Anywho, uh... here's thissssss? And I'm actually REALLY proud of how it turned out??

I set out to make some sort of "rainy" picture, since the weather inspired me, but tbh I've never figured out how to make anything droplet-y look realistic enough, and I didn't exactly want to draw falling rain either. I almost just went with a sky full of storm clouds for this, but then I randomly thought of a way I may be able to pull off a puddle, so I went with it, XD! It was actually SUPER fun to draw - I've never drawn water in a way where I'm proud of it before, but I can say I broke that streak here. C:

I'm not quite sure how I feel about the ripples, though. I half like them, half hate them? I was gonna make another version of this drawing without them but eh... I like them enough now so they can stay. XDD


The timer's a slight bit off, and please don't steal this - thank youuuuu! <3

I... really hope it's okay I posted this in Intermediate??? Idk, I just felt brave enough to try today, hehe <3

Oh
My
Gosh
Is this not a real photograph?!!!
IT LOOKS SOOOOOO GOOD, WHAT THE HECKKKKK? All the shading, the ripples, the smoothness of the puddle... IT IS ALL HECKING AMAZING! You are really talented, ya know! Drawing something realistic is hard, I’ve never tried or done it but I’m sure it’s hard! XD BUT YOU. USE. A. TRACKPAD. THAT MAKES THIS EVEN MORE INSANE!!!!!

You’re, like, an art wizard. Seriously. I THINK THIS BELONGS IN INTERMEDIATE!!!!! <333

This is gorgeous, OM! Swirl!!!! How the heck do you draw so well?!!! XD The reflection is stunning. <333 I have no idea how you drew this in less than a hundred years (a hundred years is how long it would take for me to do this even half as good).

Ahhh, the colors fit perfectly with the mood of a rainy day. SERIOUSLY, THIS IS HECKIN EPIC. I love the ripples in the puddle, too. They look amazing!

(I'm not sure why I always think of a music video when I see this drawing. XD For some reason it makes me think of the SHINee music video for Tell Me What to Do. I guess cuz there's a skyscraper building thing in it and there's a tall building in your drawing...? XDDD)
