Raggak's Art Journey

A picture of a sketchbook. On the top half of the page, I have drawn Aegislash from memory. They are in their stance with the shield to their side, and their body is changed to a less decorative sword. At the bottom I've drawn them from reference, in the side shield pose.

Doodled Aegislash on my lunch break today! I made them a little less decorative from memory, which is wild because I felt like I could remember them vividly!

A sketchbook containing several Pokémon doodles. On the left page, I have doodled Accelgor from memory and with a reference On the right page, both me and Phil have doodled Chimecho from memory, and I did a quick tiny doodle with a reference.

A picture of Pokémon doodles in a sketchbook. On the left page, Shauni and me have doodled Pumkaboo and a sonic head from memory. On the right page, brogan has doodled a Pumkaboo from memory. Sophie has also doodled a sonic head!

Had friends over on Sunday, and we took turns drawing Pokémon again! I did Accelgor, Chimecho and Pumpkaboo from memory, and then Phil, Shauni, Brogan and Sophie all joined in!

Forgot to draw a referenced Pumpkaboo, but it was fun!

Two pages in an A6 sketchbook. On the left page, I drew Dolliv from memory and from reference. On the right page, Shauni drew Latias from memory and from reference!

Two pages in an A6 sketchbook. On the left page, Dan drew Nacli from memory and from reference! On the right page, James drew Pupitar from memory and from reference!

Two pages in an A6 sketchbook. On the left page, I drew Poipole from memory and from reference. On the right page, Nataliehaku drew Cloister from memory!

Two pages in an A6 sketchbook. On the left page, Brogan Coral drew Wailmer from memory! On the right page, Sophiralou drew Daschbun from memory!

Had a really fun time today at Geek Fayre, me and some friends tried drawing Pokémon from memory together!

Today's sketches come from myself, Shauni, Dan, James, Nataliehaku, Brogan Coral, and Sophira Lou! We drew Dolliv, Latias, Nacli, Pupitar, Poipole, Cloister, Wailmer and Daschbun!

Two doodles of Goodra in a sketchbook. The top one is drawn from memory, the bottom from reference. The memory drawing has drips coming from all over their body, has much shorter horns on their head, is missing their antenna, and the purple segment of their stomach ends at their chest instead of head. The tail also has a ball end instead of a curl tip. This Goodra is waving happily. The referenced drawing matches the official design, and has their paws touching beneath their head and is winking.

Got some time to doodle at work today, here's Goodra!

He's so bottom heavy! This is the first time I've really enjoyed drawing a larger Pokémon so much, maybe will have to memorise his design and draw him more often!

Two sketches of polteageist in an A6 sketchbook. The top one is drawn from memory, and the bottom from reference The top one has a rounded base and floral patterns along it. The ghost potion inside is holding up the teapot lid. The pot is also not damaged. The referenced sketch closely matches the official reference art.

A doodle headshot of Shinx on card using brush markers, done without any sketch lines

Some quick doodles while I'm at a friends house! Polteageist and a speed memory Shinx!

Friend let me try out their brush markers and it was fun! I wanna try doing speed doodles like this more!

Cropped screenshot of my furred dragon fursona Raggak. He is standing looking to his right, with his right arm raised and index finger on that paw pointing upwards. The drawing is lines only on a blank background, no colour.

Been slowly chipping away at a much bigger piece tonight, previously I sketched out 4 characters, and tonight I tidied up and did lines for 2 of them!

Been incredibly busy at work this week unfortunately, so hopefully I can find time to doodle in the evenings! For now, here's a preview of my derg!

Two doodles of Lillipup in an A6 size sketchbook. Top doodle is drawn from memory and is in a sitting pose. The fluff around his face is more circular instead of tall, and the black marking covers both his back and tail. Also his feet are missing the fluffy cuffs. The one below is drawn from reference and is standing on all 4 legs at a three-quarter angle.

Currently away from home and done a quick doodle of Lillipup, he's just a little doggy!

