I love art, and Pokémon is what got me to start drawing. Does anyone else here like to draw? (if you do, could you please post your art here? I would post some of mine but I don't know where I could post the image first)

Also what part do you struggle with the most when you draw? I hate drawing arms and legs. I'm pretty good at drawing hands but I just can't draw arms or legs for some reason, especially without reference.

    I honestly wish I could draw but my art doesn’t even look good when I draw with the picture of the Pokémon right next to me

    No one picks up a pencil and draws stunning art on the first try, it takes years of continuous effort, studying every piece of art you see, and constantly trying to get better to reach the point of making art that looks professional. The most important thing is to have fun though, you can't improve at all if you're drawing against your own will.

    Nice try! But we know the truth. We know you sequester doodles from the art mines.

    I've been drawing pokemon from time to time. They come out true to the original. So that's something.

    Yes, I like to draw, and I draw very well. In fact I was self-taught since childhood.

    My biggest issue, though, is with hands and feet. Also, I trace over my own physical drawings when doing digital drawings because I have a bit of a problem with keeping everything in proportion.

    I could show you some of my drawings if I knew if it was possible to upload them…

    I love drawing, and I can illustrate Pokémon relatively well. @FallenFurfrou I have also been self taught since I was little. When it comes to Trainers my biggest challenge is posing arms and legs. Faces are easier.

    I drew a few Fakemon a while back. They were fairly interesting although I now understand why they'd never make sense if they were real Pokemon.
