PROCESS FOR
Moon Umbreon
This illustration was part of my Peachtober Challenge! It’s a month long art challenge, where every day for the month of October, I created a different illustration inspired by the word/prompt for that day. The prompt for this one was: Moon. The prompt before this one was Sun, so I was trying to think of sister pieces I could do for these two prompts. That immediately made me think of Espeon and Umbreon.
Umbreon evolves by walking her at night, so that was the main inspiration for this illustration. Above is the initial sketch in my sketchbook. I used graphite to sketch out my illustration, and then filled it in with colored pencils.
For materials, I used gouache on hot press watercolor paper.
Below is some of the process in creating the final illustration. The video is sped up 5x so that you can see more of the process!
