Dripping Sweat

In manga and anime, sweat drops used as symbols are normally drawn appearing and staying at the same position on a character's face. However, in some cases the sweat is drawn dripping, like real sweat.

When this happens symbolically, it's typically because they're in panic, sweating profusely, faced with a sudden and extremely complicated situation, nervous, frozen with intense fear, and so on.