Trying to get more comfortable with drawing while holding my sketchbook and chatting, had fun with this!

Two doodles of the Pokémon Meltan in a sketchbook. The top one is done from memory, and the bottom is with a reference. The one from memory has an octagonal nut for a head, with screw marks inside of the nut, and the tail is intertwining red and white wire. They are looking down at a pokeball in their hands. The one from reference matches the official appearance, and they are in a leaping joyful pose, with lines beaming from their head. Their eye is in a "smiling" shape.

I doodled Meltan at work today! I quite like their design and it's super simple, so I think it came out well from memory!

I was working on my first group piece over the last few days, I'm finding it tough but fun and can't wait to post it here soon!

A coloured doodle of Alex, a cake and an axolotl from Minecraft in a Birthday card.

My nieces birthday is coming up and she loves Minecraft, so I doodled Alex, a cake and her favourite mob (axolotl) in her birthday card!

Hoping I can get back in to doing more drawing, I've been sick for the last two weeks and it really puts a damper on motivation for me!

A picture of a page in an A6 size sketchbook. I have drawn a front facing, side facing and three quarter angle headshot of my dragon fursona in a cartoon style. I have also drawn a front and side facing headshot of Shauni's rabbit fursona.

Really wanted to make another post to this account tonight, but feeling under the weather. Spent about 20 minutes doodling these headshots of me and @misstawnii.bsky.social

Hair is hard! I wanna get more practice in! Might try and do more of these quicker doodles to build up confidence ❤️

He looks like a weirdo little corgi!! Like a dog with no ears hahaha

A doodle of some Cyndaquils in a ring bound sketchbook. The top two are drawn from memory, the bottom one is drawn with reference. The memory drawn ones are missing the red spot back markings, the mouth is joined with the nose as a muzzle, and the rear paws are rounded instead of having a sharp point (also no haunches). The left memory drawing is in a neutral standing pose on its back legs, looking forward. The right memory drawing is facing right and on all fours in a battle stance with its mouth open, looking upwards. The referenced drawing at the bottom of the page is in a neutral sitting pose on its back legs.

First memory Pokémon doodle of the year, Cyndaquil! Kept feeling like something was very off when I was drawing from memory, just knew that he was very mole-shaped. Decided to try a second pose to see if it helped and it didn't hahaha. Glad to be doing these on my lunch break again at work though!

A doodle of Ambipom in an A6 sketchbook. This one is drawn from memory. His colour theming is mostly correct with peach and purple, but the bottom of the face and the top of the torso are peach, instead of the centre face and lower torso. The antenna hair is changed for a tuft. The hands and feet are peach instead of purple. The fluffy base and ends for the tails are missing, and the tails have white gloves with 5 digit hands at the end of them. The left hand is giving a thumbs up and the right is waving.

A doodle of Ambipom drawn with a reference in an A6 sketchbook. This time the design matches the official description. He is gesturing to the right wing his arms and his legs are in a squatting position. His left tail is pointing downwards and his right tail is pointing up.

Back to trying the random Pokémon from memory doodles! Here's Ambipom! These took me about 30 minutes total. I hate the official look of him, he looks so menacing to me hahaha

Been fun trying to draw small in an A6 sketchbooks, and these Sharpie acrylic markers are fun to use too!

A coloured drawing of mine and Shauni's fursonas in animal crossing chibi style! My dragon fursona is mostly gray, with black extremities, mane and horns. He's wearing a dark blue button shirt with multiple Rotom and lightning bolts on it. Shauni's fursona is a yellow bunny rabbit with blonde hair, and a pale yellow chest and mouth markings. She is wearing purple dungarees with a funky arcade flooring pattern, and a black cat face on the front pocket.

Finished up my animal crossing style doodle from yesterday. I had a lot of fun doing it, and it was nice being on the sofa while drawing! I definitely want to learn how to do colouring better, but ultimately I had fun!

