The Royal Forest

Kel and Peachblossom in the Royal Forest on their way to the pages' summer camp. Kel is listening to the boys complaining about the weather, and the scene with Wyldon that follows is one of my absolute favorites.
Yes, it's raining, hence the cloack and grey-ish sky. Now I'm off to experiment on how to draw/colour rain   Should anyone know some good drawings or tutorials of rain-drawing with markers I would very much appreciate a link.

I decided the pages wouldn't be wearing their dark red uniforms when riding through the forest, because it would really stand out from all the green. But I guess they might be carrying some sort of standard (flag) to show their identity.
