    I draw it.

    Hello PokeCommunity, I am SooperTrooper. Like most people, I've been drawing my whole life, starting with those awful doodles as a child.
    My drawings looked like mushrooms crossed with mermaids.
    I've expanded my drawing skill over the years and learned new techniques. I'm obviously not the best artist here, and I know they aren't really that good, but why not.

    I do a variety of things; Pixel Art, Pencil-Paper drawing, painting, photoshop drawings, etc.

    So go ahead and take a look-see;

    Artist Notes: I'll just start you off with that today. I'll be posting some more stuff later, perhaps. Anyways, enjoy !

     
    The fill doesn't look very good, there's white all over your lineart.

    Maybe you should try to do the lineart, then have a colour layer underneath? It'll make your lines look so much cleaner.
     
    Your lines look really iffy. You have to really color close to them and not just use the fill tool.
     
    As this was made in Paint, I didn't really try to the best of my ability. It was actually just an attempt to test out a drawing technique, not to focus on the color.

    Now, since I have a scanner, I can redraw it.
     
    Try downloading Gimp, then colouring on a new layer. Then, turn the layer to Multiply. It should work wonders for your colouring.

    Or you could be lazy and just use the fill tool, but it might not come out as clean.
     
    Oh it's alright, I have photoshop and use the 'multiply layer' technique all the time on line art. The magikarp angst is actually supposed to have that 'plastered-paint' look.

    I'll post an example of my coloring later.
     
    These are ok. They need some smootness. Magikarps lips are too fat, and the libes are choppy. Smooth them out, then hand color them on a new layer. (photoshop,etc).

    Im assuming you have a tablet. Good start.
