Does anyone know of good tutorials for making a water drop in
Photoshop or Illustrator?

I am looking for a water drop that has a pointed top (like the Drupal
logo). I found a lot of tutorials online for doing a round water drop
(like one on a leaf etc.) But I'd like to make a good one in the form
when it is dropping down with the pointed top.

Any help is much appreciated!!

Put or make your drop on a separate layer and shape it however you want
with liquify

OK.. I'm specifically using Elements, but your statement intrigues me.
Why would you need to "make the drop on a separate layer"? Wouldn't
the Liquefy filter give him the desired effect? Or did I miss
something in his question (entirely possible)?

Just to prevent liquefying other elements of his project.. if it is
falling in front of something, you may not want to liquify the
background, lets say telephone wires being bent upwards or if the drop
is intersecting the edge of a pool of water you wouldn't want those
edges pulled up with the liquify strokes...etc.. just my opinion.. I
figure better safe than sorry..
