I've seen another topic regarding Video Game Fan Art but I wanted to start a thread where anyone who loves drawing can share their own art. Critiques are welcome (just be respectful). I'm majoring in Game Art and I make comic books for fun. I love drawing and really want to put myself out there. I know I have lots of work to do to be a great artist and I strive to do better. Here's two pieces I've worked on since I began attending my college. This is one I worked on yesterday and into earlier today. Took me awhile to work on the trainer. I decided to just use art from Pokémon Dream World as it works better with my art style than the standard Ken Sugiromi's. I've been wanting to do something like this for awhile and I'm glad it turned out good. I regret 'rushing' through it though as the trainer could have looked better had I spent more time. Maybe next time I won't have trouble drawing him again but spend more time tweaking and fixing things. Oh, and he's supposed to look like me (in a 'cartoony' sort of way- like a caricature but not really if you know what I mean. I'll be practicing drawing my favorite Pokémon instead of simply importing them over. I had fun putting in the Pokémon as I had to adjust their height correctly ex. I'm 5'6 and Meganium is 5'11- though I'm not entirely sure they are measuring it standing on it's two back feet; Golem is 4'07 and Carracosta is 3'11 which I made a mistake as it seems that the two are the same height but they're not supposed to be. I also regret not putting Torkoal in as I love turtles and it's one of my favorites. This is one piece I made awhile ago. It was supposed to be a street with a clock tower in the middle (you can at least see the clock tower in it in some form) and working on perspective. Then, I found the ruler tool in Sketchbook Pro and decided to just draw lines and came up with this. You can see different 'faces' in it as well which I thought was pretty cool as one of them wasn't intentional and reminds me of a character from Super Paper Mario. One of my friends said it reminds him of the Black Eyed Peas recent album because of the choices of color I made. This only took me 2 hours to make since it's really simple. I call it "Perfectly Imperfect". EDIT: Fix'd the size of the second picture. Sorry about that TBD.

This is a Christmas drawing I did last year. It's of Toad in his holiday train, delivering presents to Mario and the others.

@MarioLover92 Excellent! I love pencil drawings! You deserve to be called "Official Mario Fan" by Nintendo themselves

Also you are on Twitter! Nice

@Link-Hero This is beige color which is actually skin color. They make it like that so the paint is better represented on it. If you want your colors to pop you place them on top of dark matter.

@BruceCM The video is sped up 5 times This whole thing took me 40+ minutes! I have to continue sometimes next week

Right now I am working on a Pokemon Christmas card for NintendoLife people!

@Zuljaras Thank you! I like doing pencil drawings, and I'm pretty good at doing still-life pieces too. I pretty much made this drawing to be as cute and charming as possible. I like your decorations as well. Yes I'm on Twitter - thanks for the follow!

@MarioLover92 I knew you are a Mario fan but I did not know you are a creative person as well!

A nice surprise!

@Losermagnet Thank you! This figure looks awesome! What kind of paint do you use? Probably acrylic but what brand?

I just finished the holiday card for NL!

Today I got my overhead camera holder and I am starting my Minecraft videos where I will make Minecraft mini worlds (pieces of land) with cubes from colored polymer clay

It is extremely hard and frustrating to make nearly identical cubes from soft polymer clay!

I can't wait to share my first creation here when the time comes!
