Squid's Poke Art

[squidsticks]

Hello, I'm new here! I've just recently got back into Pokemon, and since I love drawing, I thought I'd start myself a little "Pokemon sketch everyday" type project. I made myself a little Tumblr for it, and here's the first sketch.



Pokemon Y is the first gen I've played since, well, the original. I was unbelievably excited when I found out you could catch WILD EEVEES. So this is a monument to that happiness. Um, so I guess I'll try and get another sketch done when I get home from work today, and post it here if people are interested in seeing more!

Finally decided to just go through the new Kalos Pokedexes and sketch one a day. Here's Chespin! Never been a huge fan of its design, but I had fun with this one.

Your drawings are great!
Really pretty and detailed and realistic and wow!

I'll be sure to pop by here again in the future :3

Heya! I'm new too, and a fellow artist! I must say, I'm enjoying your art so far. Your style fits very well with Pokemon. Hope to see more!

 

[squidsticks]

Oh gosh, thanks both! Tomorrow I'm drawing Quilladin, not quite so sure how to interpret that little dude's design, but we'll see! I would really love to see your art, Onigiri ^^ Planning on sharing any here? And lookin' forward to you being a regular, Paleo ;D Can't wait to get to Inkay.

You definitely have an interesting art style going on, while realistic to me it still looks like it retains some cartoon-ish aspects. And I've gotta say I can't do anything of the sort myself (in fact I struggle with realistic drawings). But it makes for some interesting visual appeal as a whole! I especially like your interpretation of Chespin.

No problem! I love seeing other artist's styles and such. And yes! I posted my own art thread. Check it out if you want Looking forward to your next sketch!

Thanks, Dolce! I wanted to avoid getting overly realistic with the Pokemon designs as I think that can often take away from them, but thankfully the style I am most comfortable working in is still fairly cartoony! And I went ahead and looked up your art thread, Onigiri. Super cute, your style compliments the Pokemon designs so well!

Today's sketch is Quilladin, woohoo! Don't worry, I won't come here and post every day, I don't want to end up spamming haha. Maybe every week I'll post my favourite one or two from my project!



If anyone is interested in seeing my Poke-sketches every day, the project is here.

It's always nice finding a style your comfortable with. x)

What? Don't say that! Sharing your work isn't spam. But will say Quilladin came out really great, it's like s/he's wearing a poofy jacket of sorts.
