I first started by drawing up a basic idea of what I wanted to make and asked my peers for their opinions then I started by covering my whole area with a square using the object tool and using a gradient and opened the gradient and I started with a yellow for the bottom and then the middle I did a dark yellowish-orange and then for the top I choose orange then I made 3 wiggle lines with the pen tool and grew them out and made them look like water and colored them blue then I used the pen tool make my mountains I clicked it once to make them straight and then double-clicked for a circler line then I made the mountain and colored the ones closer a lighter tone to make it look like the sun was beaming down on them and made the back ones darker to show that the sun was going down then I went online to see what ships I wanted and I choose pirate ships and made sure that I could make them into a silhouette then I put the ships all over the place to make it look like a ship graveyard then i used the pen tool to draw little shark fins and then i took the clouds i made and made them into little small lines and put them around the shark fins to make it look like they were cutting through the water
