So, I go to a Voc/tech school, and I'm in Graphic Arts. My teacher made us do and ocean scene on photoshop, and we had 3 days to do it. So I came across this, memorized it, changed the colors a bit, made some fish, annnnnnd I got an A, so thanks for making this!

wow, i'm glad my art skills are up to par with classes offered in a graphic arts degree. i would try and make it up yourself next time tho, that's sort of like cheating, isn't it?

I suppose, I didn't mean it that way though, lol. I even told my teacher. I said, "I got this from a cool tutorial on this website." He made me show him, and now he's addicted to deviantart. It was weird, and he's weird, so I didn't ask questions. Thanks again, though.

I just got a new tablet, and I've always enjoyed drawing underwater subjects such as fish and mermaids. This tutorial will be very helpful in providing a background for my subjects!

Thanks a bunch for this Tutorial! It's the first one of all the ones I have looked at that I have actually tried to do. I need some work on the bigger rays, but I just did a quick job on it, so I can't expect my best effort. Thanks again!

And here all this time I was trying to draw water backgrounds by hand XD

Thanks a lot! This will help me a lot! (And would it work using other colors just for fun? Not for underwater or any real place, but a cool background.)

Dragonwolfsprirt [2009-05-03 02:23:00 +0000 UTC]

i'm very new to gimp. what is a dodge tool? i now what a burn tool is, though. are they the same thing on diffrent settings?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Evelwyn In reply to Dragonwolfsprirt [2009-05-22 18:20:32 +0000 UTC]

This was done on Ps, although I prefer Gimp. The dodge tool is the exact opposite of the burn tool; it lightens things. And for this tutorial, on GIMP, you'd have to fool around with things, you can't actually do what the Ps tuts tell you :/ Which is too bad.

kdude63 In reply to Evelwyn [2009-09-21 15:34:26 +0000 UTC]

GIMP is a lot easier to use when you get the hang of it, but Ps is waaaaayyyyyyy moooree capable.
