Description Traditional rain
I have definitely not been listening to kpop recently nope

Oh look it's Tekla's annual drawing, I look forward to seeing her again next summer

GSR Summer Event
  - Class: Double Jump
    - Horse: Tell Me Tomorrow
    - Rider: Florence Woodrow
    - Stable: Falken Stud
    - Phase 2: Team 16, phase 1 entry
    - Extra: Beautiful Baybes (I'm not sure whether it counts since it was posted after deadline but before journal was marked closed, but I'll link it anyway for continuity if nothing else)

Florence liked pink. And for a fun summer show, where there was no dress code, she couldn't resist the opportunity to dress Tekla up in cute colors- and herself too, of course, they had to match after all. She even tied the whole ensemble together with a summery bundle of flowers and ribbons in the mare's flowing black tail, which she didn't seem to mind at all. Her teammate was a stranger to her, but Florence and Anna Kate had messaged back and forth and settled on a carrot for their relay stick- an excellent idea that the horses could gobble down as a reward at the end of the event. Tekla was decidedly more interested in the relay stick than she had been in her tail flowers, but obediently left it alone upon Florence's stern admonishment, choosing instead to watch her surroundings and the passing horses with collected curiosity. At the last moment before it was time to mount up and head to the start, Florence snapped a photo of herself with Tekla and texted it to her infinitely minuscule purple Korean roommate Miyo. Miyo, in return, promptly answered with a link to one of the kpop songs she had been blasting in their room for the past several weeks, at which point Florence facepalmed as she knew she would now have that song stuck in her head for the entire ride. She didn't even know the lyrics. There was some black, some pink, a dated 90's reference... oh dear. And then it started raining.

At least Tekla didn't seem to mind. ♪I PUMP UP THE JAM♪ - NO PLEASE STOP

Min inre dialog är just nu "ska jag skriva ännu en värdelös kommentar nu eller spara den här i min inbox i typ 10 år till ifall jag skulle kunna skriva nåt värdigt senare". Jag vet typ inte var jag ska börja, men jag gillar bådas ansikten och uttryck och de ser så avslappnade ut anatomi- och posemässigt. Det ser liksom så naturligt ut. Och allt är så snyggt ritat; hindret, resten av bakgrunden, skuggningen på häst och ryttare och vattensplashgrejen. Och regnet! Du fick liksom det att passa in i bilden så bra, regn är jättesvårt ju, tycker jag iaf. Särskilt när det inte är digitalt!

Din inre dialog låter väldigt likt min xD Du är duktig som tar tag i det nu, jag sitter och glor på saker som suttit i inbox sen maj och funderar på om jag ska samla kraft till läsning Tack så mycket <33 Teklis får komma ut alltför sällan, men hon och Florence är ett bra team tycker jag, förra gången vann de så vi får se hur det går den här gången xD

Folk får lugna ner sig och sluta vara så produktiva, de måste ju tänka på alla som inte hinner med! Nej men jag brukar typ "ta tag i" grejer när det börjar kännas så jobbigt att jag inte får nåt annat gjort heller. xD Men då blir det liksom inte lika bra som jag önskat att det kunde ha blivit, men bättre än ingenting. Kanske. ._.

Alltså med tanke på hur många hästar du har tycker jag du ändå ritar henne rätt ofta. xD Jag har inte ens hälften och får aldrig nåt gjort. Vågar inte tänka på hur många år sen det var jag ritade vissa av dem. *nervöst skratt med en stark underton av panik* Men hoppas det går bra igen då!

Sexa av nio, gick sådär xD Men ska försöka låta bli tävlingar nu ett tag framåt, blir alltid frestad av häftiga idéer men nu är det dags att träna på människor, uppdatera ponnisar, rita stallet och rita storyn, sånt är roligt (okej träna människor är inte kul men det är nödvändigt för storyn och det vore kul att bli duktig på dem eller något)

Och du, man ritar sina karaktärer precis så ofta eller sällan som man känner för, finns inga regler eller krav och därmed ingen anledning till att få panik över det

dawww XD Men allt det där låter spännande ju (jobbigt, ja, men kul för oss som får se resultatet). Och jag veeet, men det är nästan sorgligt hur lite vissa får synas. :c Har alltid hundra idéer för alla mina karaktärer men typ aldrig tid eller ork att göra nåt av dem. Men men, vissa idéer kommer kanske till användning i framtiden.

So beautiful! 

how do you do the rain in traditional?

Thank you! I used a white marker for this one, just did streaks of varying length In the past when doing traditional rain I've tried using an eraser to make streaks in the color, still not sure which works best, definitely something to experiment with. Water is tricky!

Thank you so much for taking the time to tell me

I always wondered - cause I wanted to try once but I keep avoiding stormy bgs 'cause I wasn't sure how to do it

No problem! My best advice is just to experiment with it, try out different methods until one sticks

How did you rain?? I need to know...

Helsinge In reply to AthenaMyth [2016-10-03 19:59:49 +0000 UTC]

White marker Alas I was on a time crunch and had to catch a train within the next twenty minutes of starting the rain, otherwise I would have spent a lot more time on the effect of droplets hitting the water, now I only got to start the barest bones of that element. But thick white marker gives a sort of foggier broader white (I used that for the swell around the grass and the main misting of the splash, as well as the greasing on Tekla's legs/belly), and then a fine white gel pen for the water spray points, which I also would have used for rain droplets if I'd had more time for it. Definitely need to practice it more though, water is such a fascinating thing to draw but so so tricky... I WANT TO UNLOCK ITS SECRETS

AthenaMyth In reply to Helsinge [2016-10-07 07:45:44 +0000 UTC]

Interesting... *strokes chin* I have a few white gel pens, but I must look into this white marker phenomenon. 

Water is most definitely tricky and something I haven't really explored because of it's tricky, devious ways. So far your exploring has done you well and definitely presents itself as water, splashes and rain, so perhaps I'll sit back and observe a bit more before trying myself.
