’s my interpretation of Merida as a mermaid — complete with a coral bow and arrow set. I’ve been really enjoying drawing hair lately, though I’ll admit I didn’t quite capture her signature curls the way I hoped (read: not even close—this hair is just dramatic and flowy, not curly at all).

I was also really happy to use my metallic markers again. I was pretty nervous doing so, however, because you can only lay those down once soooooooo if you make a bad brush stroke you just have to live with it. THANKFULLY I was able to relax my wrist and let the brush glide over the paper.
