Flexible Realityby ~underwatertoons

Fan Art / Cartoons & Comics / Traditional / Movies & TV

Ever go back to one of your old drawings and decide you want to revisit the subject matter?

Looking at this drawing from December 2007 [link] , I suddenly had an urge to draw Marge underwater in the kitchen again. Only this time, I implemented a few new techniques. First of all, I tried my hand at a much more realistic underwater pose, one that made it look like she was not only really floating, but also kicking her legs to stay in one spot. Then I tried my new Paintbrush shading method. I also used my new transparent bubble trick.

And then, after all that, I spontaneously decided to try a new method for making a scene look like it's underwater - a full-screen Gaussian Blur effect, coupled with my previous method of a semi-transparent layer of flat blue. It all combines together to make what I consider to be one of my finest-looking underwater drawings yet! What do you think?

It definitely works to convey the sense of her being underwater!

How does she breathe, I think sooner or later your gonna have to be drawing dead bodies floating around, Im pretty sure even toons can't hold their breath forever, lol

Again, I hope I'm not offending anyone, the one who obsess with water has no fear when polar ice cap melts.

I like fluidity, no pun intended I swear to God, that you use when you draw simpsons fan art. Its gives it a sense of movement and animation. I remember a pic you made of Homer pushing a box into a mail...box...thing (whatever you call them)and I was so impressed beause it looked like he was actually actively shoving the box. Nice.
