One Pokemon a Day
One Pokemon a Day: Art ChallengeHello there we meet again. Happy 2022. So I've actually been doing this for a bit and I might as well rope you all in on this- I'm doing a challenge where I do one pokemon per day... and now you can do it too! There are no rules. You just draw one Pokemon- it can be any Pokemon, it can be one certain Pokemon, but you have to do it daily. It doesn't have to be a finished rendered piece, it can be a sketch. It just has to be daily. For me, at least, it has to be daily. For you, however, you can join and leave whenever you want. :) Here's my attempts from Day 1 to Day 4: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() No pressure, I'm not forcing you. But you obviously can challenge yourself too. See how long you last! Spoiler: Frequently Asked Questions:

Wow. Everyone here is like the next Da Vinci or something... Lets see I'll try..!

January 5th - Today feels like a self care day
![]() I wasn't even going to render those parts originally, but white tentacles looked weird. Still looks wonky as heck but it's only sorta awful, which is the first step to being kinda good, so there's that. All I have to say, artwise is God bless whoever invented line stabilizers and vector graphics. |
honestly yeah god bless line stabs for existing
i went and did a small animation for day 6 because budew sparks joy ![]() |
January 6th - Omae wa mou shindeiru
![]() So, I was going to do Onceler Meowth, but that sketch came out ridiculously cursed and I couldn't figure out the anatomy, so I went with a simpler drawing. So it wasn't just "copy the reference" I did a little anime expression study. It was kinda fun so that's neat I guess. |
sea doggo learns a new trick ![]() |
I’m signing up but don’t have art for you yet so I guess my streak is already broken but expect something!
Edit: I lied here’s a my little ponyta https://i.imgur.com/SDyHsI7.png |
yall legends :sob: my little pony, scottish seal and dio combee that's glorious
lowkey curious about onceler meowth but u know what im not that curious i'm gonna go to the gym later today i bet i'll be exactly like this ![]() also new added stat: join date (based on my calendar) jkfds |
Technically next day for me

https://i.imgur.com/WxvAnoT.png Cutting-edge technology was used to study the internals of this Pokémon's rock body, but nothing was found—not even a brain or a heart. Spoiler:
|
January 7th - Hot Summer
![]() So, I was just going to do this dumb joke about singing cicadas but the drawing actually came out kinda good - like, I legit like it - even if it isn't "proper anatomy" so I made a version without the joke. I should probably render it sometime since the wing designs get a bit busy without a body color / to work with, but in general I'm okay with the way this turned out. Dumb Joke Spoiler:
|
Now I have to wait until the 8th for another entry but I’ve got such a cute idea lol.

EDIT: Speaking of freebies, here's a second drawing: January 7th (2) - Emergence ![]() Here's a Beedrill emerging from a Kakuna because I had this image in my head earlier and apparently the anime did this (which makes sense because this is great imagery), still, trying to picture a Kakuna by its side or how the wings would bend wasn't trivial (sadly the anime scene had some light effects that killed details). Still, I like this, the one thing I'd try to change for sure is the wings. It should have a "wetter" feel to them that I don't think I figured out how to replicate still. |
Jan 6th and 7th

January 8th - Sleepy
https://imgur.com/g8NLkwj.png So I got COVID and a bunch of college stuff to do, so here's something more on the simpler side. |

Jan 8

https://i.imgur.com/C1FZ1qt.png It wraps itself around its prey and paralyzes it with electricity from the round spots on its sides. Then it chomps. Spoiler:

