EARLY ACCESS // wave
Added 2021-09-08 08:23:01 +0000 UTC
I finally got around to finishing the wave painting that I started last year! I can’t believe the thumnbails have been lying around and gathering dust for so long! I included some process shots as well. It was a challenge painting the water in a way that felt stylized but also believable and adding depth, but it was a lot of fun too. Very soothing with the organic shapes! Hope you guys like it :)
thanks so much! i'll make it available as a print at some point down the line, but i want to wait until my book has been released since i included it in there as a special artwork :)

hey! I might release this as a print, but I want to wait until the new artbook has been released since I created it mostly for the book :) it will be released in june/july, so probably it will go up as a print some time after that!

thank you! they were mostly hand painted. that ended up being the easiest way to capture the blobby shapes, even though i tried a few different things before settling on that!

Cool to see the original concept and how it developed. I love the shapes in the water and how you so effectively conveyed the distortion of water in such a beautiful way. How do you create these beautiful shapes? Hand drawn? lasso tool? Other? Very inspiring.

i will definitely be making this one available as a print, yes! it might take a while because i want to keep it exclusive to the book initially, but eventually it will go up in my inrpnt shop.

This is stunning! I'm always mesmerised with how you manage to make materials as water and clouds look so yummy. Will this be available as a print?

I was trying to find out what was missing in my work and I realized it was the fact that I wasn’t actually making pieces I wanted to make/ finished pieces. Looking at this gave me a new goal!

This is very beautiful. I love the color choices! I can almost feel the sea foam and water that she’s touching. ❤️

What a great feeling you captured here - to be in the magical center of the most captivating part of a wave! The colors are excellent and I love the subtle shadows of sharks in the water above.
I have a slight critique, I hope this is alright... the hand reaching out is deformed in an uncomfortable way. It goes a bit beyond stylized stretching, and i think because it's a hand it's much more noticeable. My suggestion - make her ever so taller by extending the thigh area, to give that feeling of reach a tad more tension and realism.
Gorgeous work as always, thank you for sharing your process!

This feels like Avatar fan art in the best way. Your character, your idea, but it reminds me of water bending scenes from the show, and it suggests stories. Yes please! It draws me in!

hey nadia! i don't think i'll be participating, as I'm in need of a break. I might make some art for it but i'm not sure taking on a challenge would be a good idea. i'll be doing an inking tutorial this month though and i'll definitely talk through my supplies!

the lasso tool is so amazing for shapes like these! I draw them on the big wacom, yes (cintiq 27 inch).
Loish

i do believe that I recorded the whole process! I'll dig through my files and put a video together :)

What are your plans for inktober? I am hesitant to do drawings as a did 3 years in a row … I think you shared your ink supplies on Instagram, maybe good idea to copy it here? ((Unless you did that already)

Boy, you have really got that lasso tool DOWN for your thumbs. I need to play with that process more. Did you do this on your big wacom or something else? I have noticed when you use your large one you get those great looping shapes that both you and Eleeza do so well.
