I managed to catch the start of "#Pokecember" over on Bluesky and went with this prompt by quote because it was the first I could find lol, but it looks good.

I started with Smeargle for Normal because I love Smeargle, they're very cute. This pose is sadly a little weird; I wanted to draw her trying to get up from being pushed down, but it didn't turn out quite right. It was also past 1 am and I wanted to get something done for the day because I didn't know if I wanted to do it or not!

I also started writing a really sad fanfic featuring a few Smeargle back in November. This one here is Blanche Coup de Brosse, or just Blanche. She has no ink in her tail, which makes her pretty useless for a Smeargle. 😢 She's made to feel worthless by her talented siblings, is bullied or belittled by them, and all she does is sit around and watch TV all day to pass the time.

I've only written two chapters so I have a long way to go, but needless to say I wanted to draw her, or even just a Smeargle in general!
