This comment is ironic given what I just drew today.

Haha thanks. Mimikyus are just easy to draw so I've been trying to draw them in a favorite of positions. To date I'm pretty sure it's the only pokemon I've ever drawn facing forwards.

On a side note, how do you like the fraying on Lugia? I tried to have some stray threads and such, but I'm on the fence about how it looks. What do you think?

AND HERE'S THE PICTURE FOR THE FINAL FOR THE UMBREON EXAM.

Gotta honestly say, and don't take offense to it. I though, "is that a hair net?" XD but it's 10x better than anything that I could do. I mean at first glance I did t even know what t was, so that's also a reason too. I thought it was meant to be like that at first. For creativeness. Hey we all gotta start out somewhere and find what works. You're doing a way better job than I could and that's great! You've improved a lot! The stray threads give it that uniqueness to it, so that's a good thing. The looks on it look really well done. It can sometimes be tough to make something look worn out. So I can understand why you are on the fence about it. Don't worry! It looks great! :D

I'm definitely seeing improvement. Especially in those various Mimikyus!

I would say target body proportions. These are hard, and yes, trust me, they've been my nemesis for a while. I still struggle with them sometimes. The big thing that helped me was to look at reference pictures while sketching. Such as when you draw Umbreon, look at an official Umbreon picture that has a pose at least close to what you're aiming for. I also do two sketches before doing final linework. The first is very rough and is mainly to get body proportions right with basic shapes. The second is a refined sketch to really get an idea of how you want the final details to look like. It may seem like overkill, but it helps immensely. And yes, despite the number of times I've drawn Pikachu and Emolga, I still refer to reference pictures of those two. That will usually nip proportion issues.

Give it a try and let us know how it works out. :3 But overall, if you keep working hard at this stuff, you'll be rocking out great pictures all the time.

Hooray!

Thanks for the advice. No joke, Umbreon's proportions will be the death of me. This is one pokemon I've been drawing for YEARS and still can't get the proportions right. Quilava is another. I've only just recently started to improve on facial structure for Umbreon. I have been using reference photos but it's just really hard. Though I've never thought about sketching more than once, mostly because my stuff never comes out the same so I'm worried it'll look worse.

Welcome to Mimikyu Mondays! This week is Sylveon! It won the poll so here we go. This was fun to do, even though I'm not entirely sure where this little guy got all the ribbons and bows. Maybe they were a gift, or he lives near a fashion salon. Either way, I really liked this, and I hope you guys do too!

Aw Sylveon! I think it's be cool if the ribbon parts were actual ribbons! I love the stitching effect and those broken button eyes. Is poor Mimikyu running out of buttons? XD Nice work!

My fave of the recent ones is Guzzlord! It looks so mad but cute! xD

Aww thanks! Mimikyu is trying to do its best in varying all of its outfits!

I tried my best on that one, it was hard but I think it turned out pretty well.

Welcome to Mimikyu Mondays! This week... the Unova starters! They won the poll so here we go! Not sure why I always draw the grass starters as smaller. Either way, here we go! Hope you guys like them! I enjoyed drawing them!

[Neo Emolga]

See... the more you draw, the better you get!

These are coming along quite nicely and I like how you're going the extra mile to give them that extra detail. Like the cross-stitches on the Snivy Mimikyu and the buttons used for noses and eyes. It's a nice touch. :3
