Introduction: What Are Mermaids?
Mermaids are half human and half fish or sea creature. They are depicted as beautiful women with a long, flowing hair.
Mermaids are popular figures in the folklore of coastal communities throughout the world. They have been said to be seen hundreds of years ago off the coast of Scotland and Ireland, off southern Africa’s coasts, off Malaysia's coast, near New Zealand's North Island, and near Australia's East Coast.
However, no one can agree on what they really are - whether they are just fictional figures or some kind of sea creature or humans who had been enchanted by mermaids themselves.
The Basics Of Drawing Mermaids
Usually, mermaids are depicted as human-like beings with a fish tail. The scales on their skin are often said to be so shiny that people can see them from miles away. Some people have reported seeing them around the world.
Mermaids are often thought of as creatures with a human upper body and a fish or dolphin tail instead of legs and feet; they also usually have a woman’s head. The word mermaid may come from an ancient belief that such creatures existed and would sit on rocks by the sea and comb their hair like humans.
