Description
I remember doodling this one, for a few years ago. I randomly found it again hided inside a book, and the first thing that came to my mind was this Draw this again! Meme. It was really fun do this one, I feel like I finally was able to draw what I was trying to create so many years ago.I must say I love how I failed drawing Pikachu's tail haha! I remember I just drew what came to my mind, and didnt look after any pictures for reference. The mushrooms also seem very random, I think they're inspired by the ones in Super Mario. And the egg-ish creature is I believe a Pokémon, which I dont remember how look like or either its name. All I know is that I kind of recreated everything haha.
The character it self is a OC.
I spend about 40 minutes on sketching + lineart I believe, + 2 hours colouring. Both drawings are made traditionally. The markers that've been used are Copic Sketch Markers, not gonna list up every single name of each colour XD too much work for lazy me, dont think anyone is interested either. YAY!

Second time writing a critique, please bear with me ^___^;;;
We'll start with the originality and idea.
I like the idea of the body being possesed with Nintendo, cause it is addicting! It could also mean that it kinda manipulates your laziness. All though, something is missing..
About technique, I like the hair, but it needs darker shade around the top. Maybe you should also try and construct where the light is going etc. Try drawing a little sun (Just with pencil, you're gonna erase it later) of where you want the light source to come from, and draw from that.
Aside from that, it bugs me how plain it is, you could've maybe zoomed in, bigger is better - in this case. Don't be afraid to draw bigger, it will only leave room for more detail and have more to look at.
Or, you could've added background. This is'nt neccesary always, but in this case I would say it is.
And the mood of the drawing is abit confusing. The faces of the pokémons are showing that the piece is suppose to be happy, and joyful, however the expression of the person looks rather insulted or way too strong. Soften the expression abit with a happy smile, thicker eyebrows or the eyes could've been soothed abit more down.
All in all, you definetly HAVE improved a WHOLE LOT, and you should be proud of that, because you are a great artist, but you still have alot more practice to do, but never give up, because eventually you're gonna be better than everybody! ^w^
Maybe in 2013 we will see a crazy improved Abuchi~ e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/w… " width="15" height="15" alt="

Nice improvment! ^o^
I love how you created more three-dimensional aspect of it. Like the items on the sides of the subject. Also your shading and coloring is nice. ^^
The hair although would need work on. In the process of lineart, be sure you line the sketch neatly, and accurate among the sketch lines. The ahoge is incredibly cute though. I would suggest working on coloring your hair. Find the dark areas and soft areas. If you used marker for this, then put more pressure near the darker areas. (Forsay, away from the prominent materials of the hair or product you are coloring)
Also shading near the shoulders to get that 3D feeling to it, would be nice. The pokemons are adorable. And probably work on your choice of colors, I dont think the skin base was either to dark or to light. Because the shadows of the skin are about in the same color range as the base of the original skin tone. Try various layers of shadows, meaning more colors for shading. Also I dont see arms, did you mean it like that, or did you just forget?
All in all, great effort! I see you improved alot! ^^ Keep drawing, and have faith in yourself! a.deviantart.net/avatars/s/m/s… " alt=" " title="smilieplz"/>

Wow thank you for this greaaat critique! ^_^ I must say that I especially failed a bit on the shading of the gameboy, but I hadnt any darker colours >_< and I was soo afraid failing when shading the hair so I didnt dare using darker colours, also thought I kind of didnt need it - but thank you for saying that! I will totally use darker as well in the future! As that being said, I suck at drawing hair, I really need more practise.
One more excuse.. I didnt have any darker colours for shading on the lightblue base >_<
And yes I didnt mean to have arms, so I just drew it that way now as well to make it look as much as the original as possible, kind of wouldnt make anything out of character. Haha weird I know :3
But thanks!

Aw, your welcome! ^^
I would also suggest looking for inspiration and pay extreme attention to the littlest details. And draw everyday if possible! Practice gives you confidence in drawing!

I think the egg-ish creature is supposed to be some sort of strange Togepi (or however you say that XD).
