Welcome!
I hope you enjoy your stay in this thread.

I am not a pro, drawing is just my hobby, so I still make many mistakes,
but I am doing my best to improve and learn. Thank you for any feedback!
Also, don't be afraid to give me some constructive critique, it's always good
for people who want to improve.

My known problems:
- Drawing hands.
- Anatomy.

Wow that looks amazing... I can see you put in alot of effort in the shading and the colours you have used all work very well together.
I guess the only thing is that you put so much work into this drawing but the fact that you have left out colouring the flowers makes it look incomplete which ruins the picture a little bit imo.

[vedil]

Thank you very much for your feedback!

Well, I think you are pretty right about the flowers. Though, I really had a dilemma what to do with those - I wanted them to stand out and look a little like they were glowing, and I couldn't find any color that would suit, so just left them white. But yes, it may look incomplete. Next time I will keep that in mind, thank you for sharing your opinion!

[nathandg0924]

That is one really nice drawing. The colors go well together. Please post more!

[Laevateinn]

The detail on the picture is absolutely stunning. I keep looking at it and finding new details that I missed out the last time I viewed it. Your use of shading is also excellent, as well as inking and choice of colours that really blend well together. I hope to see more of work like this from you.

[Victory]

Oh my gosh...THAT IS AMAZING! Your very talented, keep it up

[vedil]

Thank you very much for your feedback, everyone! I really appreciate every comment, they are extremely precious for me.

@Laevateinn and nathandg0924 - the fact you said you'd like me to post more, motivated me very much. I will try to do my best.

@Victory - thank you for the compliment!


So, at the moment, I didn't draw anything new. I just lack time a bit, but I am sure I will manage to scribble something soon. Well, anyway, I thought I might show some of my older works (note: these aren't good. And I know they have lots of mistakes ) The Mudkip drawing is the oldest here, I guess I drew it when I was 13 years old (but I am not sure.)



And this one, it isn't that old actually (around 3 weeks?). It's not a "traditional" pokemon fan art, but well, I guess, it can still belong to that section. My team as chibi characters. : )


Also, I am adding a drawing of N from Pokemon B/W, but I don't really like it. I consider it as an old work too. (though, I love N as a character. I must draw a better fan art of him sometime!)

[Laevateinn]

*Notices the picture of N*

N!!! *squees*

I love his complexion, you're not quite sure what he might say or do next (not to mention the crown on his head! :3).

The other ones are also good, especially the Furret. But the picture of N is great! *can't wait to see more*

[Alfred Jones]

These are great, keep up the good work

[nathandg0924]

Your new artworks are great, I like the way you drew them, different from most styles that I've seen. Great job.

Just a question, how do you draw them? Did you use a program or were they hand-drawn? Thanks in advance.

[vedil]

@nathandg0924 - well, not really new, these are old ones, haha thank you for commenting again, and the fact you said they are different from the most styles you've seen made my day. And about your question, I draw them by hand (I am horrible at drawing digitally.) I mostly use colored pencils (for Celebi and Mudkip) and watercolors (the rest) + pens for making lineart.

@Crimson Darkness - Thank you very much!

@Laevateinn - Thank you too! I also love N, and he deserves a better drawing, he is too awesome for this old one xD'


Okay, so there, I managed to find a sketch from 3 months ago. It was my attempt of drawing Wallace and his Milotic.



And here, this is my most recent drawing, done in last two days. Sadly, it is not a Pokemon fan art, hope you don't mind.



Have a wonderful day everyone! (it is morning where I live)

[Ace Of Keys]

Wow these are really great pieces. Do you have a DA or something of the like? the details incredible

[ninetails012]

WOW! these are some great pics! you put so much detail into them...
i'm jealous :3

[~Light]

Wow, amazing !!

Especially since you draw them all by hand, I'm really impressed !

[floatzel98]

yeah, it's amazing how much detail you put into them

[Laevateinn]

Again, you've blown me away, especially on Wallace, whom just happens to be one of my favourite gym leaders/champions. :3

The other picture is very interesting too, I love the detail put into the thorn-dragon-tendril things (I have no idea what they are, so sue me :P).

