[Brad Ketchum]

These are good. I especially like the Mew.

[blackmoonflower]

Thank you very much, I'm glad you think so.

[The Darkest Gale]

These are good but if I was being very critical I'd say your shiny charizard is a bit to dark which kind of doesn't make the eyes stand out or the eyes should be a little bit more reddish (don't take anything personalits just my opinion)
everything is perfect though for shape and everything maybe chimchar head is little bit too pointy
I love celebi,beedrill,lucario and mew the most

[ArmageddonAsh]

i would have to say Mew and Celebi are my favorite
and i agree shiny charizard is a bit too dark, but rest okay
Raikou's head seems a bit too small

[Giratina ♀]

Larvitar doesn't show up. I agree with the others in saying Shinyzard is a little sloppily colored, but otherwise you have some very good skills with a colored pencil! I recommend working on your anatomy, though, and how the characters move. A few of the characters' faces are messed up (the Chimchar comes to mind) and their bodies moving rather strangely (such as the rather stiff Lucario and bendy-necked Rapidash - I'm fairly sure horses have straighter necks than that. D: ).

Bottom line: you're very good, but remember to take another look at your sketches before you color them in to see if anything looks unnatural.

Chimchar did come out a little pointy, and the eyes might be slightly out of place, but that's just my rendition of it.

The scanner morphed shinyzard's colors slightly, so my apologies.

Raikou's head is a little small, but I thought it looked cute, so I kept it.

Larvitar isn't showing up? It's there, so I don't know why you can't see it.

The flame on Rapidash's neck makes it look kinda curvy, but I thought it looked alright.



Thank you all for your opinions, and I'll try to improve. But, I'm not Ken Sugimori, they're just my personal renditions.

[Halberdier]

Pretty solid stationary poses. Next step could be action scenes and back grounds.

I think the phrase "messed up" is a bit overexaggerated. And you need to note that Rapidash's flames is like a mohawk, it's centered along it's spine. I can see it's structure.

Overall, these are the best I have seen on this site. I love the Beedrill and Larvitar the best. Everyone has their own style, no one is Ken but Ken himself, and I like to see other styles rather than Ken, Ken, Ken.

Oh, I am a artist myself, so I know what I am talking about. ;]

[blackmoonflower]

Thank you both.

[The Darkest Gale]

I forgot to say that before rapidash wasn't showing I must admit it is perfect I see nothing wrong at all. Its my favourite

[blackmoonflower]

Thanks.

I take requests, if anyone wants a drawing. Gives me something to do. XD

[Trent_Jayir]

Nice, the poses are interesting and your shading is really good, have you ever considered investing in some markers?
I think they'd give your work a nice finish, thats all. ~

Also, if you want something to do i wouldn't mind seeing a tyranitar or Magikarp Your Larvitar looks epic~
And a little tip that i know helps me, when you think you're done sketching, why not try turning the page upside down or, looking at the image in a mirror. you'll see 'mistakes' in it alot more easily ~ Hope that helps you!

[The Darkest Gale]

oh Please do an aron
I know it will awesome
I may have said this a lot but you are one of the best hand-drawer artist kinda people (whatever) I've seen
serious

[blackmoonflower]

Thanks for the advice, Trent. I do have some markers, but I prefer working with pencils.

*writes down requests on list* Okay, I'll get to them as soon as possible. Thanks for the praise, Gale.

[Link1000]

its pretty good concidering its done all by free hand good work keep it up :)

[Youji]

Rucario

Spoiler:

Pose
Cool pose, not as boring as the most ones but I miss a bit perspective here. Dunno but something seems to miss here^^.

[4/5]

Shading
The shading on Rucario is quite well done. Somewhat weird on the stomach. I guess it's a bit too bright there compared to the connected parts. But apart from that it's fine.

[3,5/5]

Detail
I really like this spike on the right arm. It fits in so fluently and all that. The fist is missing some details for its 'fingers' and also the paws for his legs are a bit too 'invisible'. The tail looks a bit weird for me.

[3,5/5]

Overall
[11/15]

Raikou

Spoiler:

Pose
I dunno. A bit too plain and yeah... Raikou should have an agressive pose I guess :D

[3/5]

Shading
The shading is well done but the left back leg is more in the back then the right back one but they have (at least there's not much difference) the same darkness. The same for the front leg. The part from his neck and until the stomach is also a little wrong shaded.

[2,5/5]

Detail
You've done a great job on the typical 'magic wand' tail of Raikou. What I don't like is the face... It looks a way too friendly.

[3,5/5]

Overall
[9/15]

Beedrill

Spoiler:

Pose
Very cool :D For Beedrill it's hard to find a good pose but I that's a very nice one ;D

[5/5]

Shading
By far the best shading. I don't see much wrong with it. Maybe a little bit with the right part of the wings but meh.

[4,5/5]

Detail
Nice details on the wings but I'm not too sure with the fat body part. It does look strange a bit. But yeah for the arms and the legs ;D

[4/5]

Overall
[13,5/15]

Rapidash

Spoiler:

Pose
THIS POSE IS EPIC!

[6/5]

Shading
That's the part I am missing somehow... I don't really see a shading or lightning structure but somehow it doesn't matter here :D It's still cool.

[3,5/5]

Detail
I like how you expressed the muscle part of the legs and such. Also I like its fire and the whole stuff ;D

[5/5]

Overall
[14,5/15]

I may do the rest somewhat later :D

But THUMBS UP. You're very talented.

[blackmoonflower]

Thanks for the ratings. I'm glad you liked them.

Yeah, some of them didn't turn out quite as I planned, but I'm still learning.

[poopnoodle]

I'm impressed with your coloring techniques, though the structure of the Pokemon could be considered somewhat awkward by those who are picky about accuracy. I find Lucario's pose to be a bit uncomfortable-looking and the outline of Shiny Charizard stands out in a bit of an intrusive way, and for some reason Celebi lacks the elegance it boasts in the anime. I suppose those are the things you could work on though I don't like to tell people how to ~do their arts,~ just giving my two Yen. (I very much adore your rendition of Larvitar, by the way, everything about it.)

[blackmoonflower]

I've finally gotten the drawings done. Sorry if any of them look awkward. Never drew any of these before. And my scanner is crap...

Anyway, on to the art!

Magikarp:

Spoiler:

Tyranitar:

Spoiler:

Aron:

Spoiler:

[Trent_Jayir]

hahah aww magikarp <3! win. i love the pose you gave it, makes a difference from the usual, as with all your drawings! :3
also, kudos on the tyranitar! (woo! >D!) Tyranitar are so difficult to draw *at least, i found them to be* and you did so well! Also, i wanted to say you did a great job shading it, too.

Great stuff! keep it up! :'D

[blackmoonflower]

Thank you.
Yes, Tyranitar was hard. VERY hard. lol

[Trent_Jayir]

hahah yeah... i've drawn it a load of times now, i swear it gets harder each time, too... @_@;;;
nope! very well done! you coped with it really really well! : >

[Eeveon]

These are some great drawings, especially Mew; it's cute! <3

But, Mew looks pregnant and Rapidash's eyes scare me a little.

[blackmoonflower]

Oh look, non-pokemon art...
