an off-shoot from MerMay, continuing the sea theme and because of 29*'s thread on work in progress... here's a bit of progression on "Ocean Spray" (aka Lapping Waves)
Pencil drawing, freehand on paper from imagination. No mouse.
Horizon, I think I simply laid another sheet of paper over as a crude mask.
color added with airbrush tool on separate layer (set to multiply) in Photoshop.
may have used track pad, or mouse! Pretty sure that I did not bust out the tablet, as there does not appear to be any variation in line weight.
I like these!
