Learn to express what you are feeling without agonizing over it. It is a life skill every bit as important as learning how to read. Without it, dissatisfaction builds up, arguments break out, and relationships can blow up like volcanos.

Drawing 3: Ampharos! One of my favorite electric type evolution lines!!

Oh my god. I am so tired of working with yellow. And with the shitty graphics of my 3ds lol. Any time I have to work with bright colors like varying shades of pale yellow/white/beige, I literally cannot see the difference and am just wiggling the pen around hoping SOMETHING is happening. At one point, I literally erased an hour’s work of coloring to start over just because it was Not Happening. But since the whole point of this is to not obsess over the perfection of something I created, I’m posting this anyway :/

I was busy most of the day so I wasn’t able to work on this until the night. That said, I’m still counting it for yesterday even if it’s past midnight :P.

The reference photo is pretty cute! Even if I’m using my no lineart excuse style to get away with doing backgrounds that are just smudges of colors, I feel like I’m getting a bit better at the concept of backgrounds at least.

Drawing 2: If you couldn’t tell from my url, it’s my favorite pokemon!!!! Whimsicott’s design is SO good and creative and I love that they can wreak havoc with their Prankster ability. 

Used one of the official trading card art pieces as reference, I think it came out okay! Even if it still looks like a little kid drew it, it’s better than the first time I tried to draw Whimsicott anyway lol. 

Just like last time, I drew it on my 3DS haha so I’m REALLY starting to feel the limitations of that...medium. I have to get really creative by juggling sketches between layers because I only get 2 layers!!! Which, granted, is one more than traditional pen and paper, but also makes it very difficult for when you want to experiment with erasing lineart and suddenly realize that there’s no going back bc you didn’t save beforehand. Also now that the image is on my laptop, I’m seeing issues with the colors that didn’t show up on my 3DS screen. But it’s okay because I think the curtains look preeeetty cool!

The colors are a lot better than yesterday though because... I totally forgot the blend tool existed!!!! I really spent hours handpicking a million shades of green yesterday!!

Oh well :P I don’t know if I have the willpower to keep drawing every day but we’ll see. Per the request of my friend, next drawing attempt will be Ampharos O-O

I always find beauty in things that are odd and imperfect, they are much more interesting.
