Rain

These are a couple of nearly finished pages of a comic I'm working on at FableVision. I'm grappling with how to best represent rain. These pages are heavy on line right now (no color, and I haven't blocked in any blacks), so they won't be completely realized until color gets applied. The comic needs to be delivered in Flash, so these are all completely "inked" in digital vector. People familiar with the program will understand how tricky it is to draw consistently straight lines, so it has definitely been a challenge. I think the rain is working so far. My approach is to draw the characters, then the rain lines, and then the elements behind the rain. Note that these pages don't come right after each other, though you can probably fill in the blanks.
