Personally, I don't know how to swim but I really like the beach. Especially, I like scuba diving that I can discover the world of underwater. <br />
This time I tried to use gouache paint for my artwork. <br />
I researched some images on Google as well.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9500216@N02/8632160543/" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" title="images by chautrach, on Flickr"><img alt="images" height="240" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8244/8632160543_9808761d3d.jpg" width="275" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9500216@N02/8632160513/" title="turtle4 by chautrach, on Flickr"><img alt="turtle4" height="240" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8403/8632160513_018a049113.jpg" width="280" /></a><br />
<br />
First, I did draw a thumbnail of a turtle and tried to use a gouache paint on it.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9500216@N02/8633247520/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="909315_4638800083772_1029272158_n by chautrach, on Flickr"><img alt="909315_4638800083772_1029272158_n" height="300" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8395/8633247520_d351daec5e.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Second, I painted the actual artwork with the larger size.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9500216@N02/8633247868/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="907291_4638799883767_679727913_n by chautrach, on Flickr"><img alt="907291_4638799883767_679727913_n" height="375" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8403/8633247868_840689daab.jpg" width="500" /></a></div>
<br />
Next, I placed my artwork in Adobe Photoshop to adjust a little bit color on it.
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9500216@N02/8632180639/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Screen Shot 2013-04-08 at 12.03.06 PM by chautrach, on Flickr"><img alt="Screen Shot 2013-04-08 at 12.03.06 PM" height="232" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8519/8632180639_39158d3ebf_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
I also added an ocean background to fit with a turtle. I changed the blending option of a turtle to hard light as well.
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9500216@N02/8632185979/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Screen Shot 2013-04-08 at 12.05.04 PM by chautrach, on Flickr"><img alt="Screen Shot 2013-04-08 at 12.05.04 PM" height="308" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8106/8632185979_882d36a584.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Then, I used rising sun brush to make an effect on my background.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9500216@N02/8633293744/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Screen Shot 2013-04-08 at 12.05.18 PM by chautrach, on Flickr"><img alt="Screen Shot 2013-04-08 at 12.05.18 PM" height="310" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8259/8633293744_d039a299e3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Finally, I added some underworld plant and fishes into my artwork to make a complete version of my design.
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9500216@N02/8632185767/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Screen Shot 2013-04-08 at 12.05.27 PM by chautrach, on Flickr"><img alt="Screen Shot 2013-04-08 at 12.05.27 PM" height="308" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8124/8632185767_7ed49e4569.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
This is my complete artwork.

The first thought came to my mind was <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easter" target="_blank">Easter festival</a>. Especially I like a bunny so much.<br />
Therefore, I give a try to illustrate a bunny and an egg that is common on Easter (with made by chocolate inside which is my favor).<br />
First, I did some sketches to celebrate Easter festival.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9500216@N02/8631800473/" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" title="2013-04-08 16.29.13 by chautrach, on Flickr"><img alt="2013-04-08 16.29.13" height="240" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8122/8631800473_f2eb5ec3e5.jpg" width="320" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9500216@N02/8632906746/" title="2013-04-08 16.28.54 by chautrach, on Flickr"><img alt="2013-04-08 16.28.54" height="320" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8104/8632906746_03b0ddb676.jpg" width="240" /></a><br />
<br />
I found some references to support my idea as well.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9500216@N02/8632939618/" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" title="easter-bunny-and-eggs-vector5 by chautrach, on Flickr"><img alt="easter-bunny-and-eggs-vector5" height="320" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8529/8632939618_e88d8576e1.jpg" width="230" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9500216@N02/8631832943/" title="easter-bunny121206c by chautrach, on Flickr"><img alt="easter-bunny121206c" height="320" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8527/8631832943_3e57015542_n.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />
<br />
First, I illustrated a bunny holding a egg using Adobe Illustrator.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9500216@N02/8631857275/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Screen Shot 2013-04-08 at 8.58.50 AM by chautrach, on Flickr"><img alt="Screen Shot 2013-04-08 at 8.58.50 AM" height="400" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8525/8631857275_142ce184c7.jpg" width="271" /></a></div>
And I kept working on a bunny with completing the rest part of a bunny.
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9500216@N02/8632963980/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Screen Shot 2013-04-08 at 8.59.37 AM by chautrach, on Flickr"><img alt="Screen Shot 2013-04-08 at 8.59.37 AM" height="400" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8389/8632963980_c5e2893586.jpg" width="296" /></a></div>
Finally, I'm done with a bunny holding an egg.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9500216@N02/8632963916/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Screen Shot 2013-04-08 at 9.47.33 AM by chautrach, on Flickr"><img alt="Screen Shot 2013-04-08 at 9.47.33 AM" height="387" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8542/8632963916_78ee777b55.jpg" width="295" /></a></div>
I also did a background for my main image using Adobe Photoshop.
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9500216@N02/8631883685/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="lens flare by chautrach, on Flickr"><img alt="lens flare" height="300" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8400/8631883685_341ceaccfb_n.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Furthermore, I added "Happy Easter" in my design using some text effects in Adobe Photoshop.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9500216@N02/8633003040/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Screen Shot 2013-04-08 at 9.11.36 AM by chautrach, on Flickr"><img alt="Screen Shot 2013-04-08 at 9.11.36 AM" height="374" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8258/8633003040_fd74c3c20c.jpg" width="500" /></a></div>
<br />
This is my final design. Hope you will enjoy it and "Happy Easter".

