A new picture and work in progress

Lately I've been busy writing and drawing.  I've nearly finished rewriting chapter 1 and so far it's more than 4000 words.  It's a long chapter but the others aren't going to be that long.  For drawing I'm working on a portrait of Minira.  She is one of the main characters.  I'm also working on a mermaid picture that will be my first one using coloured pencils.  There are mermaids in my fantasy series and the picture is the design of them.
