PART 50 SPECIAL!! :0

Oh boy, this took a long time. Someone requested I do a water tutorial so I thought, why not. I dunno what I'm doing. Hopefully this all LOADSSSSSS.

!Disclaimer!
I am by no means of the word an expert. I think y'all know that. Don't take me too seriously. I'm a self taught child •~•
I don't know the technical terms for many things so people smarter than me, please go easy on me. It's water, c'mon people ://

Oki soooooooooooo, les go

Before we start I wanna say I'm working in Procreate. I use the Studio Pen, Soft Brush, and Medium Blend. Any brush that has a hard edge and softer edge will probably work.

I'm working off this photo that was in my previous chapter

((:

Start!

Okaaayyy, step 1
First things first, you need a base and a base color. Get the shapes you want fleshed out and all that jazz. I would've made the base color darker but I'm in a rush sooooooo... make it whatever color you want. ((:

So already, step 2.
I do these lighter colored bubbly things inside the base, usually two ovals next to each other. No real pattern, but go with what feels good.
I lower the opacity, then... please follow me, I use the base color and a soft brush to make a kind of fade on the bubbles... like this

If that makes sense.

Step 3
More, lighter bubbly things inside the bubble things. Almost white but not really. Add them where you want. Then I lower the opacity down to about 35%.

Like that ^^^

Step 69: Shading
I used a purplish color to shade. Depending on where your light source is, your shading will differ
Let's say the light source is here...

You would probably shade opposite to where light is shining. Or not, I dunno how water really works. I do aesthetic ((:
Don't worry about making the shading too dark, just get about where you want it to be, the turn down the opacity. I went to 80%

Almost can't tell the difference.
Next

Step 5: Shines💖
Nows the fun part, at least for me. Using white, make little shines where you think the light would reflect the most.
Don't worry about going over the previous bubbles. I think it adds dimension.

And boom, you have something that resembles water kinda.

Extras

Ok, 1
I duplicated the shine layer, lowered the opacity and shifted it over some just to add a little something more
2
I used the soft brush to brush white on the edges to make it brighter (this can be applied to all blobs)
And 3
Probably for procreate users only but there is a literal water brush, so I brushed over the blobs and lowered the opacity

AND DONE
woooooo this was a trip
I need to go do homework now
Any questions? Comment and I'll answer best I can ((:

I sincerely hope you enjoy and thanks for following me through 50 chapters((:

Y'all are amazing💕
