If ur okay with it can u explain how in ur new piece (which is astonishing btw like woah it's so gorgeous) u went about the water? More specifically I've never been able to figure out how artists draw characters or objects partially submerged in water like link is in the picture and how they colour that, could u explain it pls?
Sure thing! I think there are many different ways of doing it; the way I did it is pretty simple and probably not entirely ideal if you’re going for something very realistic, haha!I basically just added a layer over Link and Zelda where I wanted the water to go, set it to Screen, and added some extra effects. I made a gif to show how it looks:
Then ofc I’ve done a bunch of color correcting in Photoshop, but I didn’t really do much else to make it look like water;;
