This was done in my sketchbook back in November, along with that Snom drawing I did. With everything going on, I couldn't motivate to shade or anything--so, it's merely a flat coloring.

I honestly didn't realize that Scorbunny doesn't have colored paws--WELL, MINE APPARENTLY DOES, SO LIVE WITH IT. XD This is what I get for relying on memory for things and not finding good ref pics that aren't like pixel size................ wry laugh I have the PokeDex guide now, but it didn't help me THEN........

It's not my starting party or even my regular use party or even my favorite Pokemon (or you'd see a Lucario and a Mimikyu there) that are somehow in Sword/Shield. It's just an assortment of Pokemon I like (I guess) from the new game. chuckle My Starter was Scorbunny in Shield--and I did like my Chewtle (until it evolved), who was named Cora (female)............and my Trainer's name is Drake. He also has that black letterman jacket normally, but I didn't want to draw it.............

I'M STILL PEEVED WE CAN'T GET MORE LOOK AND CLOTHING OPTIONS FOR MALE TRAINER CHARACTERS. I mean, what's the point of customization if you can't customize a male character? I MEAN SERIOUSLY, THIS IS THE LONG-HAIRED LOOK FOR THE MALE TRAINER!!! Long-hair?! Why do NPC's (yes, Leon, I mean you!) get to have hair long enough that you could cut half and donate to Locks of Love and STILL HAVE PRETTY LONG HAIR?! I don't get it. It's some kind of sexist or something...........Jason David Frank was absolutely gorgeous with his long hair, seriously. Men are allowed to have long hair and we should be able to customize our male Trainers with hair as long as we want. :<

    The colours are so bold and bright - really eye catching! The gradient on the Ponyta's mane in particular is sooo smooth

      Thanks so much! I would've liked to do shading, but real life said "you have no time"! XD

      This is a brilliant kind of marker that I used on the mane and I encourage you to look for them--they're called "Chameleon" markers and I LOVE these things. If I were made of money, I'd have more of them!!! You can basically blend colors or use a colorless blender to do a light-to-dark gradient. They have basic marker sets (unfortunately, at least as expensive as Copic 6-marker sets) and at my Michael's art & hobby store there were six sets (a blue, a red, a yellow, a green, a purple and a basic-bold set), there could be more, though. They are dual ended, a brush tip and a point tip, with a colorless blender installed. You hold the marker upsidedown on the tip you plan to use and attach the blender to the top for a few seconds--because of gravity, it'll dilute the marker ink a little and as you color, it'll go from light to dark. The longer you hold the tip on, the longer before the ink changes back to "normal" BUT HERE'S THE COOL PART.......you can buy separate sets of colored tips to blend with the dual-ended markers (rather than the colorless blender). So I have a blue set and a red set, then I bought a purple set of the blenders. I used the purple blender tip with one of the blue markers and just plotted where I wanted it to begin as purple-ish and colored out until it turned blue, then did the opposite direction. :)

      This is a piece I did to show off the full set of markers I'd gotten at the time--so you can see the various gradients you can get: https://www.weasyl.com/~keirajo/submissions/1831413/new-marker-fun-morelull

        Oohh I've heard of those but I never saw them in action! They work beautifully here! and that showcase piece is very helpful :)!

          I really like them a lot!!! I need to start looking for them online, since Michael's barely keeps them in stock and I don't see them at all at Hobby Lobby. They are so much fun to use, I think.......and I have the perfect colors for Galar Ponyta's mane and tail! :D
