For this piece I imported an image of the Pansage’s battle sprite from Pokémon Black and/or White, and then traced over it, gave it a colouring job, and painted on a background. This piece, like the last two iPad-based drawings, its primary purpose was to experiment with the software and refresh my artistic capabilities (I’ve been out of commission for a while). I really do like how the piece turned out, and I think the character itself is adorable – definitely my favourite of the three elemental monkey Pokémon. :P

Created during the same sitting as the “Bubble Elephant” piece, I decided to take an old photograph of my partner DJ and re-draw it, updating the clothing, hair, and applying my style. I don’t think the likeness is there, unfortunately, but I’m really impressed with the quality of the artwork’s lineart and colours given how easy it was to throw together.
