Daily Pokemon art practice #718: Zygarde
I was hoping to leave enough space on the paper to draw the 10% form as well, but... well... let's be honest, I was never gonna be able to do that, lol

Daily Pokemon art practice #717: Yveltal
If I'm being honest, I always felt like Yveltal's design was a bit busy and tried too awkwardly to fit the Y shape in there. Xerneas is definitely the better Gen 6 cover legend imo, but I have to admit, this was a VERY fun and satisfying draw.

Daily Pokemon art practice #716: Xerneas
I've been waiting for a good Pokemon to try the "color a small part in color" concept again (the last one was Smeargle), and Xerneas with its Christmas-light antlers was the perfect candidate. I might do this again some time if the right Pokemon pops up.

Yep, that's me drawing slightly off the paper again because I'm too stubborn to draw in landscape orientation when needed! :D

Daily Pokemon art practice #713: Avalugg
It always throws me off in-game when Avalugg doesn't look nearly as big as I always imagine it should.
I also feel like I drew the perspective/angle really weird on this one, it looks just a liiiiittle off.

Daily Pokemon art practice #712: Bergmite
This one KIND OF felt a little wrong, lol. Bergmite's official art has light reflecting on the front of its face that washes a lot of the color out of its eyes, so to imitate that I had to erase part of them after I had finished without erasing *too much*.

Daily Pokemon art practice #711: Gourgeist
Two thoughts on this one:
1 - Gourgeist has a LOT of Adventure Time energy
2 - It's weird that we got *two* Grass/Ghost-types that evolve via trade in the same generation of games, right?

Daily Pokemon art practice #709: Trevenant
Nature-themed spookiness INTENSIFIES
One of my favorite Grass-types *and* one of my favorite Ghost-types. Just an overall cool design, no notes other than I wish it wasn't a trade evolution so it could be easier to add to my teams.

Daily Pokemon art practice #707: Klefki
It threw me off SO MUCH when I looked at Klefki's official art and saw that the keyring is not, in fact, a perfect circle. All that practice drawing circles and I have to draw one that's a little squished XD

Daily Pokemon art practice #706: Goodra
Here's a simple test to determine if somebody is a liar. Ask them, "Is Goodra a cool and/or cute Pokemon?" If they answer with anything but "Both!", they're a liar.

Daily Pokemon art practice #705: Sliggoo
Kind of an awkward mid-stage Pokemon, and another one that looks really haunting when drawn in black-and-white. Less snail dragon, more spooky ghost.

Daily Pokemon art practice #703: Carbink
I always felt like Carbink needed *something*. An evolution, an alternate form in battle, anything to make it as useful as it is cute. Mega Evolution was kind of a wasted concept in this regard, Carbink should have had a surprisingly powerful Mega imo

I didn't get the squished potato shape quite right, but now it just looks like Dedenne is stretching up to look at something, which is kind of adorable. So I accept my mistake.
