Pokemon Pencil drawings and a few portraits

[The_Mexican_Smeargle]

Well, it's been a while since I last posted here. I'd like to share some of my latest drawings.

Usually I'll do reference work, such as from Pokemon cards, official art, or sprites.




This one was based on my favorite mew card, I could only find a tiny picture of it on the card dex at Serebii. I drew my own little grass and flowers and whatnot, and added the moon. I drew this on an index card, so it's rather tiny!




These are bookmarks I made based on the pokemon cards I found in the card dex, but I couldn't find one I liked for Raikou, I just wan't contempt with the poses I found. Luckily, I stumbled upon some anime reference sheets and based the drawing off that pose! I had to come up with the shading there.




Just a little drawing I did to do my apologizing for me

Hey there! Haven't seen you in a while since... I dunno. But it's been a while that I've seen one of the best artists here in the forums. As usual, I'm really amazed with your artworks and say that a lot of them are (if not nearly) perfect!

Hey, well you know, life keeps you busy, but I'll be poking my head in every once in a while : ) I've really strayed away form making much pokemon art as of late, to be honest, there are a lot of other things to draw! Still pokemon is like... POKEMON! So I can't stay away too long cx

I know and I also know how that feels as well. It's pretty good too that you're drawing arts of different thing aside from Pokemon. I agree with you there. Hopefully you can post some more of your arts here and yeah, I'll check out your gallery if I can on DA. I also have an account but I haven't been using it and no posts on it. :/

Oh, and I also hope you have/had a good Christmas!

Thank you!
It IS tough, takes a lot of time and patience, precision, all that, it's really not something for the impatient kinds haha.

Thanks! It was a well detailed card, so I had lots to work with haha. The real challenge was that Raikou, since it was only line work. It's fun coming up with the shading, but it's easier when you've already got shades well established.

That reminds me, I did a Garchomp and a Mew bookmark, but I gave those to a couple of my friends who like to read haha. Never took pictures of those, sorry.

If anyone is curious about the process I usually take to draw stuff, well here's an example: http://themexicansmeargle.deviantart...lery/#/d4qktu3
