Pencils and shavings...

Good morning! It's been awhile, but I'm going to try to be consistent with posting this time. Over the past few days I've been trying to do a little more than just line art, which means I 'colored' some of my pictures. I call it coloring, but really all I do is shade in different shades of gray. This time though, I actually DO have a colored picture to show you guys, even if it's not well done, it's still actually colored.

 These first two I am very proud of, since I have little experience in shading and making things their correct value and at the same time keep the focus where I want it. The first, the one set in a library, is my favorite.

This is my second attempt with colored pencils in two years, and is considerably better than the first, though not as good as I wanted it too be. I guess you have to draw the line somewhere though. *sigh*
I will have to practice with colored pencils more...

Sketchdump #2

Well, I've got nothing else to do. Next post will be on using digital media and how I work photoshop into my art along with my art program, Manga Studios 4 and other things in that general area will be the main topic of the next couple of posts.

Sketchdump #1

Just a bunch of random pics I've drawn recently/unrecently. :P
As you can see from the first three I've been hooked on manga girls with guns.

How to draw Evee as Flareon

Here is my step-by-step pic of how to draw Flareon, the Pokemon Evee, in his fire form.


1. draw the main blocks; in this case circles.

2. draw lines indicating where you want the legs to go.

3. flesh everything out.

4. erase all guidelines

5. add his spiky mane and tail and fix up the lines

6. Color it.

And there your have it, how to draw the Pokemon Flareon.
