This is a digital painting tutorial on how to draw a quick and easy small waves on water using custom brushes in Adobe Photoshop.

I'm using Photoshop CC in this tutorial but the brushes and most of the tools I use can be used in many other versions and even other drawing programs.  The tablet I'm using in this video is a Wacom Cintiq 24 HD.

Hang out with me on my Discord Server!  All are welcome!  discord.gg/tsaoshin

Created with Adobe Photoshop CC
