Project 365 ~ #229

#229 of 365 Daily Drawings

 

Inspiration: Fishnet stockings

 

Result: How to catch a mermaid

 

Materials: Pentel 0.3 HB, Platinum Carbon Fountain Pen, Faber-Castell Albrecht Durer watercolour pencils & Faber-Castell PITT artist pen white 101 in a Stillman & Birn Epsilon series sketchbook ( 21.6 cm 27.9 cm / 8 1/2" x 11")

 

Location: Home

 

Note: Thought process was thus: Looking at pin-up girls from the 40's => stockings => soldiers/sailors giving gifts of rationed stockings to the ladies they fancied => sailors dream of mermaids => but mermaids have no use for stockings => but sailors fishing for gals might...right?
