Here I am again, haha. Still no YouTube account for me, so I guess we’ll do the same thing that we did last time? If that’s alright with you, then here we go…
(EDT 08:22) Testing… can you see me, Dawning?
(EDT 08:23) Ahaha…
(EDT 08:24) So, um… I’m a bit rusty on my Pokémon, haha. What are you painting now?
(EDT 08:25) I recognize Oshawott, yeah! Axew, not so much. I never remembered them being so green… you can tell that I’ve never played B&W or watched the anime, right?
(EDT 08:27) I guess, ahaha.
(EDT 08:28) Gray is what I remember (little of it) from the anime. But the anime does some weird colors sometimes, so don’t mind me…
(EDT 08:29) Well, whatever color you choose, I look forward to seeing how you’re going to shade them!
(EDT 08:32) I’m actually kind of surprised to hear that you don’t like doing backgrounds. Kind of, anyway. The last time we did this, they came out pretty good!
(EDT 08:33) Sounds like a lot of my writing sessions, haha.
(EDT 08:34) The result is often more exciting to think about than to actually accomplish… but it’s worth it, I think!
(EDT 08:37) I’m surprised at how easy it is to shade by just drawing some lines and using the eraser.
(EDT 08:41) How many layers do you think you use for an average drawing?
(EDT 08:47) Any particular reason for a purple sun?
(EDT 08:52) Well, if they’re friends… or are they?
(EDT 08:55) I wonder, do you make up stories to go along with your drawings?
(EDT 09:03) Heh, so even the rocks get shading. Do you have a different process in your mind for different materials?
(EDT 09:09) Ooh, shadows too!
(EDT 09:11) And the grass has an almost “bokeh”-like quality to it, actually.
(EDT 09:13) Oh, you know how in pictures the background is out of focus and it sometimes comes out like either really soft or like little circles? That’s “bokeh”.
(EDT 09:17) Ah, a person now, I think?
(EDT 09:19) Aha! This’ll be interesting.
(EDT 09:20) I’m one of those people who has yet to play the new games yet, but I know what she looks like, so…
(EDT 09:21) Oh, just today! Congratulations, then!
(EDT 09:22) I’d ask you about teams and such, but, again, I haven’t played the games yet. Trying to stay spoiler-free (yeah right, haha).
(EDT 09:23) I’m guessing that you have a reference picture somewhere? Or is it by memory?
(EDT 09:25) What made you choose orange for the sketch, I wonder?
(EDT 09:38) Which do you think you prefer drawing: humans or Pokémon (or other non-humans)?
(EDT 09:55) Starting to come along now! I guess it’s too early to ask about a background, haha…
(EDT 10:13) I forgot that her hair was (partially) green, haha. Yeah, it’s kinda weird, alright. But we’ve seen weirder indeed, haha…
(EDT 10:16) And orange eyes, too! Geez, which one’s more bizarre? /jk, haha…
(EDT 10:17) I can only imagine your adventures there.
(EDT 10:18) Sparkly anime eyes are best eyes!
(EDT 10:22) I think that you really enjoy using unusual colors for light sources, haha. Not that there’s anything wrong with that!
(EDT 10:36) Either my memory sucks or did she always have black hair like that?
(EDT 10:39) Then my memory sucks then, haha! Don’t mind me…
(EDT 10:40) Technology, right?
(EDT 10:41) Adobe software in general, um, doesn’t have the greatest reputation for being particularly well-written or stable.
(EDT 10:43) Speaking of finicky technology, has Bulbagarden been kind of slow for you too lately, or is it just me?
(EDT 10:46) I wish I didn’t notice, haha. I’m one of those ones who notices everything, though. It can be both a real blessing and a really annoying curse!
(EDT 11:01) Shirt and shorts came out pretty well, I think.
(EDT 11:16) I’d be hopeless trying to manage all of those layers like you’re doing, haha.
(EDT 11:17) 139…!? Do you name them!? How do you even…
(EDT 11:19) Is there some kind of epic Victory Road in the new games or something, like that giant mountain you climb in Alola? That could work, maybe.
(EDT 11:27) It looks more like a literal castle than a school!
(EDT 11:31) A part of me misses Gen I levels of simplicity whenever I look at that… school-castle thing. While another part of me says, bring on the ridiculousness! The best of these are so insane that they cross the line twice, if you know what I mean.
(EDT 11:40) Idea: blurred background?
(EDT 11:42) I figured as such!
(EDT 11:43) The best artists do more with less, after all!
(EDT 11:44) Or more with more, but let’s ignore that, haha…
(EDT 11:50) I would agree there! We’ve been doing this for almost four hours, haha…
So! That was fun, once again! And that last one, well, you say it “could’ve been worse”, but I don’t think it turned out too bad, haha. In any case, good night to you, Dawning, and hopefully we can do this yet again sometime!
(EDT 08:22) Testing… can you see me, Dawning?
