Description wtf title...?? Haha but I couldn't just call it "rain," that'd be stupid.

Sooo a few months ago we had this magnificent thunderstorm. It lasted about 5 minutes and was one of the heaviest downpours I have ever seen. The beautiful thing about it was that the sun kept shining through the entire time. Unfortunately, I didn't disobey my mother's severe order to stay inside, and by the time I convinced her that I wouldn't get struck by lightning, the storm had passed. I had to settle for splashing around barefoot in some puddles that were already quickly evaporating from the hot pavement. Umm... yeah, not good enough!!! That's when I started this painting. Haha I dunno, maybe I thought it would make me feel better if I drew myself in the rain. In any case, if it ever rains like that again, DAMMIT I'M GOING OUTSIDE!!!

Er... I don't really know how to draw rain and water and wet stuff, so this was total experimentation. Ehhh... I dunno, you can be the judge of how successful I was. XD Let's just say I'm not ridiculously pleased with this picture.

Oh, and that's not actually what I look like. Well... yeah I guess it's supposed to be me, but I wasn't trying very hard to make it look like me. Otherwise I would have looked in a mirror or something. Haha but I did get a haircut between when I started this and when I finished, and I so changed the painting to match my new hair.

We had a night storm too! It was different though; it lasted forever and had crazy lightning and thunder all over the place. There was one thunderclap which shook the whole house! Kind of scary... >_<

I think the rain effect turns out really well.

My intuition also tells me that there are something odd about this. After looking for a while I think it's one of those silly behavior things I notice, where people usually face down to avoid the rain from getting into the eyes, or looking up while shutting their eyes really tight so they can feel the rain.

We've been having sun showers like crazy around here lately.
It's very strange, but very beautiful.


This picture is amazing, though. I like the softness of it and the colors are just beautiful.

Or it could just be the rain reflecting light all over the friggen place that's confusing me, now that I look at it more closely... I don't know. Shading people in the rain is a bitch, I bet.

But it's still a lovely heart-gurgle feeling I get when I look at it.

Of course you're not pleased with it. You know where the mistakes are! XD

However, I do not. The legs seem to be a little detached from the rest of the world... i don't know if they're too light or something, they're lacking weight.... but. I think it's fantastic. That's quite the mood of happy rain that is captured there. ....and i love dancing in the rain... So it makes my heart go squish!
