Akari Wyrdeer Riding Process Blog (Pixiv Fanbox)

To begin this, I had to look at examples of horse riding and how Akari might be sitting or standing on the saddle and its foot rests depending on the motion of Wyrdeer.

Not a lot of motion was shown of Wyrdeer however, so I added motion blur in order to convey that illusion of movement better.

Moreover, I included Oshawott because I thought it would fit in the blue aesthetic the characters had going.

- Though Cyndaquil could probably offer more of a different dynamic to its body shape, I found drawing Oshawott to be simpler to add into the mix.

Same process with the lines as well with the doodle of it being over a darkened lined layer so that the lines are able to be seen better.

- I typically like hard, solid lines for the outline to give it a more simpler look to the overall shapes.

That being said, here is the process for the doodle~