It reminded me of a cute dog that I used to set for my desktop wallpaper.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9500216@N02/8626945790/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="cute-dog-eyeglasses by chautrach, on Flickr"><img alt="cute-dog-eyeglasses" height="270" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8119/8626945790_50fc074f73.jpg" width="400" /> </a></div>
<br />
Here are some references I found on the Internet about some animals wearing eye glasses.<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9500216@N02/8626959460/" title="Cat-CatWearingGlasses by chautrach, on Flickr"><img alt="Cat-CatWearingGlasses" height="197" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8528/8626959460_7e023e3db9.jpg" width="200" /></a>
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9500216@N02/8626959424/" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" title="mouse-animal-julos-eye-glasses-illustration-75461463 by chautrach, on Flickr"><img alt="mouse-animal-julos-eye-glasses-illustration-75461463" height="200" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8535/8626959424_9e338ed599.jpg" width="150" /></a> <br />
<br />
I also do the sketch for my design.
I like tiger and it is a wild animal in the world.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9500216@N02/8630019650/" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" title="909165_4635440519785_318411990_n by chautrach, on Flickr"><img alt="909165_4635440519785_318411990_n" height="320" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8241/8630019650_f2f2a14080.jpg" width="240" /></a>
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9500216@N02/8630019674/" title="908570_4635438399732_731818995_n by chautrach, on Flickr"><img alt="908570_4635438399732_731818995_n" height="320" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8524/8630019674_c47516331d.jpg" width="240" /></a>
<br />
<br />
First, I used Adobe Illustrator to make my background. It is like a "wild" background and perfect with a tiger.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9500216@N02/8625870779/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Screen Shot 2013-04-06 at 5.36.41 PM by chautrach, on Flickr"><img alt="Screen Shot 2013-04-06 at 5.36.41 PM" height="400" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8241/8625870779_13ce5c6f76.jpg" width="397" /></a><br />
Second, I drew a vector of tiger by using CorelDRAW. I also did it for my brewery company. So, I included a mug of beer in a tiger's mouth.
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9500216@N02/8625874147/" title="Screen Shot 2013-04-06 at 5.38.01 PM by chautrach, on Flickr"><img alt="Screen Shot 2013-04-06 at 5.38.01 PM" height="361" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8543/8625874147_38a942a89c.jpg" width="400" /> </a><br />
<br />
Next, I placed a tiger in a background to make it more stand out.
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9500216@N02/8626984140/" title="Screen Shot 2013-04-06 at 5.37.18 PM by chautrach, on Flickr"><img alt="Screen Shot 2013-04-06 at 5.37.18 PM" height="398" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8539/8626984140_6079f535fd.jpg" width="400" /></a><br />
<br />
Finally is the main image with the topic "Eye Glasses". I just simply used Adobe Illustrator to draw vector eye glasses, and placed it in a tiger as well.
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9500216@N02/8626984466/" title="Screen Shot 2013-04-06 at 5.38.27 PM by chautrach, on Flickr"><img alt="Screen Shot 2013-04-06 at 5.38.27 PM" height="398" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8533/8626984466_f854233d57.jpg" width="400" /></a><br />
<br />
I found it is really cute to put eye glasses on an animal.<br />
And here is the logo that I did for brewery company. <br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9500216@N02/8628941245/" title="Screen Shot 2013-04-07 at 12.59.32 PM by chautrach, on Flickr"><img alt="Screen Shot 2013-04-07 at 12.59.32 PM" height="487" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8387/8628941245_912177fa55.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />
