These two Goodras are offering free hugs to anyone and everyone who passes by them on this lovely beach. Would you hug them, even if it means that you're left in a gooey mess afterward? I would.

This was another interesting one to draw as both the regular/Kalosian Goodra and the Hisuian Goodra share a similar anatomy, much like how the Johtonian Typhlosion and the Hisuian Typhlosion do. There are some differences such as the thickness of the horns, the horns' length, the average height for the Goodras in general, the number of gooey dots on the head and "tail" respectively, and the fact that the Hisuian Goodra has a shell it can retract itself into while the Kalosian one doesn't have that. Despite these differences, their main body structure is very similar to one another, making drawing them a little bit easier. That doesn't change the fact that they're still difficult to draw, though. Strangely, I had a hard time drawing their head as when it came to the angle I was going for, things weren't quite lining up for a while. Eventually, I was able to figure it out and then was able to proceed. Once I finished drawing the Kalosian Goodra, I was able to copy and paste the sketch, mirror it, and then make the adjustments necessary to turn the 2nd Goodra into a Hisuian one.

When it came to some of the texture work for certain background elements such as the signs, the sand on the beach, etc., I really love the way it turned out as I was able to utilize some of the different brushing modes in Krita to add some realism to them. My favorite part of this was the ocean as I love making the water sparkle due to the light produced by the sun.

Shading both Goodras was another fun part of this drawing as due to the angle I was going for them, I had to experiment a little bit as to where to place the shading and how it would look drawing them the way I did. I also wanted to add a little bit of a glow to some parts of them due to them being slug dragons and typically, slugs are silky and glow on some spots due to the sunlight.

The final obstacle I had to figure out was how to go about having the Goodras hold their signs. I'm not 100% sure how Goodras can hold objects with their hands without dropping them outright so, I took a more humanoid approach and have their two "fingers" work like a human's fingers and thumbs to hold them. From what I looked up online, I have never seen a Goodra depicted holding an object with their hands, at least not without them using both of them or they use their long horns to hold the object.
