Close ups:

So sorry for the wait, but I hope you like it!!^.^/

As requested, I drew Trip/Shootie!:-) I had a lot of fun drawing a Pokemon fanart after a super long time! I definitely still struggle at drawing Pokemon creatures though.xD

I was also itching to do something with watercolours. I have an old watercolour sketchbook that I haven't touched since 2018(?), because I hate how the spine doesn't lay completely flat... So I uh broke it a bit so I can draw more freely in it.xD (yes, my soul hurt a bit from that, but worth it)

Tbh, I'm sooo used to using non-watercolour paper because I'm cheap, so to watch the paint react differently definitely humbled me.xD Also, some may have seen my ramble the other day, but omggg I also discovered my fav pens are actually waterproof, and all it needed was better quality paper!? Oh jeez, the way my jaw dropped when I did my swatch tests...

Okay, more about the drawing! I wanted to draw something cool looking, while also looking a bit cute/moe because, well, it's Pokemon and Pokemon is cute and cool to me!xD

I think I got his expression fairly good, and the pose also evokes the mood for me too! I'm still unsure if the flowers sort of broke the whole thing or not, but I was in the sudden mood to draw flowers, so whatever.:-P

I am also wondering if I should have gone for looser lineart, or none at all, but I was sooo excited to use my pens I didn't even think.xD Had a blast inking though! (I love inking traditionally so so so soooo much)

Also did that plastic wrap trick for the bg! Definitely a lot of fun. And I did that paint splatter technique too; I need practice again, because I don't think I've done it since my late teens or something.T.T

Scanning it removed a bit of the colours from my granulating watercolours too (as well as bit of the shimmer from my pearly watercolour paints), which tbh I expected. So the colours here aren't 100% accurate to how it is irl (it's slightly more desaturated with more orange peeking through), but I like the edit a lot actually (for once xD).
