Start adding the foreground elements

Start by masking off the background and freehand airbrushing the first shark in the exposed area. This image painted with greatly over reduced Wicked Detail colors and the Iwata HP-CH, a wonderful combination.

The second shark is applied the same way as the first, keeping mindful of the lighting changes due the varied elevations of each shark.

Starting on the second panel, I begin by adding the Nautilus, using a similar method as the sharks in the previous panel.
