Pikachu pencil, inks and colour trial by comics

in trialbycomics •  7 years ago  (edited)

Hey folks

Heres my entry for the trial by comics colour contest. Thought I would follow up my ink drawing from the draw it better pokemon and trial by comics contest ink challenge.

Grabbed my alcohol markers, I went for a smooth comic look and avoided any harsh shadows. I also toned down the usual Pokémon vibrancy to give this a more natural feel. I had planned to do this for the original contests but family life can be complex at times :-)

Here's the pencil and ink breakdown for completeness.

lol... I'm so out of tune... at first I thought why the heck is he drawing easter bunnies already :P

To be fair he's like a bunny :D a yellow electric bunny who fights other creature's for fun...

Wow xD Lovely bunny

It is so cuteeeee! What markers did you use? (which brand?*) ^-^

Thanks :) They are Spectrum Noir markers so cheap and cheerful. Alongside a few Copics, Windsor and Newton markers too. Oh yeah Pitt pens for the black ink.

I really like it!
Good fusion of styles.

So adorableee :3
And thanks for sharing the markers photo. I'll see if I can get my hands on something similar xD I thought alcohol markers are always expensive.

Thank you for your kind words and resteem @kristyglas
Yeah the quality varies with the cheaper sets but hey a little tester paper before you use a colour and all is well :) it's good practice anyway unless you know the colour by heart.

I haven't tried any alchohol color markers before, so something cheaper to experiment with seems like a good idea :D

I only started using these during one of my recent inktobers, it was a perfect excuse to try them and use them daily. Infact steemit has motivated me Todo that once again :)

A wild cute Pikachu has appeared :D. Really liked how you painted Pikachu. The alcohol markers add to Pikachu cuteness

Thanks :-) but oh no... I dropped the pokeball so Pikachu got away 😮

Oh no haha, you gotta practice your throws
