Description Inspired by the comments left on "Days of Wine and Jo-ses", I'm endeavoring to improve my underwater artwork in as many ways as possible. First up: the hair. I've never really felt comfortable with the way I've drawn underwater hair in the past, and I created a new character as an excuse to practice it: professional scuba diver Valerie White, whose long blond hair is one of her most recognizable features (well, that and her bright purple wetsuit). Here she is clearing her dive mask on the ocean floor - you can expect to see her in other aquatic scenarios in the future.

Are we expecting more of her underwater in the near future? If so, we're looking forward to.

Can she still see underwater without her dive mask?

I'm currently going through all the old messages on the AF board, and checking links and stuff for things that I'd miss and found myself here.

I don't know if I already commented on this one, but I like it so much! (scuba fan, you know...) :3

I figure the hair would be the easiest thing to do...just let it flow everywhere, no?

There's one way to clear it: surfuce, then remove it.

Nice work on the hair ,and the tint gives it a nice under watery feel. If you have photoshop I'd play around with some spot light effects in the upper half of the background to give it a sunshine through the water effect.

You've got a good eye for underwater. The fluff and flow of her hair looks very realistic to the resistance the water is giving.

Interesting. I don't think I've ever attempted drawing something underwater.

It takes practice, believe me. I've been drawing underwater scenes for a while now, and it was years before I could even get the hair and bubbles to look somewhat convincing.

So...what if I drew a bald guy with no lungs?

That'd be taking the easy way out, wouldn't it?

KotaOtan [2007-02-28 18:47:23 +0000 UTC]

The hair looks good. I never had much of a problem with your hair before so it still looks good now.
Also, the water tone on the skin looks much better than the green you were using. Kudos on that one!
Lastly, WOW thems big!
