@theartcoach: Tap the link in my bio to start the drawing drills course. Water becomes much easier to draw when you stop thinking about “water” and start thinking about movement and structure. In this drawing, the waves begin as ribbons. Large flowing shapes that twist, overlap, and move through space. Once that structure feels believable, the smaller textures and splash details can be layered on top. That order matters. Most artists jump straight into texture and random marks. The result usually feels chaotic because the underlying motion was never solved first. Big shape first. Flow second. Texture last. The splashes, ripples, and foam only work because they’re sitting on top of a strong directional form underneath. That’s one of the biggest benefits of simplified shape training. It gives you a clear foundation before the complexity gets added.
