Description This is a companion piece to Moonlight . For both pictures, I first painted the background competely (so the grass and the sky here), and then added the characters in the foreground. Rather than going for the usual sunset-ish background, I tried doing some diagonal ~*creative*~ strokes, but I think it looks kinda nice. I also didn't know what pokemon I should draw at first, then I settled for growlithes upon a random "cute pokemon" google search XD

I thought it would be interesting to try this technique out, so I tried different types of backgrounds, and in both cases, I'm really fond of the outcome If you wanna see more pieces like this, feel free to suggest a background, and what kinda pokemon would fit best in it!

This is really good ~. Makes me want to sit right between the two Growlithe and hug them both :3.
Awesome job!

Ooh, it's beautiful! 

I'm really impressed with how you made the figures in both pieces, I didn't know one could do that

aww thanx! it's really easy, like a sort of "new layer", you just paint over what you've already drawn, you just have to be careful not to ruin everything XD

Love the colours. A sunset without seeing the sun works beautifully with the strokes you made.

thank you! the grass is an unholy mess between watercolours and coloured pencils, it's just a pain to do every single stroke, but kinda easy :'D
