The most important thing about being able to draw something is understanding what you're drawing and why it looks like that. How does it function? Draw with intention.

Water doesn't have a fixed shape, but it has weight and moves accordingly. Water moves in a jerky motion and splashes in a violent manner. Water is fluid, but when it hits anything, it literally creates waves, it has a lot of momentum.

The look of water varies on how much you can see through it, how clear it is, where it is as in what is it reflecting (ocean floor, the sky, swimming pool tiles etc.), how deep is it and so on.

Swimming pools are very clear, you can see far into the water and it's almost like looking at glass

In the sea / lakes deeper water is darker and harder to see into -> the shore is shallow and you can see more into the water

Lighting and the sky affect the look of water a lot, the water is always reflecting the sky in some way.

Time of day and weather -> how dark the water is in relation to the sky

Low sun -> creates highlights on the water (early morning, sunset, sunrise..)

Underwater lighting is always darker and in shadow. Even on a bright day there are heavy shadows. The light is mostly at the top, close to the surface and the rest of the light scatters towards the bottom as pillars of light.

Variety in color is important to bring the water to life!!! A wave or water is never just blue, it's a collection of hues..!

Phew, so there's some thoughts, we'll be here all week if I keep going, there's such an infinite amount of things to point out, but I hope this helps a bit!

Well. I am rather pleased with him. Hope you'll like him as well, folks 🩶

Gale as the Evening Start from Alphonse Mucha ✨

Yes I know, I know, Mystryl is technically dead at this time, but she was still (as Mystra is now) the embodiment of the Weave, so I put her old symbol instead of the newest Mystra one, as a marker of Gale's love for magic, rather than Mystra herself. And I've swapped the original design from Mucha to have a good view of the orb.

Once Upon A Witchligh comic adaption, beginning of Episode 26.

Aka, one of the very few times in the series Torbek has an ok time lol

Guess what I was working on for all of January. And part of February. And some of March. This was a ton of work and you will find me crumpled under a rock somewhere for a while because of it

There was something about this scene that was very visually vibrant to me, and I really enjoyed the way the information was revealed and played out, which is why I chose to adapt it! I started this purely as a way to practice thumbnailing and start my comics year of with something self indulgent and fun. However, I experienced so much genuine joy in the process (plus my discord friends dared me to finish it), it turned into an exploration of what a potential "publishing style" comic process might look like for me... I learned a ton from making this and will approach comics in a far better way in the future🤣 Like. I did this in the most complicated and time consuming way fr

Thank you very much for reading. I hope you enjoyed it ❤️

BONUS: (I decided to omit this moment even tho it's iconic because I didn't like the way it interrupted the flow 😭A pittance for thee)
