[Art]Electabuzz shaded.
Hello.

I somewhat recently got a tablet, and I'm still training. I try all sorts of stuff, but here is my first real attempt at a cartoony style drawing, but I shaded it normally instead of "vector" or "simple" shading, which is what this type of drawing would normally have.

CC is appreciated, I already know there's some things wrong with it, but this is just an attempt so I don't sweat it too much.

Also this is not traced, I drew it myself occasionally looking at a reference picture on the pokemon wiki. Why did I choose Pokemon? I don't know, it was the first thing I thought I could practice that's cartoony, and I loved it when I was a kid.
Done with: Wacom Bamboo tablet; Adobe Photoshop CS5


Future plans: More realistic drawings/paintings.

Already gave you constructive criticism when it was unfinished.

The colours and shading themselves are really well done. When making cartoon characters like Pokémon, you often use a different way of shading things, instead you went for a more "realistic" way, which actually works out well, I think.

Outline is also really good, especially the face, arms and hands. The toenails look a little wobbly, but I'm not sure if that's intentional. The shape of his body is good, as I told you before.

Really well done!
