I do find it difficult and I'm dealing with that right now actually. I rely on discipline to push myself to draw something, and getting over that hump is the hard part. After I begin, I put some music on and zone out while I draw and find it does relieve stress for a while.

Have you done rattata yet? That one is my favorite 😍

Many countless hours of practice and trial and error 😆

#Pokedex # 937 #Ceruledge!

It was time to use my entire arsenal of colors for this piece! I'm really pleased with how it turned out, as I tried to add my colorful touch to it.

You did wonderfully! Keep it up!

I went through my screenshot folder looking for #sketch inspo...
This guy got caught climbing into the fish tank.

That was the version I had as a kid and is my all time favorite!

A little bit early for #caturday, but I decided to draw a cat in my own style. Please enjoy a break from all my Pokemon drawings.

Aww I love Palmon!

#Pokedex # 408 #Cranidos!

I love #drawing #fossil #Pokemon! They're so much fun and their designs are iconic.

I hope this visage gives you lovely thoughts before you drift off to sleep, and then a wonderful dream ensues! Sleep well Rain and I will see you in the morning 🥰

Pikachu likes car rides.

That is the best news! I'm so happy!

#Pokedex # 281 #Kirlia!

Another evolution line complete! I'm really enjoying have more shades of #blue to play with!

Trust that the ceramic cat didn't last many more days up there 😂

One of the best pictures I have taken of Mr. Jack😻

I'm pretty good at controlling the pressure of a brush tip, but I totally agree!

I've enjoyed using the ohuhu markers as well! I only wish they came with a more pointed brush tip so I could add finer details.

#Pokedex # 350 #Milotic!

I was able to test out some of my new markers with this piece. Not sure if the main color of it's body is quite right, but I know it's close! I was never able to evolve a Feebas in Gen 3 to add this one to my dex..

My first set was ohuhu, but this set is something else I haven't heard of before. They're very similar though.

Thank you Rain! I made sure to carefully shade as best as I am able because of your last comment ☺️

My cheap alcohol markers I ordered from Amazon came today, so I swatched them all. So far they seem comparable to my other ones! I will have to test the fine tips and see how they layer before working on a serious piece. I'm excited nonetheless 🤗 ☺️

#Pokedex # 507 #Herdier!

There's a guy in my neighborhood who walks a #dog that looks like this. He approached me one day while I was playing #Pokemon Go and asked "Are you Pearlstardust?" I always find it funny when someone knows my online name😂

#sketch #drawing #cute #artsky #hatching

I *should* color Kirlia as shiny... since it's the last one of the evolution line and I colored the rest of them normally...

I'm working on FOUR new #Pokemon drawings this morning!
Which one are you excited to see first?
Kirlia, Milotic, Cranidos, or Herdier?

I have the #ink down, just need to color, add hatching, or whatever I think is best.

I'm so happy I finally drew a favorite! Thank you for the tremendous compliments, it means a lot 🥰

I briefly had that thought too after I clicked reply 😂

Thank you! I'm happy you like it 🥰

Thanks! The flames were a lot of fun to play with

Thank you very much!
