  • i mean why u gived dark shadow at top of drop any reason ?thanks

  • Well, I'm no scientist, so I have no idea why, but if you look at a water drop, the shadow strangely appears on the same side as the light is coming from, so that's how I paint them.

  • i got a question sir/mam i want to draw rain but i want it with a background of tress how do i do that?

  • not easy! have a look at this video  ' Relaxing Rain/Storm Sound 2/2' it isn't a tutorial but I would probably use angled marks like the ones shown , good luck.

  • what program did you use?

  • The image is actual paint (scanned in). I reversed it in G.I.M.P bit by bit and saved every step to make the individual frames.

    The movie was put together in windows movie maker.
