Description I sketched this the other day from a picture I took when I was in SWC in 2005. Today I scanned it, and worked on it in PS for about 8 hours, so this is the fastest I've able to spit something out in PS. I'm dedicating this to because that's why I felt inspired and capable of completing this task, her work is beautiful, and it inspires me to become better and push my limits as an artist .

AquaOrca In reply to Oracle88 [2010-05-29 02:17:06 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! I did this over a year ago, I don't remember the specifics of the water, I know I played with motion blur and the plastic filter . I usually try to draw water a different way for every new piece I do.

I'm just totally speechless about this one, it's so amazingly realistic! Could you please try to explain to me how you can make that relfection on an orca's back realistic? because everytime I try it, it looks like you have a half grey orca XD

AquaOrca In reply to namu-the-orca [2010-01-08 19:53:53 +0000 UTC]

Thank you .

Oh boy, I'll have to think back for this one...One reason I did well with this is because I had my own picture reference. I suppose the trick is to #1 study pictures #2 use different colors. I used a lot of light purples in this and a little bit of light tan/yellow. The real trick too is getting it to look wet.

That water is...delicious

Everything about it is perfect; I especially love the dorsal shading, the chin patch toning, and the little rush of water behind his pec.

all the ripples - that must have taken a really long time to do!
He looks pretty real. And so tiny He is growing up fast.
