  How do I draw falling rain in black and white for my cartoon?

  

  Community Answer

  If you draw thin, light, irregularly spaced, diagonal, dashed lines, they will look like rain. If you have room, adding some clouds above will help people recognize the rain even more. Good luck!

  How do I draw a tear drop that dropped on paper?

  

  Community Answer

  Use your HB pencil to sketch irregular shapes, then use it to shade in. Remember to use small, controlled, circular strokes! Use a 4B to create an outline and then use a white charcoal pencil to add highlights, or use a kneaded eraser to lift up some of the value.
