    For this level of detail, streams of water are going to be easier to portray. Droplets require more detail to be realistic than the rest of the drawing is able to support. I think at this level they look more like lumps, unfortunately.

    I think if you hadn’t explicitly asked me to consider whether she looks wet, I may not have questioned it. Your question triggered the thought, “what else does it look like”, so now I can’t unsee the blisters.

    I just asked my husband to tell me what he sees and his reply was, “uuh… woman in the rain?” So without any prompting it passes as water.

      Actually, this is related to something especially beginner (but also more advanced) artists need to learn: don’t point out (what you perceive as) the flaws. If they’re very obvious, your audience will see them, if they’re not, who cares? By pointing them out, you draw attention away from the good parts and you don’t want that.
