This months character design challenge is pokemon. Decided to do a battle hardened veteran.
Pikachu warrior character design challenge
Digital
Bounce
Here is my entry for the SCBWI draw this competition. There is some great work out there already for this new challenge.
I pen and ink with some Illustrator and Photoshop to make the final product. Below are some stops along the path.
Thanks to fellow SCBWI members Annina and Stephen for some suggestions. 
Rabbit with Red Wings
Drawing from the story of the Rabbit with the Red Wings.
Wings
Quick illustration for Illustration Friday Challenge “wings”.
Created in Corel Painter using the basic pencil tool and a little of the pen and ink tool. I usually do my sketching in some other color than black. It is a habit I still use when I am doing traditional sketches and do some of my under-drawing with col-erase pencils.
Hope you like.
Digital Cricket
Created the sketching in sketchbook pro. Took the sketch into Corel Painter. Added color.
Just an idea for a character in a children’s book.
Snow-Illustration Friday quick sketch
Quick illustration for Illustration Friday.
Used Corel Painter and the airbrush splatter tool. I used typical brushes and chalk and a few psd layers to put it together in a short time.
Ahab and the Great White Whale Corel Painter
Had this illustration for a while and never posted. Originally intended to be a poster for classic literature.
Nothing says classic literature like Moby Dick, and nothing paints a more dire picture than Ahab going on his last mission.
I’ve played with this on and off for some time. I enjoyed the dynamics and played with a very loose brush set in painter 12, something that I generally do not do.
I tried to highlight an image of a skull in his face, to forecast his eventual fate, pinned forever to the side of the white whale.
Dragonfly inked in Corel Painter
Just a quick sketch of a dragonfly that I scanned and then inked in Corel Painter. I used the scratchboard tool under the pen category.
I like how it gives me thin and thick lines, much like a brush or fountain pen.
Fear My Thagomizer
One of my favorite dinosaurs with the coolest weapon. The stegosaurus, one of most unique dinosaurs that ever lived.
Sketched in Autodesk Sketchbook Pro and then rendered in Corel Painter 12 using the pen and ink tool and Cintiq 21ux.
