Description
..Teach me, how to flap my wings
I will try to spread both hands
First time testing a circle canvas, background practice. Was pretty fun to do~ Grass turned out fine, drawn strand by strand.
I love Mothims. And shinies even more.
I have a feeling I shall be naming a few works like this. /Steals more song lyrics

Well, this is a really nice art work you have going. I really like the use of the colours in this picture, you've shown the lightness of the night sky incorpated with the location of the imagge which appears to be a shiny mothim sitting on a fench.
Your technique is really outspoke and you showed great use of lines with a nice black outline, emphasising the mothim, verse the colours and its surroundings.
Overall, many people will agree this image shows great work in itself and over all works well. It isn't too detailed nor is it too blank.
Well done, and my congrats.e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/h… " width="15" height="13" alt="

Why did they make him just another worthless bug/flying type instead of something actually half-decent? I mean, come on. He's so cute. D:

Actually, I'm replaying my Diamond and I have a Mothim in my team. :3 He's actually pretty awesome, at least when not facing something like Gyarados. Though, we need more bug types with stats like Heracross's. :c

Really? When I checked his moveset forever ago he seemed to be on par with Butterfree... Ah well, maybe I'll give it a shot anyway.

So, this is what a shiny Mothim looks like? I'm fascinated by shiny Pokemon, but I haven't checked out every shiny sprite on serebii. I like the shiny colors on Mothim much more than the regular colors!

I like this shiny version as well, those colours are so pretty <3

This is so lovely! The colors are like eye candy
As for crits- I think the fence could use an outline. Without it, it looks like Mothim is in front of it, rather than sitting down on it. Everything else has been covered already, I think.
Overall awesome job on this! The grass is stunning

Thank you so much!
That's a good suggestion, and would probably fit my style too. Will remember it. :3

I'm too lazy to do a semi-full critique this time, so I'll just give you a few hints.
It seems you have a bit of trouble with shading wings in general. This time, it's the blue that needs a bit of fixing. If you look at a real butterfly/moth, you'll see that the designs and spots on the wings don't pop up. That's why the blue should not have a separate shading that the yellow. The way you did it, it seems like the blue's popping out. If there's a flat design on a part of -input drawing here-'s body, there should never be a line separating it from the main color, like Suicune or Electabuzz. The same thing goes with the white and blue antennae the Mothim has.
The background is pretty well done in general, but the clouds should be a bit darker. If you go out in the middle of the night when moths are active, the clouds are not white, but darkish purple or blue. If you ever have trouble drawing something, just go look at it in real life. It makes the drawing look a lot better as well as more realistic.
Seems that it ended up a semi-full critique anyways.

Whoah longness of a comment. |D;
No matter how much I try squinting my eyes, I can't find that blue popping out, nor any of the other critiquers. I see linearting different-coloured flat areas as a personal preference, and my style looks better with them imo.
Yes, they're darker, but I thought they looked prettier when they were a little brighter, but they seem to be a too bright anyways.
Thanks.~

I disagree with on how to make the moon more visible. Rather than make the moon more grey and less light, you should make the cloud much more grey and less light. The moon is your light source, so it should be bright. The clouds are in front of the moon, so they should be darker where the moonlight does not hit them (so, most of them, except around the top). I also think the fence especially needs more shadows on it. ~Valorrous 's redline shows the shadows really well on the fence and the Pokémon, so I will just say I agree and point at that.

Thank you a lot! I saved that redline image and I'm using it as a help in the future. <:

HI HUN BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE A SUBBY ANYMORE YOU'LL GET A COMMENT CRITIQUE because I can!

The Critique itselfFirst of all I want say: DO more backgrounds like this, and try new stuff! It's great to see that you've been gaining the patience so draw every single little grass there, one by one. Great job! The clouds look nice and puffy too.. Like cotton candy. So tasty. D:
But.. There are things that bother me a bit too. Like the moon. I really tought it was a part of the cloud, until I saw the.. Hole things. You could've done it a bit more gray and less light so it wouldn't be confused to the clouds. And the fence could've had a bit darker shades and hidlight to bring out the texture.. The shading is a bit too bright.
Now then.. The picture in overall, is really nice and interesting. I love the round shape you gave it, which somehow in my opinion gives it a really calm feeling. The colours too are well done, even though a bit too bright for a night scene. They could have had a small tint of a blue that is tinted with gray, but that's no problem really. And they are also a bit neon-y, you could use a bit gray.. The way you left the painting-ness show is also interesting, and fits your style really well and it's interesting, too.
Now when I look at the picture again, the shading.. Uh, doesn't make that mych sense. If the main ligth source (moon) comes from back, and the minor (fireflies?) from the front, the shading should've been more like this try to decide on the light source before shading wen there's a clear one, helps with making shading look more realistic and clear. Also bringing out the shades more strongly has never been a bad idea, and it's a good choice always when there's a clear source for light.
But in overall, this picture is really good, not bad at all.

Thank you Luxy! Your critiques are always.. tasty.
EWW cotton candy do not want :[
Yess, I tend to have problems with shading and highlights, I should really try focusing on themm.. The redline picture's helpful, I'm sure to save it and probably use it as help later.
Thanks a lot!
