Description Finally, I uploaded this one here too, now you guys won't have to dig through my webpage for it anymore. Of course, ifyou find the layout irritating or difficult, then you can still use the one over there instead. It's basically the exact same thing , but without the fancy, dark framing device.

Even if I use PhotoshopCS4 myself,the tutorial is not program-specific (as my tutorials never are) and all you really need is a round paint brush with adjustable opacity-levels, a couple of layers and optionally some sort of smudge brush.
It is exected that you are at least somewhat familiar with whatever program you're using, as there's no "and this is how you make a new layer"-type of advice in the tutorial. That would kind of nullify the non-program-specific thing I've got going on here.

But hey, have fun!

Man, I've fallen in love with that font, Century Gothic. It's so...round and geometrical. Not the easiest to read, but sooo pretty.

I have waited for this tutorial...for over 5 years. Every other tutorial just wasn't doing it for me because water is such a hard subject, and observational just drives me mad.

So thank you, very, very much for this.

EXCELLENT tutorial... very useful and just plain fun to look at!
out of curiosity, what do you use to do your digital paintings? i'm looking into getting a Wacom, possibly...

MinnaSundberg In reply to akaDrJ [2012-01-13 16:24:24 +0000 UTC]

Thanks!

I'm using a couple of years old Wacom Intuos3 tablet, and I can wholeheartedly recommending getting a Wacom tablet if you like doing digital art. They're pricy as Wacom doesn't really have any real concurrents on the market, but their products do last for years without breaking. I actually ran the pen for my tablet under the stream of water from the faucet once (really weird brain freeze there, I went to wash my hands and forgot I still had the pen in my grip) The pen/tablet acted really weird for a couple of days, but then it recovered on its own and still works like a charm.

So, its an expensive but long lasting and useful investment.
