Waves are mathematically precise in the way they fall over. HOW they fall over depends on many variables, including the size, strength and direction of the swell, the wind velocity and direction in relation to the wave, how the wave hits the shore – or, more importantly, what’s BELOW the water’s surface, on the reef or sandy bottom of the ocean. Regardless, the way a wave breaks is STILL mathematically precise.

It’s this mathematical precision that led me to decide to use the power of vectors within Illustrator to release this beauty in another format. The wave spray was painted in Painter and the whole shebang combined and finished off in Photoshop. The original photo was of a wave on Phillip Island, Victoria, Australia. Beautiful place.
