Description
I’ll never let you seeThe way my broken heart is hurtin’ me.
I’ve got my pride and I know how to hide
All my sorrow and pain.
I’ll do my cryin’ in the rain...
Um, just thought I'd experiment with a rain effect for this one, plus I've just realized I've never drawn a sad horse before now - they've all been cheerful and happy! Can't have that now, 'cos I'm feeling mightily blue these days.
So here's poor Aerynne, feeling a bit depressed... we all have those days, right?But enough about me! First of all, I'd like to thank ~SilverBrumby for her awesome advice on how to get the reflection in the water. Thank ya, Brumbles!
And I'd like to say I did NOT use a rain brush for the rain - I made it myself, with help from the tutorial listed at the bottom.And I made my own watermark, too! Anyone recognize mah little fishy?
Cookies for anyone who can find my signature on him... So yeah. The background is kinda sucky - it didn't turn out how I thought it would. But then, when does it ever?
Please FULLVIEW and thanks for looking!

I love the picture. it's amazing. and the fish signature does look familiar. i'm gonna have to look around to see why.
what i liked the most is the lake picture. that must have been hard to draw with the ripples in the rain and all. and to make it look smudgy right? you know what i mean um...oh what's the word...blotchy and smeared i think it is. anyways great job and keep it up!

Aww, thank you very much! The rain drops were ready-made brushes, so it wasn't too difficult. But thank you!

you're welcome. what do you mean ready-made brushes? how do you do that?

People like *redheadstock have pre-made brushes that you download and use in photoshop - they're great for when you don't want to spend a lot of time on backgrounds!
