Draw the ocean, from flat calm to breaking surf

Draw the ocean in your browser with Morphic's Image tool by naming the sea state, where the horizon sits, and how much of the wave you want to break. Set the line weight, the tonal range and the crop on the Canvas, then download a finished ocean drawing in HD.

FAQs

How do I draw the ocean with AI?
Describe the water in the Image tool on Morphic: the sea state, the horizon height, whether a wave is breaking, and the medium. Morphic generates options and you refine the one that reads best.
How do I make water look like it is moving?
Movement comes from contrast between the lit crest and the dark trough. Ask for a curling lip, a hatched shadow beneath it, and spray left as bare paper rather than drawn in.
Where should the horizon sit in an ocean drawing?
A low horizon gives the sky the frame and reads open and calm. A high horizon fills the sheet with water and reads close and heavy. Say which one you want directly in the prompt.
Can I draw an ocean scene in colour?
Yes. Ask for coloured pencil or watercolour and name the colour run, such as turquoise shallows burnishing into deeper teal where the sandbar drops away.
Can I draw an underwater view instead of the surface?
Yes. Describe the camera as being below the surface, with light shafts angling down and the underside of the swell rippling overhead, and Morphic composes from that viewpoint.
Can I animate an ocean drawing?
Yes. Pass a finished drawing into Image to Video and the swell and foam pick up motion while the line work and tonal range stay as drawn.
