A Quick and Easy way to draw Ocean Waves.

 

Step 1. From the "Things" main menu, select 'Water Waves'. Set the current color to the darker color you desire for you water. Set the previous color to a close but lighter color for your waves. Draw a small patch of waves as shown in the first sample below.

Step 2. From the "Edit" main menu, select 'FreeForm Copy'. Using slight up and down mouse movements to avoid straight lines, copy a section of water as shown in the second example above. The avoidance of straight lines allows subsequent paste actions to be seamless.

Step 3. From the "Edit" main menu, select the 'Stretch and Resize Image' function. Beginning at the bottom left of the screen, stretch upwards 2 or 3 inches and then drag to the right side of the screen and release mouse key.

Step 4. Beginning just below the top of the water you just pasted, repeat the above process. Continue repeating that process until your ocean is complete.
