Water

[Bettyboop]

I have been practicing the design that I am going to put on my skateboard this morning, and this is what I have come up with. I would like to make the effect of water all over the board, then I am going to add the fish, and further add some coral and seaweed etc. I like the way that the fish have turned out, but am not happy with the water, for this I used string which I repositioned every now and then. Does anyone one have any tips for creating water?

Cheers

if you mix oxygen and hydrogen in the correct formula you will had water, just kidding , the fish looks good enough to keep

Depending on what you are looking for in the final painting, For a more realistic water you would need reflection, as water is the color of whats around it. For a indication of water i would just use streaks of different blues and greens maybe some sillouette of coral in the background. Hope it helps.

Thank you,

As this is only a cartoon type piece, i really just need it give the impression of water. I shall try different combinations of blues and green.
