WIP Wednesday - Aquarium

I've been working on this while my computer takes forever to reinstall absolutely everything. This is a combination of Photoshop and Painter - I'm using Photoshop to add the textures and I'm using Painter for the rest (mechanical pencil, cover pencil and soft blender stump).

This is my first time using textures. I still have a bit of work to do on the pebbles/rocks but I am so happy with how they look so far and I can't believe I haven't tried textures before. I'm going to add gravel to the left of the image because I think that blue patch at the bottom looks a bit too empty, so that's not in the image yet, but the fish are scribbled and the grass is scribbled. The grass will have to be drawn blade-by-blade because as you can see, the ends of my brushstokes aren't very grass-like.

Stone and granite textures came with an Imagine FX DVD and are from Vyonyx. I've used two textures for every pebble/rock.
