How to Draw Surf Art

Surf art comes in many forms and styles, but it tends to involve beach or ocean scenes, and surfers or other water sports. Colored pencils will allow you to illustrate the depths of the water with blues and greens.

Things You'll Need

• Colored pencils
• Eraser

Instructions

1. 

   Use a regular pencil to sketch out the primary objects in the drawing. This includes the parachute (for parasailing), surfer, surfboard and waves.

2. 

   Observe the drawing, and color in the lightest points first. Color in the light part of the waves in silver and the parachute in yellow.

3. 

   Color the water around the surfer a deep blue. Alternately, you can draw white areas around the surfer edged in dark blue to represent a stronger current. Towards the edge of the painting, color in the water a darker green. Color in the surfer and his surfboard.

4. 

   Draw curved lines in blue pencil to mark the waves in the ocean around the surfer. Shade in the parachute and draw the ridges in it as well.
