How to Paint Waves and Water in Procreate: Drawing Seaside Landscape Illustration

To bring you closer to the tranquil feeling of holidays, in this class, I will take you step by step through illustrating a stylized landscape of a beautiful seaside with turquoise waters and calming waves. 

Like many of you, I love to create environments for the stories and characters, and I want to show you how to bring the essence of the environment to your audience. 

In this class, you will learn:

• Quick tips about layouts and composition
• What brushes to use to paint water
• How to paint water, ocean, and waves using blending techniques

• How to use real-life references to add details and characters

After taking this class you will have a lovely seaside illustration that you can print out for your home or give to your family or friends as a nice holiday card.

I will be using Procreate app on my iPad, but feel free to use any drawing software or medium you prefer.

You will find a link to the mood board with photo references, line art sketch to follow along if you want, and color swatches for Procreate and other drawing software in the resources section. 

Let’s get started - see you at the beach… I mean … in the class :)