aaaaaaaaa so many good art omg i love literally all of them!!! the regirock piece gives a rly good ambience, lowkey reminds me of moonlighter for a bit tbh
@Pikaboo simplers good too! proud of u for making it happen still :) and the gastlys rly cute lmao Spooders ![]() Spoiler: Alternate Version for Spidermen
also day 10 since its 12:56am and i wanted a simpler thing to compensate ![]() |
@kitty & Dak: your aesthetics are so *chefs kiss* mwah I just love it. I’m going to low key highjack the art style for a few of these.
|
January 9th - Chingling
https://imgur.com/BaQHxOu.png Just a simple reference study because I feel a bit crap today and there's a lot to deal with (and I don't have a lot of ideas). I might stop and get Photoshop so maybe I can toy with some other stuff in the near future, idk. Probably some brushes because the default one doesn't play well with the pressure settings. |
Day 4
who would throw away something so beautiful inside?https://i.imgur.com/LIbVOVW.jpg |
January 10th - Umbreon
![]() Got Photoshop so I was playing with some brushes and actually doing anatomy. I don't like the end result here but I live the brush textures and I think I could get used with this workflow. Idk. This was a bit of a gap day before I figured out something more creative, lol. EDIT: January 10th (2) - Mushroom Forest https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/182278504648278017/930266598055481344/forest.png?width=616&height=616 So I was playing around with Photoshop and uhh, do 6 Pokémon count for a "daily mon"? It's also a sketch because I'm a baby and I can't render wood, or grass or backgrounds. I guess I'll render this, one day, eventually, but it'll probably be sometime in the future, lol. |
Day 5
Sleepyhead https://i.imgur.com/0CQ3bfL.jpg |
is2g i always look forward to this thread bc of all the daily art-
i keep regretting doing mine at 12am since i forget to check for the rest of the day aaaa @fairy pls your art style is amazing and that trubbish!!! he farts sprinkles its super cute 🥺🥺 @pikaboo that mushroom!!! forest!!! i would like to get lost in it (on a srs note it would count for a daily mon hahaha, mon can be plural :')) also speaking of art software lowkey recommend csp it's cheaper than photoshop's subscription basis if you're working on a computer but if not... krita apparently updated and should be really good too m/w/f are my gym days ![]() |

January 11th - Business Snek
![]() I was seeing weird stock pictures and business snek just happened. |
This is my favorite thread.
|

Day 1, I've created the single worst thing I've ever made. you asked for this
https://i.imgur.com/CiCdXNU.png on the plus side, I found the non-pressure sensitive brushes in CSP! So it's a win! |
Jan 10th and 12th. Skipped 11, unfortunately.
Spoiler:
|
Remoraid(s) and we cannot decide if they were supposed to be green or blue ![]() also added current streak to the stats :D im a stats nerd sue me |
It's funny because I actually started doing this 'draw one Pokemon a day' challenge for myself a couple of days ago after I got some new Twin Markers and I'm just now seeing this thread. :p
Anyway, here's January 7th till January 12th. (I use a random Pokemon generator to decide which Pokemon I'll draw) https://64.media.tumblr.com/5abb6ffd2958e7a41116659aff741cb9/b74e0632ff8ee257-84/s1280x1920/5bf4da06630549666ad0bd14aaf1686466a073b9.png Day 1 [07.01.2022] - #517 Munna Spoiler:

|
Day 2, Feeesh
Spoiler:
I can't really wrap my head around drawing with tablet so I just grabbed my sketchbook and tried my hand at something simple. And failed, but hey |
January 12th - Illegally Smol Chompy Boi
![]() Very much sketchy because inking is feeling like a lot today. I know Durant is a lot bigger canonically but a salty, smol ant just feels funny so here we are. Also, hands are hard. |
|
Randomizer gave me PTSD ![]() |
Jan 13th
Spoiler:
|
I'm speechless. Everything in this thread is perfection and I live for it! Great idea, Kitty!
Hopefully I can keep a streak going. I used a randomiser and got Clauncher and Wishiwashi to draw. I'm not good at drawing sea creatures or backgrounds, I rushed it a little, but here's my first daily mon! |
Day 8
see you space cowboy https://i.imgur.com/hmVaWdZ.jpg |
This is a fun way to test out brushes and styles I haven't done before. ^ ^

Shiny Gastly is one of my favorite shinies and it got completely ruined in the 3D games with those ugly, washed out colors. The HGSS sprite looks amazing though. Too bad shiny Gengar is so much worse. T _ T I might just use Haunter instead. |
Why not:
Yesterday I did castform Spoiler:
Today I did Spinarak Spoiler:
Still a beginner, only with pencil and paper but yeah |
There is so much amazing art in this thread. I love it all! <3
I too shall join in on the daily mon hype! :D Simple pencil&paper drawings though, since that's all I can do. https://i.imgur.com/3xnPc9u.png |
January 14th - Trick Or Treat
https://imgur.com/SJfvFlJ.png So, I had a much more ambitious project, but perspective is hard. So I changed it up to have straight on, but I wasn't feeling like inking and rendering that piece today, so here's something else and I guess I'll eventually finish that and post in some other thread. |

Doing the moody shadows was fun though. The one thing I think I'd change on this was learning how to use those manga ditherey things (half-tones, I think?) s so I'd get that proper manga feel. |
