Mischievous Mermaids are the mages of ΛZMΛRÉ Merfolk. They can often be found destroying homes of innocent Crustaceans around the edge of the Dark Water with their plasmatic wave

## Steps

### The Sketch
The first step is I sketched the Drawing which I will later trace on Medibang.  The reason I sketch it first is because it is easier to erase on paper and because I am only using an android phone with a small screen.

### Tracing and Coloring in Medibang
I uploaded the sketch in Medibang art and started tracing the outline and coloring it.
I always use multiple layers when coloring to avoid confusion so that revising the work would be easy.  I also need to create it in many layers so that I can animate it later on Capcut

### Fixing Colors in Photoshop
Medibang is not good for adjusting colors so I need to use photoshop to adjust the colors to my likeness

### Animating in Capcut
After editing the colors of the background mid-layer and mermaid , I transferred it to capcut to animate it. I added effects on each layer to make move.

### Converting into GIF
To convert my Mermaid mp4 file into gif, I uploaded it to Giphy.

### Details that I Like about this drawing
I like drawing this mermaid because of the details, although my detailing is not that good I think the details that I added like hair strands, scales, and fin strands made my artwork more beautiful
