How to Draw a Picture of an Underwater Sea
Drawing an underwater sea picture is a matter of drawing what is seen underwater. Just as in drawing a landscape, the artist looks for shapes, light and shade. Instead of drawing oval shapes for a rock, draw oval shapes for sea coral. Current may be depicted the same as wind by having plant life, like kelp, bending against the flow of the current. An artist can create underwater scenery without adding anything above or showing the line where water meets the surface.
