Pokemon D/P

[Lazerboy5000]

I was feeling inspired again, so I drew this one today, I hope you like it.

Please comment and tell me what you think.

Anatomy's pretty wonky. Have you considered constructing the characters from skeletons first instead of just drawing them clean? It makes a world of difference.

No, I usually just try to get a general shape. I'll have to try it some time.

[Lazerboy5000]

Hopefully this one is better.
It's supposed to be Ash after a battle and he's thinking about Paul... thus he is in the background. I was watching some freeze frames, but I think it's a little better. The smudge in the bottom right was supposed to be Pikachu, but it wasn't comming out right, so I scrached it (I tryed like 5 times, just didn't work :p )

So, what do you think?

[J. B. Warner]

You have a tendency to draw the characters with their arms and legs radically out of proportion to the rest of their bodies. I don't know if it's intentional, but if not, you might want to study the rules of scale a little more.

If you want, I can help you out - I can make you a model sheet that'll demonstrate how to construct the characters' bodies. I've studied the "Pokémon" style extensively, so I can draw Ash and the others pretty well.

[Lazerboy5000]

Now that you mention it, it does seem that the arms and legs look a little weird. I knew something looked a little off, but I couldn’t figure out what at first. (No it’s not intentional)

And sure, I wouldn’t mind getting a little help.

[Lazerboy5000]

I practiced drawing my favorite pokemon: Umberon.

I was watch my tape, and it still had "Ill-Will Hunting" on it, so I paused it at points so I could get a rough sketch of Gary's Umberon.

Here's my latest drawing.

[J. B. Warner]

Not bad, although Brock seems a little shorter than usual. When I make your next model sheets, I'll send you a size relation chart too.

[Lazerboy5000]

I found a little time in between homework and swimming to practice a little more.

(now if only I can get f***ing MySpace to upload my photo... it's talking FOREVER!)

Edit: OMG, I've tryed 5 times... still nothing...

Edit2: I got the photo uploaded [finally]...

[J. B. Warner]

Pretty good! The hands are a little small, though. (Oh, and I apologize for being so late on the model sheets - I'm a little swamped with DeviantArt-related projects at the moment.)

No need to worry. :p I've been swamped with homework. I'm getting a 3.0 right now, and for me that's really bad. :sad:

[Lazerboy5000]

I've been practicing a lot, but still just front views. I think it almost second nature by now. I can do it without looking at the model sheet anymore, so I guess that's an improvement.

Well, here's some more.

That would make a neat coloring book for kids.:robin:

[Lazerboy5000]

Lol, I guess. I haven’t started coloring my pictures yet. I don’t think I have the right program on my computer to color them. I could always just use color pencils, but who knows where those are hiding in my house.

But I will take that as a compliment seeing how they must look real enough to be considered for a coloring book.

[Lazerboy5000]

I have been a little busy lately, but I had plently of time yesterday to come up with a few sketches. This time, Lucario. 2 are eye ball traces (from Movie 8, which I taped just for the hell of it) and two are free draw (the one on the bottom is free draw). And I colored it with colored pencils! :anime:

[Racattack!Force]

While your drawing of the human characters could use some work (Dawn looks like a man), the Pokemon look pretty good.

[Lazerboy5000]

Another Lucario. It looks really good if I say so myself.

Oh, and I also did this one (sorry, no color)

Its cool to see that you are so inspired by Pokemon, something I can relate to somewhat. I recall the days I would draw off Pokemon cards :p But yeah, anyways!

You got some cool ideas down, and you have some great ground work down. Maybe pick up a few books on the human body (or even the anime "human body") or look around online and try - I don't wanna say copy, but kinda mimic they way things flow.

But no, besides that I really do like the force you have going behind your art. And you keep brining more out and thats really what anyone needs is practice.

Thanks a lot. I am thinking about picking up a book at the libary on how to draw anime people.

I also remember when I copied some Pokemon cards... and I looked at one of those from close to 9 years ago about a week ago, and WOW are they bad. :p

[Lazerboy5000]

A couple more.

this one is Jack Walker from Movie 9.

And this one is Ash running. this was the best one of of about 3 others I drew.

I think my next are my best yet. :anime:

[Lazerboy5000]

Well, I haven't posted in quite a long time, jsut becuase I haven't been able to scan any picture at college. But since I home for fall break I took the oppurtitunity to scan a few picutres.

This is probably the best picture I've drawn over the past few months (and I ahven't drawn a whole lot :p ).

The two on the right were traces, then i drew the two on the left free hand. yey, it came out really good IMO.

And color, yey again.

[fiero84]

wow..takes me back to the late 90s-millenium when I watched the series.
The background water-color like artwork was like a zen garden, calmed me down.

I like your stuff. Looks like something for a child's coloring book.
Pokemon are neat....Ash looks taller than I remember.

[Lazerboy5000]

This one is me and Umbreon. Umbreon looks really good, but I kind of messed up my shoes... oh well. It still looks pretty cool.

http://c2.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/56/l_9230635fbfe549cda4e03a9508036b0d.jpg

[Lazerboy5000]

It's been while since I've put someting up. My scannerwas outfor a couple weeks when I got home, but it's working again now.

I'm actually very pleased with how this one cam out. Ash, Me,and Paul.

[LooneyTunerIan]

I'll take some of the model sheets. :) I need help learning how to draw Ash and Misty right, but I can't construct the characters bodies right.