A picture of me drawing in a Google Pixel tablet resting on a tablet cushion. On the tablet I have Clip Studio Paint open and I've used a pencil brush to sketch out mine and Shauni's fursonas as animal crossing style chibis. Behind the tablet in the picture is a TV, where Shauni is playing Expedition 33

Got a tablet cushion for Christmas from @misstawnii.bsky.social so I tried using it yesterday! Spent some time getting used to using just the tablet and sketched some animal crossing chibis! Hoping to keep posting on this account every few days this year 🩶

A drawing of the Pokémon Blacephalon on a small decorative chalkboard. Blacephalon is facing forwards and to the side, mid-stride, with one arm raised up and the other down, almost like the disco man emoji 🕺 The chalkboard is retaining the markers from previous drawings, showing a silhouette of Shauni's bunny fursona, a Christmas tree, and presents in the background.

Did this on New Years Eve, but I've been a little busy and didn't get chance to post! I drew a Blacephalon for New Years, seeing as it's the Firework Pokémon! Was fun to draw something a little humanoid, even if it's a strange design! Also this chalkboard is soaking up the markers I use, oops 😂

A doodle of a Shinx head and a Flareon head inside an A6 size sketchbook, done with Sharpie paint markers

A doodle of Tandemaus done in an A6 sketchbook. The left shirt wearing tandemaus has both their arms up and mouth open, and is facing straight forwards. The right pants wearing tandemaus is facing the left one, with their right arm raised towards the other, and their mouth is also open.

It's been quite a while! Didn't have much motivation to draw this month due to having a lot of social commitments. I got some markers and sketchbooks for Christmas, so I drew Shinx, Flareon and Tandemaus! First two were drawn without sketches!

A digital illustration of Sunblitz painting Pichu on a canvas while Mareep stands next to her, looking at Pichu who is posing on a wooden stool. Sunblitz has chocolate brown fur with a lighter fringing at the edges. She has a long curved tail, round ears, and dark brown hair down to her lower back with a curl at the top. She's wearing a green painters apron with some paint stains on it. Pichu is standing on the stool with a happy winking expression, with their hands up. Mareep is watching from beside Sunblitz. The canvas has a close up portrait of Pichu smiling.

The same as the previous picture, but Sunblitz has her hair curl replaced with a candy cane, Mareep has lit decorative lights wrapped around themselves, and Pichu (both the Pokémon and the painting) are wearing a Christmas hat.

I took part in an art raffle hosted by @beffums.bsky.social and was given Sunblitz to draw! They said they liked arts and crafts, and Pokémon, so drew them painting Pichu 💛 Mareep is here too! 💙

Shinx painted on a flat wooden bauble, wearing a Christmas hat, on a golden background. They are looking to the right in a forward facing pose

Pawmo painted in paint markers on a flat wooden bauble. They are facing forward and showing their hands while smiling, and are on a metallic silver backing

Been a little busy, but tonight I made some wooden baubles with paint markers at a friend's house! Two of my favourites, Shinx and Pawmo!

Two sketches of dwebble in a sketchbook. The top one is drawn from memory dvd and bottom is from reference. The one from memory has four legs instead of two, has pincer crab claws instead of pointy forearms, and is missing the hollow black part of the rock where the body rests. Both are in a neutral pose with their mouths open.

It's dwebble! I got pretty close on this one too but it's a really simple design, hermit crab with a rock. Hoping I can find some more time to draw this month!

Two drawings in a sketchbook, both are of the Pokémon Cottonee. The top one is drawn from memory and the second is drawn with a reference. The one drawn from memory has the cotton covering the whole body except from the eyes, and has wings instead of ears with leaves. Both are in a neutral forward facing pose.

Cottonee! I think the one from memory feels more like something you would see in a mario game

Two drawings of the Pokémon Dunsparce in a sketchbook. The top one is drawn from memory, the bottom one from reference. Both are in a default pose. The top one has the torso markings reversed and has fish fins instead of wings. It is also missing the spikes attached to the chin.

