Description
It only just dawned on me that the ONLY piece of work I have done that was specifically related to Pokemon X and Y was that attempt at drawing Xernias when the first trailer came out.... Okay, and then Ash when the trailer for the X/Y anime came out, but nothing to celebrate the game's release or anything like that.I suppose... part of the reason I've never tried drawing Serena before is that....Okay, I'm just gonna say it: I HATE the way she was shoehorned into the anime. Period. A childhood friend of Ash? No.... just.... no.
But onto the drawing itself.... I wanted to make her more indicative of the game counterpart (there isn't enough information about Y in the manga yet) but... ugh... my style still came out looking like the anime
Not only that... but I think I went a little overboard on the hair and it was another painful reminder of why I hate drawing both hats and sunglasses....the nag and the shoes were a pain, too.. and the positioning on the feet.... ugh... I tried. Maybe I'll try again later once the ViZ English adaptation of the manga comes around.Pokemon and all of its creatures/characters, including Serena/Y/"Yvonne" is (c) Satoshi Tajiri, Nintendo, Game Freak, ViZ and all other respective owners may have missed/not be aware of. I do not own the characters in any way, shape or form, I am just a fan!

I agree with ya on that whole heartedly... It's a noticeableΒ habitΒ in the anime where they insert shit into it that circles around theselfinsert Ash's character and pray that it works. Nine times out of ten fans will eat it up. :U

Oh, thank goodness! I thought I was going to be yelled at for a moment, there.
I think the part about it that makes me mad is that, by this point, Ash's character is about as firmly established as you can get and yet now you expect us to believe that he had this friend as a child we never knew about until just now? You're crimping years of history here, but it's okay because this was before he was a Pokemon trainer.

Ugh, tell me about it. .-.

This is adorable and pretty, but her legs are too skinny. Her extended arm should look a little longer and try practice more shading. Keep up the good work!

In my defense: The arm didn't look so short before I added the hair... 
Shading, on the other hand: None of my teachers, through all of Jr. High and High School, have taught me how a light source works. Heck, I've taken a couple college-level classes and even THEY didn't cover it very much and online tutorials don't seem to help me grasp the concept very much. I need someone to tell me "if you light source is 'here' your shadows will typically fall 'here, here, here and sometimes here, with the following exceptions'"

I'm glad you think so, though I know it could be better

Don't worry, you will improve over time.
