Whats This? A Finished Pencil Drawing? Its True! I Started A New Part-time Evening Job At The University

What’s this? A finished pencil drawing? It’s true! I started a new part-time evening job at the university library, which is extremely quiet when I’m there, and I’m actually allowed to draw to pass the time. It’s amazing! I’m used to retail jobs where doing anything non-work-related is strictly verboten no matter how quiet the shop is. So anyway, here’s Fret looking slightly distressed in his birch grove, the product of sitting at the library counter with nothing better to do. I’d like to do a painting of him and Larkspur soon to show their proper colours. I’m fairly often guilty of designing characters with important colour schemes and then drawing them in black and white all the time.

Ladies first, here’s the female Nidoran line! I remember being pleased the girls were the bluish side as a child, because I hated pink. I did wish the female Nidoran had bigger, cuter ears though so I tried to paint them showing to best advantage. I like the funny little hooves these lines seem to have. These little poison buns are available to buy in my online shop!

Another couple of bug types! I recall Venonat being one of the ones I preferred not to evolve, because Venomoth was insufficiently fluffy in comparison. It’s grown on me over the years though, I like them both now. These will go up in my shop when they’re painted, so keep an eye out!

It’s some angry monkeys for your enjoyment! I thought Mankey and Primape would be difficult to place in a realistic environment, but they were actually very easy. These pokémon will be available in my shop when they’re painted!

Paras and Parasect are two of my favourites from gen 1, it broke my heart that they're so weak. I still catch one anyway, look how cool and creepy they are!

Ahh, Spearow and Fearow, the scruffier and more aggressive end of the gen 1 bird types. Fearow was harder than I expected, but a lot of fun once I found the right reference for the wings (I went with a vulture).

The originals are available in my shop!