Hope you will enjoy my design.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07295315981586376051noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597470153121609539.post-68217375535681042642013-03-17T20:57:00.000-07:002013-03-19T16:56:28.854-07:00TalentHi, it's time to keep working on <a href="http://illustrationfriday.com/" target="_blank">Illustration Friday</a> website with the topic is "Talent". To be honest, everyone all has a talent just because he/she doesn't know how to express it. For me, I don't have any specific talent that is good at something but I like creating stuffs on computer using some photoshop techniques. Therefore, "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statue_of_Liberty" target="_blank">The Statue of Liberty</a>" came into my mind. As we know, it is a universal symbol of freedom and democracy.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9500216@N02/8567699722/" title="2268882-the-statue-of-liberty-and-new-york-city-skyline-at-dark by chautrach, on Flickr"><img alt="2268882-the-statue-of-liberty-and-new-york-city-skyline-at-dark" height="212" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8105/8567699722_833896cf2c_n.jpg" width="320" /></a>
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9500216@N02/8567696748/" title="Statue of Liberty 1 by chautrach, on Flickr"><img alt="Statue of Liberty 1" height="212" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8233/8567696748_3d507c7b9d_n.jpg" width="150" /></a><br />
<br />
So, I just created a combination of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statue_of_Liberty">The Statue of Liberty</a> and a fabulous planet surface that shows "talent". Everyone needs freedom and not to be forced to do anything.<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9500216@N02/8567696350/" title="blue-planet-earth by chautrach, on Flickr"><img alt="blue-planet-earth" height="300" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8516/8567696350_e6fe3d98cc_n.jpg" width="400" /></a><br />
<br />
And here we go.
First, I created a planet surface background using Photoshop.
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9500216@N02/8566694791/" title="Screen Shot 2013-03-17 at 3.29.15 PM by chautrach, on Flickr"><img alt="Screen Shot 2013-03-17 at 3.29.15 PM" height="318" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8243/8566694791_1e87c74163.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />
<br />
Then I used brush tool to add some stars as well to make it more dramatic, and added lens flare effect to make the light coming out from the space.
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9500216@N02/8566694077/" title="Screen Shot 2013-03-17 at 3.29.45 PM by chautrach, on Flickr"><img alt="Screen Shot 2013-03-17 at 3.29.45 PM" height="319" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8229/8566694077_0d26413d0a.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />
<br />
The next step is I put some abstract colour to make the background more realistic and added the surface planet with some blending effects.
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9500216@N02/8566693303/" title="Screen Shot 2013-03-17 at 3.30.02 PM by chautrach, on Flickr"><img alt="Screen Shot 2013-03-17 at 3.30.02 PM" height="319" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8376/8566693303_7b7b8c856b.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />
<br />
Furthermore, I added two more planet surface and just scale them in probably size. That's everything about my fabulous planet surface background.
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9500216@N02/8566692853/" title="Screen Shot 2013-03-17 at 3.30.10 PM by chautrach, on Flickr"><img alt="Screen Shot 2013-03-17 at 3.30.10 PM" height="320" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8387/8566692853_30661afff9.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />
<br />
After done with the background, I was starting with my main image. But at first, I used some adjustment like curves, levels to change my background colour a little bit to make it more fantastic and standing out.<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9500216@N02/8566724835/" title="Screen Shot 2013-03-17 at 3.42.34 PM by chautrach, on Flickr"><img alt="Screen Shot 2013-03-17 at 3.42.34 PM" height="319" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8369/8566724835_ed52d7aab9.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />
<br />
After that, it is time to bring my main image to my background that I just created. And I added some lights (fire) by using brush tool effect.
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9500216@N02/8567822698/" title="Screen Shot 2013-03-17 at 3.43.05 PM by chautrach, on Flickr"><img alt="Screen Shot 2013-03-17 at 3.43.05 PM" height="319" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8245/8567822698_46567474f1.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />
<br />
For my last step, I just created some stones like water effects below the statue to make my main image standing out.<br />

