: How to make an object look like it's reflected in water in Adobe Illustrator? How do you make an object look like it's being reflected on a body of water using Adobe Illustrator? Something

One can use the warp tool to smudge around vector drawings. You can also use wrinkle and scallop tool for your benefit in these cases



Image 1: Warp tool can be found under the same tool button as width tool


Step 1: Make a duplicate of the object you want to smudge mirror it upside down and scale it down a bit in one direction.


Step 2: Use the smudge tool to deform the image by dragging sideways and slightly up with a big brush and then progressively smaller one.



TIP: You can double click on the smudge tool to adjust simplification options down for more detail.
Step 3: Overlay with strips of black.




Tweak to your hearts content. This is just a very quick demo done in about 7 minutes (up and including finding the moon model in image collection and vectorisation). There is lot i would do better if this was for a project of mine.
