When it comes to painting a water drop the secret lies in shadowing and highlighting. No matter what kind of tool you use to draw the water drop, the main step is shading the drop. First of all, you must make an outline, the shape of the drop. Then, you will need to shade one side to give it a more 3D look. After this step, highlight the inside of the drop with the lighter color then the base. You can use a white highlight spot to make the water drop seem crystal clear and that is how you can paint water drops.
