Progress on this has been slow to say the least. I still haven't figured out the background yet. I'm probably going to keep this a black and white lineart only and hopefully the next rebound of this will be the completed piece.
If anyone has any ideas on how I can tackle the reflection in the water without resorting to gaussian blurring the lines I'd love to hear it.
Hate to do this but shameless plug again! Check out the Skillshare class I'm teaching later this month if you haven't already and use the code DRIBDRIB to get $5 off enrollment!
@Jesse Penico Thanks man. @Justin Rent I haven't really been keeping track since it's kind of a semi-personal project that I'm cooking up for someone. But I would say about... 15-20 hours...? is a good estimate.
Nuts. RE the reflection, you could try dashed strokes, but it might get busy... Otherwise, a lighter line weight with progressive / random line breaks usually works for me.
Re. the reflections, I'm just gonna throw this random Monet painting in here - the reflections are essentially the exact same as the objects, but with a bunch of thick horizontal lines over them. I have no idea whatsoever how/if it'd translate over to a line drawing, but I just thought I'd chuck it in the mix.
For the reflection, maybe a different stroke width and have the lines have some motion to it, like if they were wavy to represent it being in the water.

This is incredible!
For the reflection maybe a different stroke brush would do the trick?