[vedil]

@ Ace of Keys - Thank you very much! And yup, I have a dA, of course. I love dA! http://www.vedil.deviantart.com

@ninetails012 - thank you very much too! I am a detail freak, I just can't resist not to put thousands of details when I am drawing.

@Mew and floatzel98 - Thank you very much too!

@Leavateinn - I am not really fond of that Wallace sketch, I see too many mistakes in it now. But well, thank you for the compliment, I am glad you like it. And those "thorn-dragon-tendril" things... I don't know. Those are just some monsters.


Okay. I finally managed to draw a Pokemon. Welcome to Lavender Town, folks. (I know it's a bit weird... and I was experimenting with colors, so the outcome may be not the best. I stepped out of my "comfort zone" - I used some colors I never use. Plus I wanted to give it that weird feeling.)



And here, some more non-pokemon works. They aren't new, but those are the ones I personally... kinda like. So I thought... I might add them to this gallery, right? ^^



And umm... old Pikachu drawing?



If anyone is going to comment, thank you! I am sorry I don't reply to your posts right away, I prefer to do it when I post something new, not to spam the forums too much.

[nathandg0924]

Great another update

You're drawing of Cubone, yes, admittedly it does have that weird feeling but I understand and the colors kinda make it look scary, but it works. Your non-poke artworks are also nice, It's a good thing you added them here. The drawing of Pikachu is really nice, very serene looking. Good job there.

[Alfred Jones]

The Cubone one looks great, and I like how the Pikachu one had that 'warm' feeling to it.

[vedil]

@nathan - thank you very much, I am happy that I managed to get the feeling I wanted with the Cubone drawing.
@Crimson Darkness - thank you too.

Sorry for a late reply by the way, I don't have much time lately sadly. And I don't draw Pokemon that much, so rather expect more non-pokemon works to come. And today, I don't have anything new, because I've been struggling with an art block for quite some time now.

But well... Let's say I am adding two works to the gallery. These aren't very recent, but...

[Kaiserin]

The composition of a lot of your drawings sort of reminds me of... well, it's hard to identify exactly, but it's a bit like stained glass. Like, all of your drawings (particularly the ones with backgrounds) stick mostly to the same color scheme, either warm or cold, to very great effect -- when there's a color out of place in one of them, it stands out in a good way. And the backgrounds are as detailed as the subjects, but not so much that they overshadow the focal points entirely, so it looks like a good balance.

With humans, you have a very... macabre sort of style, I think. That, plus the color choices and poses, make for very interesting drawings. They're pretty and dark in a way that isn't hideously drab, if that makes any sense?

Ahaha, yeah, whatever. Thumbs up. |Db

[vedil]

Oh wow, thank you Asuka! You really surprised me with your comment and I appreciate it very much. Really, thank you. You motivated me.

And... macabre sort of style? Well, I'll take it as a compliment, because I really love drawing that way. I actually don't like drawing cute things at all, maybe that is why. And sure, what you said makes sense to me. Thankssss


And there we go for the Christmas mood. I tried digital art, and I am really bad at it, this was basically my first "serious" drawing made digitally.

" a christmas tree murder scene "

[Estuary]

Such lovely drawings! I'm jealous of your ability to make such finished, colorful artwork. I like your nice, bold lines, too. The atmosphere in your Christmas Tree Murder picture is lovelyyy~

All in all, I like your unique color palettes (especially in the sunset Pikachu one, love warm tones) and the abstract elements in your drawings. The only things I could say to work on are human hands (a bit spindly and pointy in 'coffee'). Keep up the great work.

[Victory]

I love the style of your pictures! Good job, keep it up!

[vedil]

@Estuary - oh my, thank you very much for commenting. I really admire your work and I felt honored you commented here. Thanks so much! And actually you surprised me, I've never thought that my color palettes are unique. Also - I know about the hands and you are right. I try to draw real hands to practice, but I fail, haha. Though, I draw pointy fingers because I like it, I don't know, it is a matter of style? (I know that fingers shouldn't be like that but I really love drawing them this way.). But yes, rest of the hand anatomy, I need to work on it.

@Victory - Thank you very much!


And well, I am slowly getting over my artblock and trying out digital art. Two new doodles here:
