#Pokedex # 46 #Paras!

The #tinymushrooms on it's back are a parasite, slowly taking over this #bug #Pokemon. Even though it's mouth is a little creepy, I think it's eyes are #cute.

#Pokedex # 43 #Oddish!

I know I've drawn this #Pokemon at some point in my life since it's an easier design, but now I have a #drawing to add to my dex binder! I have a plushie of this guy that I cherish because it evolves into Bellossom.

The first thing I painted on my large canvas was the little seed that is sprouting.

I'm taking a break today to recover from the weekend. Here is a closeup of a section of my large canvas for now.

#Pokedex # 37 #Vulpix!

I only had time for a simple #ink #drawing today, and I felt rushed. I feel like it's head could be drawn better, but for now I'll call it done.

#Pokedex # 32 #Nidoran male!

I drew this while laying on my belly in a nest my bf made for me. I'm tuckered out from #PokemonGo today. Did anyone else play and get some good mons?

#Pokedex # 29 #Nidoran female!

I found some interesting notes in an old calendar that belonged to my mother from the first year of my life. It's been strange processing the things that I learned. I sat to #sketch and think about my own lore.

This is something I forgot to share with you all!
Years ago when I noticed #depression was becoming too big of an issue to ignore, I set out to complete a large canvas #painting to help me process my life. This piece has been on the back burner for so long...

#Pokedex # 27 #Sandshrew!

I had a rough sleep. After my infusion I feel like I have come down with the flu, full body aches, and my legs become restless. This morning I feel better though, so I plan to get a few pieces done!

#Pokedex # 20 #Raticate!

Sketching helps the time pass. I'm feeling groggy from the treatment but that's normal. It tends to slow down my #drawing.

#Ocrevus round 13!

It's infusion day! I look forward to my treatment every 6 months. It's slowed the disease progress so much and allowed me to fight Multiple Sclerosis.

This past 6 months I have had less fatigue due to finding the right combination of vitamin supplements. Let's go! #mswarrior

Getting this #ghost #Pokemon sketch to look right was a challenge. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out!

I'm going to be picking at my stack of #Pokemon this week. I'm not sure how much I will be able to do since my #MS infusion is on Wednesday, but I will keep #drawing!

When you get a #seagull girlfriend, she takes "girlfriend stealing my fries" to a whole new level.

Practicing #drawing people. It's never been my strong suit... but when I become inspired I must!

It's a few days early, but this #drawing is for a good friend of mine for his #birthday.
Happy early Birthday @lexkwando.bsky.social! Thanks for being such an amazing friend, giving words of encouragement, and being overall supportive!

#Pokedex # 770 #Palossand!

A #ghost #Pokemon that I had slotted for last month, but I finally finished it! It feels good to snap back into my old routine after a bit of a hiatus.

#Pikachu

On my last full day in Alberta, my sister, my niece and I sat down to paint. Even though these #watercolor paints were from the dollarstore they seemed to work well.
Watercolor is a medium I want to work with more in the future.

I got a super tiny cash register from MiniSo! I want to buy a few more of these blind boxes because they're so cute!
I'm back home from my vacation so I will be getting back into my artwork tomorrow!

The only #drawing I did today was to teach my niece how to draw a face. The pink face above the sun and tree was her effort. Ofc I drew a #pikachu because the window writer crayons were fun to play with.

My sister is an amazing artist! I love her art style so much and I'm proud of how far she has come. Did you know I taught her how to draw when we were kids?

This is one of the many things she's drawn.

She was playful this morning!

The best way to describe my sister's home: whimsical.
Everything is fun, pokemon themed, or cute. I get to drink #coffee from this amazing #koffing mug!

Occasionally I revisit my old OC character designs and try to reimagine what they look like. Spike represents the negative emotions that added chaos in my life when I couldn't control them. This may not be the final concept I go with.
