Pokemon: Colored Pencil Leafeon

After I was done with this, it made me think of: [link] ( not safe for work! )

My crafting has inspired me to return to my roots; traditional artwork. I used to be a beast with colored pencils .. I've fallen out of practice. I want to get back in to it, and improve.

This is probably the first thing I've completed in YEARS and honestly, it was a pretty quick piece just to get a feel for my pencils back. I really don't like Leafeon that much .. I just like its design and colors. When I draw I have a habit of pressing down really hard with my pencil, so when I erase it leaves deep lines which make it difficult to color properly. So a few areas are more blotchy then I'd like. I need to practice more.

This was originally drawn as a design for a tote bag, which means this guy will probably show up in acrylic paint at some point in the future. The paper is messy and smudged but .. oh well!

Leafeon is inked with some generic flowing ink pen and colored with Prismacolor Colored Pencils.
