Vibrant Depths: A Study of an Underwater Coral Reef

This illustration is a study of an underwater coral reef, capturing the dynamic interplay of light, color, and movement beneath the ocean’s surface. My focus was on the way sunlight filters through the water, casting dappled patterns on the corals and marine life. I explored the rich diversity of coral formations, their organic textures, and the way they contrast with the fluidity of the surrounding water. This piece was an exercise in understanding underwater color shifts, atmospheric perspective, and the delicate balance of light and shadow that defines the ethereal beauty of the deep sea.
