My lungs seemed to be on fire, and I could no longer fight, no longer struggle to stay afloat. I was collapsing backward, into a black blanket that swallowed me whole.
And then, just as abruptly, the blanket was gone, and I no longer felt limp or tired, and my lungs no longer burned. I realized that someone was holding me, carrying me underwater, and I felt safe and calm. I looked up and saw that it was Leo, his golden hair streaming, his green eyes the color of the tall grasses that surrounded us. So this is a tribute to the novel Sea Change, by Aimee Friedman. They are her characters Leo and Miranda. I finished it this week and it's not that I loved it, but I liked this scene and felt like drawing it (It's on page 252). The thing is the argument of this book was pretty cool and had a lot of potential. It could have been way better (and longer). I guess you can't expect every single novel to be a master piece. In relation to the drawing, I'm proud of it  . In comparison to another work of mine with similar theme,Underwater Dancing, I think I have improved since then  .I hope you like it! ________________________________________ Time 5-6 hours Tools Graphite pencil, paper, Photoshop CS Sea Change, Leo and Miranda © 2009 Aimee Friedman |

This one looks really cute, and, yeah, thanks for the spoiler <__< I love the water effect and the color of the effect of skin-turning-into-scales. How did you do the water thingie?

I'm not sure what you mean by the water thing... If you're refering to the surface I just used several diferent photoshop brushes and added llayers until I liked the result. I don't really remember how I exactly did it anymore
The bottom of the sea I did in a similar way. Just adding layers and trying different brushes. Then I "blurred" it using the filter menu.
Sorry for the spoiler. But, really, I think there are books that deserve to be read more than this one... It was cute and all, but still
Anyway, thanks again!
