Annabel the Mermaid

I thought I would have a go at a technique for colouring in I saw in a craft magazine ages ago - using dots.  I thought this technique would be perfect for the scaly effect I wanted for the mermaid.  I coloured Annabel in using my pens, before adding the background and pearl detail using a pearl pen.  I have kept the card simple as I wanted the attention to be on the image, so I simply added some pearls.

Here's how I coloured the image ...

Iused a mixture of the fine nib and bullet nib to create different sizes.
