Description Well...this is my first attempt at drawing a fanart of my favorite Pokemon couple May and Drew. This is only my opinion and preference...I don't want to hear anything about how this couple sucks, I generally keep quiet about other people's couple preferences in anime (no matter if I strongly disagree) and I expect the same courtesy to be extended to me.

Anyways, I know this piece needs a little work, especially around the faces but I honestly don't want to work on it anymore. It was hard enough to get it at the point it is now. Watercolor is a difficult medium to use...especially when it comes to fanart and this is the best I could get it.

Painting Drew's hair was a technical nightmare...I couldn't get the right green color (mixing the right green in watercolor is next to impossible for me) or get it bright enough to suit me. I left it the way it is before it got too dark.

Another thing...this painting was inspired by a stock image I found quite a while back. The image was borrowed from

May and Drew do NOT belong to me. The belong to gamefreak, nintendo, etc. whatever.

Aw, I love this couple.
And Drew's hair looks fine. It really is a pain. Why did the animators have to pick the most difficult color to replicate?
Anyways, it's a wonderful paintin and it definitely deservers a .

Thank you! Your comments are much appreciated. Drew's hair was a pain to color, I didn't figure that green is such a hard color to replicate with watercolor.

Hey hey! I love this piece! I faved it a while back, but I just realized I drew the same scenario, different perspective: [link]
Subconcious maybe? I'm looking at both now and they really are the same thing! XD

They make a great couple<3
You have portrayed the love between these two successfully. Pretty colouring.
I like that they look a little more like humans than in the serie ( oh love pokemon style but I love that people draw fanart in different styles).
The best part is their hairs.

Thank you for the comments. I always think my works need work, I am a perfectionist which causes me to be rarely 100% satisfied with an art work. I hope to improve on this kind of attitude.

This is... really gorgeous. I absolutely love the coloring style, you did an amazing job. I actually love Drew's hair in this, the way you coloured it makes it look very realistic, yet still accurate to the character. It's such a beautiful piece. ^^ They both look so happy and at ease with eachother.

judyeve In reply to Alopec [2007-03-03 16:21:08 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! I am glad you like it because I have been finding it difficult to like "A Tender Moment" months after I put it up. I have working on Drew's hair in other works (just for practice) and I can't seem to get the color I got in "A Tender Moment." So, I will probably stick with a darker and more brighter green for our green haired coordinator in future works.

Again, thanks for your comments!

EEE! My favorite shipping! You really made them look realistic. Their hair looks gorgeous, and you did such a great time coloring everything. This shows you must have spent forever on this. Its amazing. And I agree with obancrescent13. If only this happened in the show. xD

Great job!

judyeve In reply to Katzila [2006-12-22 05:54:03 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! May and Drew have become my all time favorite Pokemon couple. It took me forever to color the hair. The hair was colored in several layers as well as all of the elements in the picture. I love to mix colors...an extremely hard thing to do in watercolor.

I wish "A Tender Moment" had happened in the show, it would have been terrific.
