Abstract
A water surface region is divided into elongated (or vertical) slice regions, an image is drawn by randomly swaying each slice region, and the foregoing process is repeated so that sway of the water surface is expressed. An ellipse is enlarged and the color is gradually made to be the same as the color of the surrounding water surface so that ripples are expressed. The water surface is divided into a plurality of regions which are sequentially subjected to a process for elongating the regions so that waves are expressed. Images of sprays and ellipses which are gradually enlarged are superimposed so that sprays occurring because of a rain are expressed.
