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.

I am starting a new art project for 2024, a sketchbook!

I will draw things in it with Fine liners, Copic markers and various pens and pencils.

The sketchbook is A6 (pretty small) with carboard toned 250 gsm paper.

I am still looking to get more markers with different shades.

I have finished my first page of the sketchbook.

A haunted house in a field. With these types of illustrations, the less colors I use the better

Second page of the sketchbook.
This is inspired by the Agamand Mills in World of Warcraft. In the front this is Devlin Agamand.

Oh that’s cool! Nice choice with the toned paper and wonderful artwork as always. I wish I had the patience to commit to filling up a sketch book, good luck with it!

@Eel Thank you! Well that is the good think about a sketchbook, you draw in it as much as you want as often as you want

It is not like the Inktober challenge where you have to draw every day on word prompts

@Zuljaras I’m the type of person that feels like they would ruin a nice sketchbook by drawing something ugly, so the result is is I don’t use them 💀

@Eel I thought I was the only person who didn't wanna use a sketchbook cause I would ruin it by using its intended purpose

Inspired by the "Steamboat Willie in public domain" trend, I drew my persona in 1920s cartoon style.

I drew Mei, the main character of my favorite Pixar movie “Turning Red”, which also sparked my interest in Asian culture.

@Zuljaras Ok I did not know that art on paper could look that clean
