a study in pokemon drawings: the zergrush story (art, many large images)

This is great progress for sure! Hands are very difficult to draw and you'll probably have a hard time finding someone who will disagree lmao.

With hands, I find it a lot easier to work around each joint individually and link them up to each other, so don't do straight into drawing the whole finger in one ago. That way you can focus on how each finger is formed step by step. The shading is also coming a long really well, I can see you're gaining a lot more control over your lines which is a really difficult skill in itself. From here you can develop your mid-tones and help the light areas stand out. (sorry if this is stuff you already know!)

Ooh, I like that advice, actually. I know you're supposed to learn to breakdown the bone structure and muscle stucture in order to best get the appearance down, so working by joint helps. And thanks, I probably need to find my lighter pencils somewhere so I can shade a bit more effectively. (Even if it was stuff I already knew, reinforcement helps me!)

Indeed sound advice - hands are always difficult

Aw, thanks. Glad someone else liked it too <3

Yeah, was the theme of the day for the Pokemon drawing event! I can draw more dragons if you want... but first:



Finally working on that Cosmog. Blending is actually much easier than I thought it'd be!

[PharaohAtem]

oooh I love it so cute but they are cute.

[Nocchi]

Oh my gosh, your cosmog is so cute!! I can't wait to see the finishing product, good shadows so far too!

[Sirena]

I can't wait for the finish product of cosmog

[H03nn89]

Oh the colour!! Loving it

[lolin]

Taa-dah!



Things learned:
-Watch more videos on blending
-Watch videos on color picking
-Learn to use layer masks
-Fix LazyNezumi
-MORE LAYERS (I finished with 30+ layers)

[H03nn89]

Aw that is so cool!

[Nocchi]

This is absolutely amazing [mention=881]omfgzergrush[/mention]!!
