How the fuck do I draw water like this?
Use black, white, blue and grey and let most of the underlying color come through.
christ that's such over-rendered shit to be paired with such a flat, cartoony face
Like how you indicate any other material... You make studies and then try to apply what you learnt in your own work. Study both from photos and art you want to emulate

not op but are there any good refs/tips to the science behind it and light but in a drawing sort of way?
all the ones ive seen dont explain, just have pictures of their process

Google refraction. Splashing water looks pretty much like a glass sculpture midair, it bends light similarily.

Why does looking at that water make me extremely thirsty?
>>2417582
because you're probably thirsty

Some still life paintings with glass objects thrown in will help. If you look at the water in the OP you'll see that the darker areas in it are painted with a color very similar to those used in the swimsuit. The same refraction(bending) of light can be seen in pretty much all glass objects, but since they are generally more uniform in shape (assuming you paint a glass cup or bottle etc) its a lot less chaotic.

Yeah, the very high level of detail in the water, bottle, and swimsuit looks really bizarre with the simple, relatively flat skin and hair.
>>2417434
how do you go about getting that type of texture like on that bathing suit and to a lesser extent the skin? it feels grainy but in a very smooth, controlled fashion

A textured brush and smart placement of the grain.
Bumps and things are most obvious around the terminator/halftone, If you look at her boob the texture gets blown out near the highlight and lost in darkness further away.
They might have actually made a layer of noise and then erased away at or something.

thank you very much c:

im inclined to believe they took it from a reference, the image reeks of heavy photoshop usage such as textured brush, blurring in the top right corner and incredibly accurate shadows on the right.
Yet the parts that are most likely hand drawn like the face are less detailed.

Yeah no shit it was made in a computer program. Well done Sherlock.

Theres no pleasing some people....

This looks like shit. Photobashed as fuck with an anime face slapped on.
>>2420321
and still looks 100x better than anything you will ever produce :^)
I bet you guys hate Siraha too.

What's with all the point highlights?
>>2421308
No practical knowledge of value. It's a telltale sign of symbol painters.
The artist will usually refer to them as "shines/shinies" too.
>>2421300
This is so DAZ3D it hurts
>>2421300
Already saw some of his drawings, that's way worse than the OP. That plastic rendering is cancer.
>>2417440
It looks like a digital painting on top of a photo.
