The video shows a person drawing a mermaid on a white sheet of paper. The artist uses a pencil to sketch the outline of the mermaid's body, tail, and hair. The drawing is in a sketchy style, with visible pencil strokes. The mermaid is depicted in a reclining position, with her tail curving upwards and her hair flowing behind her. The artist's hand is visible in the video, holding the pencil and making the drawing.