Dunsparce was chosen by the wheel today! I knew he was tsuchinoko shaped so got it kind of close, didn't realise his fins were wings though

bsky.app/profile/ragg...

For reference, here's the first time I drew Shinx on this account! Can definitely see a huge improvement in memory and posing since then!

Two drawings of the Pokémon Shinx in a sketchbook. The top one is drawn from memory and has the incorrect coat markings (the entire upper torso is black), and the bottom one is drawn from memory. The one drawn from memory is in a playful stance with it's knees bent, looking upwards with a grin. The one drawn with trend is laying down, and looking upwards at something with it's mouth open.

Today the wheel chose Shinx! I know I've drawn him very early on, but I thought it would be a good opportunity to see how I've improved. Nearly got the fur pattern right! Maybe next time I'll remember lol

Two drawings on a white paper sketch book, both of Kyurem (the Pokémon), but one is drawn from memory, one with a reference. The one drawn from memory is very rough, dragon shaped with a spiked collar along its neck, a typical pointed tail and jagged wings. It is drawn in pencil and has a message written underneath: "I refuse to ink this. Never played B&W haha" The bottom drawing is an inked sketch of Kyurem using an official reference in its default standing pose.

Okay, this is the first time the random wheel spin has completely defeated me, Kyurem. I've never played B&W, seen lots of fan art of Reshiram and Zekrom, but almost nothing of this one.

Very angular and detailed, did the best I could while at work but hopefully I'll improve at these in the future

A digital illustration of two Furrets standing over an open present box, facing each other. The one on the left is drawn from memory, having a thicker body with less brown/white bands than the official colouring, ending with a brown bushy tail. The one on the right is done from official reference, and is wearing a christmas hat while holding the present box open. The two are smiling at each other.

Been a little while since I've gotten to draw on my tablet, friend requested I draw Furret wearing a Santa hat! I decided to try lineless again, and I'm actually really really happy with how this one came out! This took me about 90 minutes to do, and I love the end result ❤️

Two drawings in a ring bound sketchbook on a desk, with a pen, pencil and eraser next to the book. Both drawings are Ribbombee, but the top one is drawn from memory and the bottom with a reference. The drawing from memory has a each 6 patterned scarf and 4 separate wings in a cross shape. They are in a friendly forward leaning pose with arms stretched out and smiling, while flying. The reference drawing matches the official appearance of Ribbombee. They are flying, with their hands raised up meeting just below their mouth, and smiling.

Drawn during today's cloudflare outage at work, Ribbombee! Shauni actually said they look like they could be a male/female variant, which I think is cool!

A white page of paper in a sketchbook with two drawings on it. The top is a Meditite (Pokémon) drawn from memory. It's lacking the curly ears at the side of the head, and the head has been coloured blue instead of white. It is also missing the wrist cuffs and white feet. The top drawing is in a mediating pose with the hands pushed flat together in front of its torso, and it's right leg raised so the foot is pressed against the left leg. The bottom sketch is another Meditite, but drawn with a reference so the details are correct. The bottom sketch is drawn in a combat ready pose, with both hands facing palms outwards and knees slightly bent.

Back in the office, today the spinning wheel chose Meditite! Yet again I forgot the ears from memory hahahaha! I also made a little too much blue

I feel like I'm getting a little quicker with these recently, each took me under 10 minutes! Also been drawing references from a gif to stop me copying

A Wobbuffet from Pokémon drawn from memory, saluting while facing forward. The major incorrect details are that the eyes are drawn as flat thick lines instead of less than and more than symbol cross eyes, and the head usually has a small fin at the back.

I'm walking around Thought Bubble comic convention today! Sat down at a table and drew Wobbuffet from memory with the pens they had to hand!

Forgot the fin at the back of the head and the eyes are the wrong shape, but happy with this for a 10 minute doodle!

Pidgey from my lunch break today! There's so many "literally just a bird" Pokémon!

Figured out a little more how to draw wings a bit more though!
