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.

@Zuljaras Yep no phone mainly because right now I have no need for one right now. But I do have a Kindle Fire tablet and a PC, which is what I do art on right now. (I mainly only use my Chromebook now, because I can type and get my thoughts out faster)

@Kermit1 I love my phone! Firstly I use it for work because I have apps that are mandatory to access the VPN and the application at work.

But most importantly it is for YouTube everywhere and as a bonus I get notification from NintendoLife when someone tagged me so I can answer as soon as possible. And all of this is happening in the palm of my hand and everywhere

I thought drawing with the IPad but mine is currently going through the stupid issue of the system eating up all my space, so i'm going to have to restore it before it bootloops.

@Snatcher I am extremely anti-Apple but I must admit that the iPads are the absolute perfect drawing tablets.

My drawings changed so much after I got my iPad

Just wanted to briefly pop in and say that I do visit and enjoy this thread, though I don't comment in it hardly at all. There's always something new and interesting to see. Keep at it everyone!

I just finished sculpting and making Simon Belmont from Castlevania 1

I hope that my diorama turns out good!

As you can see it is in smaller scale which means that my details might be .. bad.

@TheBladeOfRoses
Try to give some color gradation on the hairs, skins and outfits. Use black marker to bold the outline. It will looks tidier.
Look at my hand drawing of Chibi Pokemon trainer above. 👆
