FAQs

How do I draw ocean waves?
Start with the curve of the wave face rising from the water, then add the curling lip at the top and foam where it breaks. Smaller waves behind it give the sea depth.
How do I draw foam and spray?
Leave the paper white or use white gel pen for foam, with small broken shapes along the crest. A few loose dots above the crest suggest spray.
How do I show light through a wave?
Make the thin lip of the wave lighter and slightly green or turquoise, with the base of the wave darker. That contrast makes the water look translucent.
What medium works best for an ocean waves drawing?
Watercolor handles the flow of water naturally. Graphite and charcoal suit dramatic storm waves, and pastel suits soft sunset seas.
Can I animate an ocean waves drawing?
Yes. Use Image to Video on the finished drawing to add rolling waves and drifting spray for a short looping clip.
Can I make a set of seascape drawings?
Use Style Transfer to hold one look, then draw waves, a cliff and a beach in the same medium and palette.
