Serperior Trading Card - From sketch to finished illustration

in art •  8 years ago 

Serperior is the final evolution of my all time favorite pokémon starter, but this was my first time drawing him. 



Finished linework

Serperior was easy to sketch. It's a snake like lizard thing with ears, or something like that... I forgot to draw it's teeth though, but oh well.. 

I used a warm gray mulitliner, but I think it would have looked better in the end if I had used a green or sepia multiliner.

Trading cards are small, people always seem to believe they are bigger.. But no, they are tiny.

  • Size: 2.5" x 3.5" / 6.4 x 8.9 cm


The coloring process

Serperior is various shades of green and yellow, so I chose a background that went from darkish red to orange.

I started coloring the lightest parts to avoid the darker colors bleeding into where the lighter colors should be.

This is what it looked like before I added details:


The finished illustration

White gel pen really makes the illustration pop. I also darkened the eye a bit, using a regular mechanical pencil.
