The shading from the cat and the light from the moon hitting them is perfect. 
How long did drawing the stars take?

Thank you! Unfortunately I can't remember because the canvas doesn't track time for individual layers, but my trick is to draw a few patches of stars, and the duplicate them and move, twist, flip, and resize them till they cover the sky

Dang! This is amazing! The background is absolutely beautiful! The character fits so well with it!
The character is also shaded so well! Very nice!

Thanks again!! the background was really fun, first I layered an hombre pallet of blue in stripes all the way down, then I used a light brush to dot the stars. I duplicated the stars later and increased the Gaussian blur for the glow effect <3 I'll be using this method more often I think!

I think that blue is a very pretty color to draw with, although I find that I draw with a mint green most the time, and a selection of warm colors too >^> Anywho, I love it and when I saw it I kinda maybe sorta just started singing counting stars.... maybe?

Aw thanks so much! I definitely enjoy warm colors like red and orange, I've been meaning to practice fire
And yeahhh it was gonna be called Moonchild but I thought counting stars was more fun for that reason

Yay!!! I'm so glad your happy with it too! I'm really proud of this one X)
And blue is so nice to work with, it's soft and vibrant at the same time... at first I couldn't get it to look right, but now that I figured it out I use it all the time. Probably because I find snow and stars easier to paint than grass and clouds
