This drawing started when I didn't know what I really wanted to draw. I just sketched a curved tree at first and threw more lines around it to see what I could get out of it. I was going to put a beautiful and charming mermaid on it, but somehow I started thinking that the picture could have a darker, more menacing mood.
On the other hand, I often draw really vibrant, colourful pictures, so this picture was such a great practice for the opposite!