And that is the topic from <a href="http://illustrationfriday.com/">Illustration Friday</a> "Talent". I hope you will like my design.

I found it is kind of interesting, and the first thought come to my mind was a butterfly.
I really like a butterfly with a nice shape and nice color as well.<br />
The following is some butterflies I found on the internet.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9500216@N02/8516810046/" title="The_Butterfly_Effect_by_Photo_shop_wizard by chautrach, on Flickr"><img alt="The_Butterfly_Effect_by_Photo_shop_wizard" height="313" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8518/8516810046_9dfbf6ac37.jpg" width="500" /></a>
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9500216@N02/8515696521/" title="butterfly_tattoo by chautrach, on Flickr"><img alt="butterfly_tattoo" height="388" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8089/8515696521_6674f0d7d5.jpg" width="360" /></a><br />
It looks really cool with the awesome effect. And I was trying to do something like that.<br />
<br />
First, I draw a vector butterfly using Illustrator.
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9500216@N02/8516821182/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="butterfly 1 by chautrach, on Flickr"><img alt="butterfly 1" height="413" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8112/8516821182_7652858738.jpg" width="249" /></a></div>
Furthermore, I placed it as a smart object in Photoshop. I used some cool effects like outer glow, some blending option effects to make a butterfly more stand out.<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9500216@N02/8516830290/" title="Screen Shot 2013-02-28 at 6.10.32 AM by chautrach, on Flickr"><img alt="Screen Shot 2013-02-28 at 6.10.32 AM" height="500" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8097/8516830290_96f770d5a3.jpg" width="482" /></a><br />
The next thing is I created the light background using the brush tool and some Free transform and changed the color using Hue/ Saturation to make some lines become obvious.<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9500216@N02/8515733423/" title="Screen Shot 2013-02-28 at 6.14.56 AM by chautrach, on Flickr"><img alt="Screen Shot 2013-02-28 at 6.14.56 AM" height="495" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8109/8515733423_9219964b1b.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />
<br />
I repeated this step by duplicating it. The result is I got more lighting lines. I also changed the color as well. And some of that line got more and more standing out.
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9500216@N02/8516852570/" title="Screen Shot 2013-02-28 at 6.19.45 AM by chautrach, on Flickr"><img alt="Screen Shot 2013-02-28 at 6.19.45 AM" height="488" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8384/8516852570_6a07bf2813.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />
<br />
Then, I drag a butterfly that I added effects on it into my background and changed the display mode to screen.
<br />

<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Lastly, I used the brush tool to create some smoke effects to make it like an abstract background.<br />

Here are some references I found for this topic.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9500216@N02/8530295710/" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="ocean by chautrach, on Flickr"><img alt="ocean" height="125" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8525/8530295710_594d7e4256.jpg" width="200" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9500216@N02/8530298686/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="ocean21 by chautrach, on Flickr"><img alt="ocean21" height="133" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8247/8530298686_0f2fbf47d1.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
<br />
These are the thumbnails from the illustration Friday website with the topic "Ocean"<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9500216@N02/8398786913/" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="thumbnail 2 by chautrach, on Flickr"><img alt="thumbnail 2" height="159" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8361/8398786913_3cea240edd.jpg" width="200" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9500216@N02/8399867600/" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="thumbnail by chautrach, on Flickr"><img alt="thumbnail" height="149" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8368/8399867600_fb2384a07d.jpg" width="200" /></a><br />
<br />
The first thing came into my mind when I thought about "Ocean" is the sea, so I drew the sea with dolphins jumping as well hot air balloon to make the sea more interesting.<br />
Also, on my second thumbnail I want to draw the waves with the bottle on the sea.<br />
<br />
<i>P/S: I played the apps call "wechat" recently and I like it very much. On the apps we can pick a bottle to make a new friend, so that idea came up to my mind:)</i><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
And I created the other thumbnail for "Ocean" topic. I found that much more easier to describe "Ocean" is underwater. So, I chose this one to go with. I just did a rough sketch for that.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9500216@N02/8442068398/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="ocean 3 by chautrach, on Flickr"><img alt="ocean 3" height="300" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8224/8442068398_6405cc252f.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
For my final design, I did stuffs on Photoshop.<br />
<br />
First, I used gradient tool to create the underwater scene. Also, I found the gravel image and put it in the ocean bottom.
Then, to obtain the water-like texture I applied Glass Filter and created some "dots" effect as well to make it more dramatic.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9500216@N02/8442247468/" title=""Ocean" work by chautrach, on Flickr"><img alt=""Ocean" work" height="348" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8079/8442247468_cf4b0c920e.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />
<br />
Next, I used Crystallize filter to make the reflection on the ocean floor.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9500216@N02/8442257324/" title=""Ocean" work by chautrach, on Flickr"><img alt=""Ocean" work" height="353" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8095/8442257324_4c3331f396.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />
<br />
Then, I created the light from above by using Polygonal Lasso Tool.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9500216@N02/8442247070/" title=""Ocean" work by chautrach, on Flickr"><img alt=""Ocean" work" height="345" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8224/8442247070_d51d2487ce.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />
<br />
I also used brush tool to draw a boat.<br />
<br />

<br />
Finally, I added "BE FREE" by using some text effects. I used this word because "FREE" is the factor that everybody all hope, especially when you swim, you can feel free...and it is related to "Ocean"...:)<br />
<br />

<br />
For my final design I used brush tool to create the smoke as well...and here we are...<br />
