Artist's Comments

A lone swimmer breaks the surface of the pool with a couple of strokes.

I drew this in Xara X as usual, but I spent much longer than I usually spend on a picture. I split the drawing between several layers seperating the bottom of the pool and the surface reflections etc.

I had photographic reference for drawing the figure but the pool and the room are entirely constructed from imagination... possibly not a good idea...

splish, splash.

Pay attention to the reflections, and the water disturbance. One great vector. (Featured by `jnc)

I love the feeling you get when you are the first to swim in an absolutely smooth pool. I guess I wanted to capture this in an image. It was pretty daunting when I started but I took the drawing slowly and worked methodically and it came out ok.

:jawdrop: *cries* Why cant I be good at illustrator, or Xara, or whatever?? This is so good! Vector art is so hard, and this is almost perfect. :+fav: definately.
