This, but about art

My beautiful baby boys, I will finish you someday

It takes a really long time to get good at drawing ?

Been making an effort to doodle more on paper lately. Fun to crank out some little guys free of any Big Art™ pressure

Another one, because why not? Sketch and final

The sketch✏️ The painting ? This one was started in 2012 and finished in 2020. Certainly my longest time between starting and finishing a piece ?

As it turns out I'm pretty bad at drawing some pokemon from memory. My gf is much better at it I think. Please don't ever ask me to draw "clefairy" ?

Here's a cool tip for how I did this

Trying to learn something from masters. Mine left, their's right.

Man I was not expecting the 90s Sugimori Pokemon art style to be the way more difficult one of the two styles to work in. Deceptively very high level of subtlety. If you'd like to color them yourself here are the lines.

I did that initial rough thumbnail at 3am right after beating the game so its particularly sloppy. At first I tried it in a landscape format but it just wasn't working. Bonus red sketch is from when Koraidon was first announced and the limbs are just warmup doodles.
