Galar Gym leaders - Finished
🕑 Added 2020-01-12 20:09:52 +0000 UTCHi guys! Yesterday I finally could finish these color sketches of some of the Galar gym leaders from Pokemon Sword/Shield. I made some enhancements from last time and also edited some colors for the sake of contrast (like Nessa not having watery/blue background despite being a water-type gym leader).
As a side note, must say (and it's something I keep confirming myself) that in my experience, when you draw fanart of any character is best if you treat the character you're drawing as an actually oc of yours. I make mention of this because while drawing Nessa I struggled A LOT trying to get her iconic eye style as similar as possible as the original style and that made my drawing process to feel very "forced". Instead, I tried to just let it flow as much as possible and think of her as if she was a character of mine. That made it easier to get Nessa a more natural looking while keeping her signature features.
Overall, I gave this "oc" treatment to everyone, but I struggled on Nessa particularly because I usually draw male characters only. Drawing Nessa in a way that made me feel proud of was challenging.
I will be posting these on my social media during the week but here you have all four in advance ;)
What was your favorite? I hope you like them.
HD+Artsteps+PSD+Timelapse Video of these artworks will be part of January's rewards.
Also! Tomorrow I will make the poll to choose this month's special artwork so I encourage you to check my previous post and suggest me a character if you haven't:

¡Todos se ven absolutamente geniales en tu estilo! Mis favoritos son... todos, pero más Piers y Raihan. XD Es un muy buen consejo lo de tratar fanarts como si se tratase de un OC, especialmente cuando estás teniendo problemas. No lo había visto de esa manera pero tiene mucho sentido... ¡Gracias por eso y sigue con el excelente trabajo!
