Bats above the moonlit lake

One bat hangs from a leafy branch while another stretches its wings across the full moon. A quiet lake and pine trees sit far below their nighttime meeting.

How much detail?

Open wing panels and the moon give larger coloring spaces; little ears, toes and leaf veins call for a finer tip. About the labels.

Try this palette: Moonlit October

Try lavender wings against a golden moon, then repeat a deep blue along the lake and distant hills.

A small coloring tip

Use a pointed pencil for the bat faces and wing corners. Keep the distant lake lighter than the foreground branch.

Add a trail of tiny stars between the flying bat and the moon without crowding its wing shapes.
