1. To begin we need to open a background image, whichever u want, here I use a background which is in the Sample folder which comes with the photoshop installation.

2. Press shift+ctrl+N to create a new layer. And make sure u got Black for the foreground and white for the background

3. go up to brush and select the Hard Round 19 Pix brush, then go back to the document and click drag to create a drop shape which we're gonna build the layer style on, make sure the drop shape is created on layer1, which is above the background

4. Now use the zoom tool to zoom in the drop shape so we can easily observe the changes of it

5. Right click layer 1 in the layers window, select Blending Options

6. In the Blending Options dialog box, Go the Advancing Blending, set the fill opacity to 3%, this will make the black drop seem disappeared

7. now Click on the name of Drop Shadow, set:

a) Opacity: 100%

b) Angle: 30

c) Distance: 1

d) Size: 1

e) Contour: Gaussian

If u don't understand, just look at this diagram and set exactly like this.

8. Now activate the Inner Shadow section by clicking its name on the left of the dialog box, and set:

a) Blend Mode: Color Burn

b) Opacity: 43%

c) Size: 10

9. Activate the Inner Glow section, set:

a) Blend Mode: Overlay

b) Opacity: 30%

c) Color Chip: Black

10. Go to the bevel and emboss section, In the structure section set

a) Technique: Chisel Hard

b) Depth: 250%

c) Size: 15

d) Soften: 10

In the shading section below, set:

a) Angel: 90

b) Altitude: 30

c) Highlight Opacity: 100%

d) Shadow Mode: Color dodge

e) Shadow Color: White

f) Shadow Opacity: 37%

11. Now we are done with the layer style setting, if u want to save the style for later use, click New Style, enter the name of the style, and u'll be able to use it on any other images by clicking Window>>>>>Show Style, and apply the style by clicking on the style squares

Funny thing now! select whatever tools that can draw. Brushes, pencil, etc. Draw on layer 1, see what happened? What u draw is raindrop material instead of black color shape, u can also put texts on it. If you want to do it on another layer, u have to apply layer style on the layer which u working on, following the instruction in step 11.

This is the one I did, use ur imagination, do some creative job!
