Basically I have always wanted to do something with water and raindrops and since I have loads of time off I though this would be the perfect time. I have also gone back to graphite here. I don't know if I prefer it to charcoal but I do like the control of it and the details it gives. However I love how dark everything goes with charcoal, I hate the shinyness of graphite. I knew it would be right for this picture though because of the amount of detail.

I like the picture in real life, and I love it as a small version on the computer. I don't think the large version does it justice. I might make it smaller but I think it only looks effective very small, the scanner has just shown up so many flaws. I wish I could capture the exactness of the real one.
