How to draw Pokémon
by Matthew Lin
Description
A step-by-step drawing workshop on how-to-draw Pokémon.
I will start on showing how to draw Diglett. We’ll then look at circle based Pokémon (eg Voltorb, Gastly, Koffing).
We’ll then build on each shape looking at drawing more complex Pokémon, with the aim of drawing a Legendary type (age dependent).
