    The more of these formulas I learn the easier it is to create pictures without looking at reference material or nature. This makes such obvious sense once it is explained. Now I can draw a drop that looks like a drop. I don't need to look at a photo, or a drop for that matter.

    Feels like the whole thing could burst at any moment, do you make a living drawing? sorry to pry, don't answer if its too personal I'll understand,
    Have a great day, thank you for another great tutorial.

    • @alphonsodunn

      lol No issues answering..I dont make a living drawing, as yet :-) But teaching it is very fulfilling as well

    Strange a water droplet is dark on the light side. There is a crescent of lighter shadow to the left of the dark on the droplet. I'm not sure why it is there. Also do you know what determines the shape of the highlight? Here the droplet is round yet the highlight is squared. Very interesting tutorial. Learning a lot. Thanks.

      For pen and ink, I use bristol board and multi-media pads. For watercolor I use hotpress 140lb watercolor and multimedia pads. I'll remember to put it all in the description

    Hmm ... Are these dark conical shapes the shadows cast by the hemispheres of water droplets?

      When you told me you had to push yourself, I wasnt sure what you meant. But I am beginning to understand. I always thought if I tried something a few times and couldnt do it, that meant I couldnt do it. But thats not true! :) I appreciate you!

    there are a lot of thing i do not understand,
    like:
    why is the shadow of a spherical or ovoid waterdrop triangular?
    is not the highlight the part of the object where the eye-direction falls perpendicular and if so should not be the highlight be somewhere deeper on the droplet ?
    should not shadowing include to determine the highlight as well as the centerlight?
    is the highlight more important than the centerlight?
    how exactly does the light interact with the droplet - it seems a lot more complicated than just with a solid body

      lol go easy my friend...while I think its healthy to encourage that type of inquiry, I believe our task with art is to create the illusion of reality and in the process impose some aspect of ourselves unto it or even what we believe we see....no a water drop is translucent and therefore its way of interacting with light is completely different from solid objects..centerlight, highlight, all those types of phenomena doesnt apply....would you ask those questions when tryting to draw a crystal ball? or a chrome teapot? Just look for consistent patterns and recreate them...sometimes thats all you NEED to do, and sometimes quite enough
