Manip Academy #13: Grounding in water
Hello there!
With our earth consisting out of 71% of water I personally like to think that it is very natural to want to place your subject in a lake or river.

In our case (because most times we already have the body of water from stock photo’s) the only thing we really need to do is merge our subjects into the environment. In this tutorial I am going try to provide you with hopefully some help on how to get your water grounding to look right!
