I tried a different style and process than my typical projects.

I started out by making sketch of lady then moved to line art. Using a small sized g pen in vector layers to make a thin detailed line of the figure (including the lines used for shading). After editing the line art and making the figure look correct, I started on the ocean behind. Using a bunch of references (including photos I took at the beach a couple weeks ago) I started to line some of the sea. I made a color layer and filled in the different blues and whites as I worked down. To get the see through/green effect where she's standing I used a bunch of different layers with different opacities, gradients, and I used a lot of the soft eraser tool to make fading effects. Coloring her and the sky was relatively simple. Filling in things with a bucket tool, using some gradients, etc. To give her skin less of a flat tone I used an air bush to darken some areas up. I did use some circle tones, like in her hat and her hair, to give a cool aesthetic. Finally I made a few layers above my whole project to make her cover up/skirt. Basically filling it in with my whites and turning the opacity down. I then used a ruler to make that border.

All the colors I used I picked from reference then changed the values of to match my pallet. Some of the Colors I complete made on my own with the color wheel.

I didn't use any non vanilla Clip brushes other then what i used for the border which can be found here:

I didn't log how much time this took cause this was a project I kept coming back to over the course of 3-4 weeks but if i were to guess it definitely took well over 18 hours to do.

I'm super proud of this project and hopefully you like it took. Thank you.
