Right. (Plan A). This is the original render. As you can see the boat is dead in the water and Terragen's sea gets nowhere as rough as I want it to be. Sky's crap too. So, start over. Tilt the whole thing to begin with, re-angle the boat to a more acceptable position and put a new set of clouds in, modifying the lighting as I go along, to highlight the boat. I tried creating a very lowering sky, but that obscured the sun. No good, so back to square one. This time it let the light through and gave the boat some substance. The boat itself then required an overhaul, which it duly got. No point in going further with the water until the boat looked a bit better. Now came the clever bit. The stormy sea. If you cannot get on with the Wacom pen and tablet you'll never get to the drawing stage in Photoshop. Mice are for cats, not drawing. Water, to say the least is a tedious thing to draw. I used to know one of the very best seapiece artists, Montague Dawson, no less and he told me the only way to draw and paint water is to look at it for a long time and get the foamy effect quite clear in your head. Ergo, I got stuck in and you can see the result. Patience is not only a virtue, 'tis a necessity.
