backing

After I drew out the main image for my anchors design I needed to add a waved background, I started off by looking at japanese waves and tattoo art to gain some ideas of how I could incorporate the two images together in the same style.

After I had made a rough template I added some thick blue lines for the depth of the waves

After that was complete I overlaid the original lines with a deeper colour of blue to create a background which stood out.

Once that was complete I used a creamy colour to colour in the top of the waves and the splashes.

I added a darker grey and some highlights in the cream waves to make them stand out more, there was only one thing left to do after all this.

Which was incorporate both images together, Im not sure wether the composition is a little out or whether the colours are wrong but the images didn't go to well together in my opinion and it was missing something, but it may well be the pirate ship which ties everything together.
