Waverly is learning how to use her very first magic wand. With a tiny swish, she can make bubbles dance in a circle. Give this young mermaid a wonderful look for her magic lesson!
Waverly is practicing a tiny bit of underwater magic! In this picture, the young mermaid holds a star-tipped wand while round bubbles swirl around her. Her flowing hair, finned tail, and sweet smile make this a cheerful scene for an ocean-coloring adventure. Will her wand make the bubbles sparkle, turn into little fish, or float all the way to a coral castle? You get to imagine the magic.
Try turquoise or aqua for Waverlyβs tail, then add purple scales along the fin. Her hair could be sunny yellow, chestnut brown, or even rainbow bright. Color the wand gold with a pink or yellow star at the top. Make the bubbles pale blue, lavender, and silver-gray, leaving little white spots for shine. A deep blue water background will help her magical bubbles stand out.
Mermaids are make-believe characters from stories, so artists can imagine them in many different ways. Real fish use fins to help them move through water, and a mermaid tail is often drawn with a wide fin at the end. Bubbles are real, too: fish can make bubbles when they move through water, while divers breathe bubbles out through special gear. What kind of spell would your mermaid learn next?
