Initial sketches from books, videos and observation. I definitely like the way that water moves much more than any other element, and it looks like a fun thing to think about.

Inspiration from waterbending from Avatar; does water bending have to involve fighting? Or could some other type of movement play a part?

Research of different types of dancing, put with sketches based off of waterbending ideas in Avatar;

I think that dancing works very well with waterbending, and I definitely want to try it out.

Sirens + Mermaids + Water Nymphs

Sirens/Mermaids/Water Nymphs as inspiration to refer back to.
