Thank you so very much for the favorite! I really appreciate it!

The raindrop's hair should be more affected by gravity, both the inking and the coloring were rushed and have a lot of errors, and I hate the cloud's hair and dress. :x Those are the main reasons I don't like it. There are more, though...

As for the coloring, it was just colored pencils. n_n; I wish I knew how to use watercolors!! That would be so cool!

Thanks again!

Hey, no sweat. It deserves a favorite in my book. :3.

Well, for Raindrop's hair, I just figured she was only starting to fall. Gravity and such take a second to really show effect. That's just me, though.

Yeah, I wish I could use watercolors, too. Laughing One of these days. And man, if I could get that kind of effect from colored pencils...sheesh. You rock, man. :3

    Thank you again!

    And for future reference, I'll probably be using that explanation as an excuse for the gravity in this picture. Giggle

    As for coloring with colored pencils, if I may be so bold, I'm confident that you could color in the same style! All you have to do is hold the pencil at an angle (so it's not sharp and doesn't cause lines) and start at the darkest part of the shadow. Then color toward the chosen lightsource and get lighter with the pressure as you go!

    Did that make sense? I hope so. :x

      You're totally welcome (and that's cool with me. I'm glad I could help. Giggle )

      Hrm. I may have to break out the crayolas again. I've been coloring with my five megatank pens lately, and I love them, but the color range is so limited, it doesn't work for me. Slant But I will try your method. Thanks!
