Here’s a quick step-by-step showing how I made one of the wave studies from the previous post. The main thing I want to show with this is that the overall shape and movement is the most important thing when adding detail! If you make sure that the smaller details align with the overall movement, they feel like a part of the shape, rather than distracting from it. And in essence a wave is a very simple shape. Hope you enjoy and have an amazing weekend everyone!!

This is a great tutorial, so clear and concise! You make it seem so easy when you break it down this way 😄

The timing for this is just perfect! I am preparing to do some ocean/wave illustrations atm 👏🏻☺️

This is such a great break down! 🌊

thank you! in general i find that simplifying things as much as possible, and then adding the detail at the very end, works best :)

Yes! Thank you so much! I was wondering how to go about this for a drawing. This helps out so much, thank you!

Hello everybody! New here, and I have a question are you to these steps on separate layers? If I missed that I’m sorry but when you do your step-by-step‘s can you let us know when you’re adding a new layer? Your steps are very easy to follow, I just want to make sure I’m doing it on the right layer. Thank you so much, and great job!

Loish

hey melvin! thanks so much for your support!! so here's a basic breakdown of the layers: in step 1, i've got two layers: the sketch and the base color. In step 2, i've got three: the sketch, base color, and foam. same for step 3, and by step 4, i've merged it all together and am working from layer only. hope this helps!!

I’m new here also and was curious how you created the gradient in step one I can see the two different colors. I’m new to digital paint so I haven’t invested in any of the brushes your use/ recommend but I was having a difficult time trying to find a similar brush on the standard brushes in procreate. Is there a set of brushes that you would recommend from your list for someone who is new to digital art? Do you also have a post/ video explaining how to create a gradient image? Sorry... I know these are super basic/noob questions but thought I’d asked if the answers where here before going to YouTube. 🙈

hey zak! no worries, this is the place to ask! so for your first question, the gradient from step one was created by just selecting an area and using the circular gradient to apply some softer gradations. so in this case, i selected the bottom part of the wave and added a gradient there, then selected the top part separately to add a different gradient there. in procreate, there's no gradient tool so you'd have to draw it in with a brush and then blur it. I am creating a tutorial this month that talks more about this, so stick around for a little bit and you'll see the post with that tutorial going up before the end of the month! as for the brushes, here are the ones I like to use, including procreate ones: https://www.patreon.com/posts/step-by-step-i-34615265

Nice, I recently did a tsunami piece for a client, pretty much followed Same process… made the breaking wave shapes sharper though, they wanted it to show a huge force engulfing everything. It makes me feel validated I’m on the right track seeing this.
