In this tutorial, I’ll take you behind the scenes of my creative process, showing you how I use Adobe Illustrator to create a realistic water texture entirely in a vector-based format. You’ll see step-by-step techniques for gradients, transparency, layering, and blending modes that bring water surfaces to life with depth and detail.

Whether you’re a beginner designer curious about Illustrator tools, or a more advanced artist looking for inspiration, this design tutorial is perfect for leveling up your vector art workflow. By breaking the process into clear steps, I’ll help you understand how to create stunning water effects, reflective highlights, and realistic ripples in your own projects.
