Mermaid on Patterned Rocks With Swirling Waves of Hair

A smiling mermaid sits on a large rock with her tail curled in front of her, looking down and to the side. Her very long hair falls in thick swirling waves past her shoulders and curls into spirals at the ends. She wears a necklace of round beads and a shell-shaped top with a small beaded belt at her waist. Behind her, rays of scalloped and dashed lines fan out from the top, with big striped round orbs floating in the corners. The rocks and tail are packed with small designs like scales, fans, triangles, leaves and dots.

The big hair sections are easy to fill, and the tiny patterns on the rocks suit fine-tip pens or sharp pencils.
