I really like the control that you get with vectors, but sometimes it can feel a bit stiff. I wanted to add some less-controlled elements to this image and convey a sense of wetness.

I'm not an animator, but realised this image should have motion. Lucky for me, Herons tend to sit completely still for long periods, so I didn't need to animate it. I created a cinemagraph-like image by adding rain.
