![]() It essentially looks like a stringy chain-link fence that’s loosely floating on the surface of the water. There is no shortage of ocean wave pictures that give you an idea of what this looks like. The easiest part of seeing what sea foam looks like in waves is easier when looking at crashing waves’ pics. But to draw seafoam is going to require some pointers that will help you get a realistic look. The seawater that hits rocks and is mixed together with sediment will create frothy-looking patterns in the waves. This is because the gradual shoreline is shallower than it will be in open waters. As the waves are often minimal (far off the coast), they gain momentum and are forces to crash at the shore as they reach the shore. These waves are carried across the ocean through winds and random weather patterns. The ocean is a powerful source of endless energy that comes from crashing waves. Here is how you can get this effect when drawing waves that are frothing-up from the surf. Learning how to draw seafoam isn’t as difficult as you think it might be. See the four sketches below: Different types of wavesĭon’t forget about hollow waves, freight-trains, slow-churning or paper-thin waves.Drawing in pencil has an advantage with certain organic shapes we see in nature. ![]() It could be a reef pass, a beach break or a point break Add land in the background or in the foreground to give the scene some depth. With perspective, you can now create line-up scenes, with multiple waves. The two vanishing points are positioned way out to the right and left: A down the point viewĪ view looking down the point can also be achieved by moving these ingredients around: Various scenes Both vanishing points are located outside of the image border, one to the left and one to the right: A bird’s eye viewĪ bird’s eye view can be accomplished by moving the horizon line up and completely off the image. And if you move the vanishing point to the right then more of the face becomes visible (see last two images below): A view from a pierĪ high horizon line with two vanishing points off to the right and left makes it appears as though you’re viewing the wave from a pier, looking down on the wave: A paddler’s eye viewĪ paddler’s eye view can be accomplished by placing the horizon line extremely low. Give it a try: A view out of the tubeĪ high horizon line and one vanishing point on the left makes it look as if your face is against the face of the wave and you’re racing for daylight (see first two images below). Vanishing point left: A view into the tubeĪdditional variations can be achieved by moving the horizon line high or low and by moving the vanishing point right or left. See the two sketches below: A paddler’s view By merely changing the position of these ingredients in your image you’ll be amazed at the variety of waves you can create. The two basic ingredients in perspective are the horizon line (your eye level) and the imaginary vanishing points. There is only one way to successfully create a variety of angles and that is by using the basic principles of perspective. The key to breaking out of this potential rut is achieved by drawing waves from different angles.
