Step 41

The last step for the fish is to add a highlight to the eye using the dodge tool on shadow mode.

Step 42

If you wish to create more fish, follow the same steps but vary the color and shape of the body and fins. Even making small changes like those will give you all kinds of beautiful fish!

(I created a single gold fish and copied and pasted it is several different places. I also made a few larger and on different planes (i.e. layers), and they did a great job of tying the image together.)

Step 43

Make a new layer at the top of th scene and title it “bubble”.

Step 44

The first thing you want to do is turn off shape dynamics, and then create a pure white circle on the “bubble” layer.

Step 45

Then erase one side and the center of the bubble with a soft round eraser set to 33% opacity.

Step 46

The last step is to copy and paste the bubble all over the image. By varying the size and rotating the bubble (Ctrl + c), you can make it look like there are all kinds of bubbles in your seascape.

(It is very important that every so often during this process you merge the layers back down to the “bubble” layer, otherwise you will end up with thirty to forty new layers.)
