• Snag some vintage SPL team logo merch over at our Teespring store before January 12th!

my draws, look at them

It's been really satisfying seeing your illustration style take shape over the past few years. You draw human faces now with more expression and detail, and Pokemon with an added focus on gesture and stylization. You did a great job with your color choices in this most recent illustration; the orange tones on her right and the more bluish shadow tones on her left give me a sunset vibe, even with just the white background.
 
managed to miss your post but i read it now and it made my day, ty

dreamed of pokemon trainers having smol battle avatars like these so here you go

Oml i love your newer art so so much, your ability to use silhouette and line weight is basically unmatched on smogon i feel, and every piece of yours feels like it has its own identity. If you don't mind, could you pass me some tips on silhouette sometime? I feel like w a lot of my stuff i forget about it until the end, and when I do remember it it takes me 6-7 sketches to get a good one, if i even get a good one at all haha. Tysm in advance for whenever you respond, your art is amazingly professional and awesome and i love it, oki i'll pop out now, bye;;!!!!

you're too kind!! there's a whole bunch of more experienced quality artists too look into out there though. only thing i can say is if you're struggling to get a good base shape/pose during sketching just continuing to lineart etc. regardless is not a good idea until you're comfortable with what you have as your sketch. it does depend on the artist at the end of the day but if you leave a sketch with a part of it still unclear/unsure how you'd make it work later, if you're not confident you'll be able to just re-work and solve those problems later during the process you'll just end up in a pinch.

for pokemon stuff especially it can be easier as a lot of them have a super simple shape with a big head + smol body that you can put in different angles and positions without too much trouble. if you're referencing official art try not to just repeat that same pose and try something even just a little different. you'll want to do the same with actual characters at some point but i'd imagine you can have some quick practice on pokemon as well whenever you're able to!

If this is a feel good drawing, then why must Tangela remain sad? :blobsad:

Seriously though, this piece is really nice! The comforting color choices really help sell the cozy vibe of it. It's also nice to look through the illustration at all the little hidden details too! I should also say on an unrelated note that I'm loving your series of small mon illustrations, they're all very cute and unique!
 
here's something from last weekend

Thank you for the kind words! I haven't done a lot of digital art last year so I decided to at least take some time out of my day to draw simple, comforting stuff and I feel like the small mons are a big part of that. I'd be happy to know that these are as cozy and cute for some of the people viewing as they were relaxing to draw on my end.

I have to be in the top ten of your biggest fans at this point wtf, I adore the way you experiment with your art and instill a sense of ease into your lines, expressions, and colors (nothing ever feels harsh with you). also the pkmn crossovers (the ”smol mons”)!? I’d kill to see more of those just because they make me smile

keep it pushing x

Oh my gosh! Your stickers are adorable! They actually remind me a little bit of bluekomadori’s not-painterly style (which I LOVE) plus a little bit of a ghibli look with the lines and expressions. You have that effortlessness and sweetness and sheer expressiveness in your art! It’s just so charming. The lighting and line work on the budew especially is just fantastic.

It’s also just so cool to see the experimentation and evolution in your art through these past few pages. I especially love the “smol mons,” the plant store piece, and the Valentine’s Day piece (gives me some Ilya Kuvshinov vibes tbh!). And the Roselia and Hydreigon on page 3! Really cool stuff.

Hope you’re having a beautiful day!

Just wanted to drop by and compliment you on the lovely artwork! I especially like the Sigilyph and Unown drawings; those are two of my absolute most favorite mons and I rarely see any good artworks of them.
