It's the little things

My intention all along was to add some kind of fun, colorful designs on the swim trunks. Some of my students suggested flies and that seemed like a good idea to me. That's what those little blobs are if you can't tell. I also painted the valves on the water wings. One is out and one is pushed in. I don't know why, but that's just how they are. It's good to avoid too much symmetry and that's important in a scene like this; the left side should not be a mirror image of the right. It was also time to start thinking about the bottom of the image where the frog is barely dipping his toes in the water. Reflections like this can be simple scribbles. They don't need too much precision. And for reflections, they should not be as bright or saturated as the item that's causing them.
