In my own work, one of the areas of particular interest was experimenting with watercolours. As I work mainly in black-and-white, I needed to introduce colours that were quick to apply and enjoyable to use. Below I have produced a sequence of studies, with reference to the Pokemon series, which shows one of the evolutionary lines present in the titular creatures.
I was inspired by the original Pokemon drawings by Ken Sugimori (1), so I decided to emulate his style, while recreating the modern versions of these three creatures. The blend creates a nice balance between paying homage to the original coloured designs, and recreating the modern versions. Below is the aforementioned evolutionary line, with and without the defining ink lines.
