Illustration Friday: Rain

Looks like rain

I drew this sketch of a little girl holding out her hand to capture the first raindrop of a storm several months ago. What a coincidence that this week's theme for Illustration Friday is Rain, huh? Nice. I didn't have to think too hard on the concept, however, I did have a dickens of a time trying to find the right color scheme. I went through several iterations, from green, blue, red, etc. At first I had her in mostly blue hues with a greenish background. But I realized that I use green and ochre way too much. I wanted to use colors that I normally wouldn't use. Peach seemed peachy keen to me.

Well, here ya go. What do you think?

    very nice. I like her pose and that you chose an un-rainy palette in the end. It makes me think of a few drops of rain in the desert.

    I love that I was able to recognize your style from the thumbnail on IF before I even saw your name. The color balance is really great in the piece.
