under the sea

...for illustration friday, an ATC that I haven't traded away yet. Originally I made it for a 'cute monsters' swap but I came up with these instead.



Laid down a watercolor background, sprinkled it with salt for a marbled effect, let it dry and added sumi-e ink for seaweed. Then I drew, colored, cut out and collaged the fish and sea-plant-coral-thing on.
