Love your tutorials and I like the effect but the raindrops that bounced looked very flame like when u added so many. I think having a random opacity change on the brush makes it more realistic and varies so it doesn’t look like every splash is at the same time.

Hello,

Great tutorial yet again
But there’s one small thing i see missing in it for some reason, i was just imagining myself doing this in real, i mean feeling the rain on my hands, a thing came into my mind, that there will be drops dripping from the bottom of my hands and this thing is missing in this tutorial, is there any way you can give some hint to make those drops as well ?
