Hi everyone! This is my first time to participate in Draw it better contest by @sirsensei :)

Thank you for holding such an amazing contest like this sir!

Im an avid fan of pokemon when i was still a child, I've played pokemondeluge, pokemon in gameboy, and many more games about pokemon, and even the newest pokemongo. I used to draw them in cards which really made me even love them more because of their fascinating features.

And now i am given a chance to pick and catch a pokemon.

So I chose Cubone!

Here's my entry!

I picked cubone because of his toughness despite of him, being lonely.

Cubone is a ground-type pokemon which abilities are: rock head or lightning, rod, battle armor, hidden ability and has weaknesses of: grass, water, ice.

He longed for his mother, which will never be seen again. He even cry if he see a fullmoon for it really reminds him of her. The stains on the skull he wears were made by his tears.

He will evolve into marowak that has already overcome its sadness and grown tough from the loss of his mother. He became tempered.

Here's a step-by-step process of my cubone

Materials used:
coloured pencils, pencil, eraser and a cutter(sharpener alternative)

1. Light sketching

I first sketched the figure of cubone. The stroke of the pencil was only light to be just easy for possible changes.

Then...

2. Applying of colors using coloured pencils

I then applied colors to its body first.
The main colors used were: yellow for the base, orange for the second layer and red for the third base

4. Making the bone mask

After finishing the body, I then started to draw the mask.
The main colors used: black, peach, brown.

I then added the base color, peach and brown for it to look like an ivory color which is the color of bones.
