Sofia's Sketchbook

[SofiaVallen]

Hey there, I like to draw so I'm going to put my drawings and doodles here! I'm also getting started with spriting so expect some of that too.

Drawings:

Spoiler:

My Lileep and Marill from my pseudo-wonderlocke run on Pokemon X. (I say pseudo because I'm ignoring the rule about pokemon dying. I suck too much to pull that off.) Used it as an excuse to test out the gouache paint I got for christmas.

My Fletchinder, also from my pseudo-wonderlocke. I was playing around with the lighting effects in Paintstorm Studio.

Sprites:

Spoiler:

My first pokemon spriting attempt. Fletchling! Traced from this image.

I don't know, some kind of tongue squirrel? First scratch sprite attempt, using the lamest fakemon design I could think of off the top of my head.

Nice gallery, that Fletchinder is sick! That's probably my favorite piece in the gallery, hope to see more. :)

Thank you! ^W^

I made another picture in the same program just now, this one was a quick speedpainting of Umbreon:

HI there! Welcome to PC. :3

That Flechling is adorable! Its pose and positioning is so well done. Your pixel art is actually very clean if that was your first attempt! Small note, be careful and be selective with your dithering, you don't want any checkerboard birdies! Overall though, really solid first try. Much better than my own first attempt hahaha.

That Umbreon is really nice too. :)

Thanks! But what if I like checkerboard birdies? :( Kidding, I did go a bit wild with that. I'm just not used to working with cel shading, I'll get over it. (Almost wrote checkerbirds.)

What program do you use?

Paintstorm Studio. It's an incredible program. It's on sale for just $20 right now.

I love that gouache painting of yours! I'm a fan of that style and the Lileep & Marill you drew look great : - D

And of course, the same can be said for your Fletchinder and Umbreon drawings. I like how the style you went for in those two works differs from the first one (or at least it looks like that to me, since one is traditional while the others are digital, haha).
Very nice work, Sofia!
(I'll have to check out that program you use, Paintstorm Studio, because I've never heard of it before).

Thanks! :D I'm hoping to do some more gouache later. I think the difference in style is more me trying to get used to the program, my sketching process on the computer is a lot different than my process on paper, but I'm glad it worked out.

This is a fake title screen I tried making for a ROM hack I'll probably never get to do since all the tools are failing on my computer. I would probably clean it up some if it were the real deal, but I'm happy with how the Volcarona came out.

Fletchinder, awesome.

Seriously, it is great. Nice details and very neat.

Finally got comfortable enough with Paintstorm Studio to try painting a person. It's my trainer OC Nani. Fairly happy with how it came out, all things considered.

My thread got featured on the pokecommunity twitter, holy cow. :O Anyway, here's a cute little absol I painted. Still getting the hang of this program.

What type of Tablet do you use? Have you ever used Paint Tool Sai?
