After a long day of playing with their lovely jumbo beach ball, Sylveon decided to hop on top of it and take a nap. Surprisingly, it makes for a very comfortable bed too, perfect for nap time.

I honestly didn't think I'd be able to put this together at all! Considering that this was done using Krita on my old school laptop, which is slow AF, just running Windows 10 by itself, it's a pretty big accomplishment for the little laptop that could! The reason why I used my laptop is that my primary desktop PC broke on me recently, again, and it's out for repairs...again! I also didn't want to use my Amazon Fire Tablet as that is not only slow too, (albeit, not as slow as my laptop, but still sluggish.) but Krita isn't available on the Amazon Fire Tablet without modifications or sideloading the app. Plus, the only "good" drawing program on offer isn't good enough for my needs as its stabilizer is far too weak for my unsteady hand and horrendous handwriting. Not only that, but the software is a little buggy with its group layers. Regardless, I wanted to make this work somehow and thankfully, I did.

Despite the slow performance, I had fun drawing Sylveon and their jumbo beach ball! When it came to getting the pose I needed, I winged it for the most part. I had never seen a Sylveon sleeping in the Superman pose as seen with dogs in real life so, I figured that Sylveon would look cuter if I drew them like this. I'm not sure if Sylveons have paw pads or not, so I figured that I'd give them some, just to be safe. I read Sylveon's biology section on Bulbapedia and it didn't mention anything about them having paw pads. Regardless if they have them canonically or not, they turned out great here, in my opinion. I also really loved how the Love Ball jumbo beach ball turned out as I had a lot of fun playing with the shading effects by changing brush styles from Normal to Screen, Multiplay, Overlay, etc all throughout the ball and Sylveon itself, especially when used in combination with a regular digital pen brush and the airbrush! Chef's kiss!

Funny enough, I originally planned on drawing something else. But, after going out to see a movie with Mom one day, returning home, and then scrolling through Twitter, I got an idea for a new drawing and decided to draw this instead. I still plan on finishing the other one, but that'll be done another time. (Unless it's published before this one goes live, in which case, this is completely irrelevant.) It's funny how things can change on a whim, depending on circumstances that occur, am I right.
