Aqua Awesome, Illustration

To illustrate the idea how aqua fitness is a good way to burn calories, I customized a silhouette of a woman working out. First I made some simple waves to indicate a pool and placed them in front. I set the layers so that her body shows through the water, and also made a splash using a custom brush to add the sense of action.  Then I made a simple flame and put it behind. I created an aqua dumbell and put it in her hand. Finally, I custom made wavy text and colored it with a gradient of red, orange and yellow. In an instant you get the idea of aqua burning calories! This illustration was used in my Aqua-Awesome blog for an article on losing weight with aqua.
