My technique tends to be similar! I do start with a sketch at first though (often pretty vague) and then paint before adding lines at the end!

A photo of 6 prints of illustrations. Some mainly colored pencil, some digital art. 

First row (left to right): 
The first shows a flowers, mainly daffodils, in a jug. There are two snails next to the jug. 
The second shows an orange cat standing on a branch in between orange/yellow fruit and leaves. The background is blue and on the top and bottom is a blue and white pattern as a frame. 
The third has a small white cat with a straw hat in a blue box, surrounded by more blue boxes with oranges in them. There again is a frame on the top and bottom of the image, this time out of oranges. 

Second row (left to right):
Sketches of critters, moths/flying insects, caterpillars and a snail, all in rainbow colored pencil.

A white tiger with blue and pink stripes (in trans colors) sitting in water with flowers behind it. 

A cat holding a flag pole with fish flags and colorful ribbons that dance in the wind. The cat walks over a green field

I’ve created many artworks that looked terrible during the process. I used to get discouraged and frustrated, but I’ve learned to look at them and instead go β€žoh well, it can’t get worse, so let’s just do whatever”. Funny enough, with the pressure gone, they tend to end up looking decent!

A work in progress picture of an illustration of the PokΓ©mon Staryu laying on the seashore. The drawing only has a marker layer, messy, streaky and muddy.

Finished illustration of the PokΓ©mon Staryu laying on the seashore. Not as bad as the work in progress picture!

Don’t be discouraged if your art looks β€žbad” at first. The ugly phase is real! Trust the process and don’t give up 😊

Thank you so much! I love to imagine Pokémon in these mundane little moments, just going about their lives, out in the world like you said 🩡

I’ve tried it before and I liked it but the main hurdle for me is all the setup it requires! I have acrylic gouache (it’s matte acrylic) and it’s lovely but it’s hard to squeeze the right amount of paint and not waste it (once dry, it’s gone) and cleanup is a lot. I wanna try regular gouache again.

Thank you so much! And I love the peaceful feelings sea waves bring me. I wanted to portray Staryu enjoying that, too :)

A kind stranger just tipped me 140% of my goal on ko-fi 😯 I was saving for a gouache set (my old one was killed by mold). Thank you! Time to try learning gouache again!

Things like this always take me by surprise. I’m so flattered that you all support my art. I never expected it to happen. πŸ₯Ή

Thank you! Truth be told it kind of happened as a happy accident πŸ˜† I messed up and it looked all muddy so I colored over it with pink

Thank you! It’s water-based markers as a base, then colored pencils and wax pastels on top

Digital illustration: Pokemon fan art. It depicts Mantine swimming in the sea, with a Remoraid under one of its fins. They’re surrounded by a few Luvdisc, with more of them faintly visible in the background
