How to draw water surface step by step

If you draw the water surface, you can also draw the sea!

It is difficult to draw an irregular shape among natural objects. Isn't it difficult especially because the shape of water is not fixed? Even if you say water in a bite, there are water drops, water coming out of faucets and hoses, but it is quite difficult to draw water like that.

So let's draw water where the surface of the sea is important, not from such difficult water! It is very important to say that the water surface is also called “random”, but unlike other natural objects, the water surface can be attracted quite beautifully even to some extent.



In other words, anyone can produce a beautiful sea as long as the key points are suppressed.

What is beautiful water surface

Unless it is a distant view, the beautiful surface of the water and the sea surface shines with reflection of light. In the case of an illustration, we draw beautiful water by describing the light excessively. In particular, the net pattern on the surface of the water is an indispensable and indispensable item.

And this water net pattern is the point that must produce the most random feeling of this time. To be honest, there is no other difficult point. In short, if you draw even here, you can produce a beautiful sea.

Draw a network of water

There are many things that do not work well even if you rely on brushes to enjoy the water pattern. After all, the person who draws himself blends well with the illustration, and it becomes beautiful. When drawing a mesh, it is recommended to create a perspective line to draw randomness.

First, draw HL horizontally and decide about two VPs (vanishing points). The image has another VP to the right.


After VP is decided, draw a perspective line and draw a large square so that it looks visually square. Also, make a small square grid inside.


If you can, draw a diagonal line and make an intersection with HL. This completes the water surface parsing line.

Draw a pattern


I will draw along Perth. Is it something like a broken circle? It's easy to understand if you think it's like a stone stick. First, draw a large circle at random from the front.


Fill the gap with a smaller circle. Just repeat this. I need patience, but I will do my best to draw it.


The thinner you go, the thinner it will look. Also, the farther you go, the harder you can see. When drawing with actual colors, it is better to use a fingertip tool or the like.

Be careful when painting water

The water surface pattern is also important, but the color is very important. When painting, do not always paint with one color, but mix three or more colors. Also, colors that are close to the light source are brightened. When painting a water surface mesh pattern, use an airbrush with an addition layer. Let's apply with the airbrush based on the rough explained earlier.

In addition, the water surface pattern is made more beautiful by creating a shadow separately from the part reflected by light. Shadows are created by multiplication and are more appropriate than the glowing part.

Give a sense of depth to the water

Actually, there is not much water that is completely transparent.


Copy and paste the mesh pattern


When layer mode is set to screen and a little blur is applied


Slightly shift or reverse the position so that it does not overlap with the surface water pattern. This alone gives a sense of depth and transparency.

It is difficult to draw an irregular shape, but if you keep down the points, you can blur or cheat with colors.
