I've been sketching up some new friends for Little Raindrop to meet as he goes along on his journey through the water cycle!

I'm sure there will be more to come, eventually! These guys might change a little bit too as I work on the story, but these are the first sketches of the group so far.
I got this awesome book called "A Drop of Water" by Walter Wick, and it not only has lots of water and science facts, but it also had awesome microscopic photos of actual snowflakes! So you'll notice on the second page of sketches I began with learning how to draw some of these snowflakes. And then I thought of how I would like to draw them in the cartoon style, and then what they would look like as water droplets! So hopefully their unique faces and other characteristics help viewers see the difference between each drop!
My personal favorite is the big guy with the giant brow. He looks like a tough guy! (But he's more like a teddy bear.)
Oh, and I've also drawn up Little Raindrop's parents, who may or may not turn up in the story... and a special other character that you'll just have to read about when the book is done!
Thanks for reading! :D

Love it!! I am amazed at how you are able to characterize water droplets! I wouldn't know where to begin. My favorite is the long guy, 2nd from the left. I like his little 'tuft' of... water hair?
