  • Lol, I don't get it. ^_^ How do they draw underwater?? You'd think the led would get smeared, or that it would rip the wet paper. Must have some good material.

  • We use Mylar instead of paper. It's a sheet of frosted plastic basically. Pencil stays on it just fine. You just have to sure to tie your pencil down so it doesn't float away!

  • wow...i'd like to draw somethimg like that underwater, but that needs more practice and more diving skills...my drawings didn't look so nice when i'm out on the surface...

  • @rudzik123 The finished drawings are done on land and believe me the underwater sketches don't always look so nice. The measurements we take help us correct the mistakes in the sketches so it's not as hard as it might sound. We also practice a lot.
