Well I wasn't going to post this because of how ridiculously horrible it looked...



But...just wanted to share my love for Pokemon Trainer in brawl.

The eye is bothering me. Seriously. I love everything else though, especially what you did with the colors.
Keep drawing!

The eye? Thanks for the comment guys- I thought the head and neck seemed kinda weird too...but I dunno >_> Yeah the arms crossed was a bad idea...too much negative space for the background and makes him too stiff-

I think the crossed arms look awkward b/c the length of the arm on the left isn't in proportion with the one on the right. In general, I like the art style, and I think the really bright eye is kinda cool. It draws attention because the rest of the picture is out of focus (on purpose, obviously, for a distinct art style) and makes Charizard look more intense.

Wow, if I could draw like that, I'd draw all the time. I think it's great, although the teeth kind of bother me. I don't think Charizard's teeth are that...straigh. It's more like two long fangs and the rest is just hidden under his skin flaps.

Haha nice :] I loove Charizard : D The colouring overall is quite nice, it's kinda fiery, only real issue is his head is too big for the body or the forearms could be a bit bigger, just a tad out of proportion there :]

Mean pose though, nice stuff :]

Not bad. It looks like you aren't using a general color for lights or shadows. Try using a color for lighting and a color for shadows. Keeping compliments in mind, orangish and/or yellow light with blues for shadows is usually a good choice. Only use lighting and shadow colors subtly though, otherwise it would look kinda weird. Another thing, NEVER use pure black for shadows. It looks like you did for the wings. If you must have a super dark color for shadows, go with a deep blue or just a darker version of the color your adding shadow to.

Do you have a tablet? It looks like it's colored with your mouse or with pressure sensitivity turned off. If you got a tablet it would help with your brush strokes a ton, pretty much instantly making this 2x better (and it's already pretty good). You can find a Wacom Graphire 3 off ebay for like 30-40 bucks.


Oh, I very much like the attitude that Charizard is expressing. I like it! :) I would make the neck just a tad thinner as it gets closer to his head.

If your'e going to get a tablet, get a Wacom. Whether it be the graphire line, which is cheaper, or intuous, which is top of the line, wacom will be the best bang for your buck. :]
