Pokemon fanart was how I started taking art seriously over a decade ago; and Ash’s journey is coming to a close is extremely bittersweet. I’m an adult who has been drawing for what feels like forever, but it still kinda feels like the training wheels are coming off.
The me who started off copying drawings from the Pokedex book at the library would be amazed at what I can do now! Thank you to the many people who have worked on the Pokemon Anime for this journey. And thank you for a character whose fierce determination and relentless optimism has inspired so many.
