Poketober Day 11: Ice Type

Had the traveler seen the moth earlier... His death would have been announced...

I've had these losers for over 10 years now! ...not Tobi and Alda, though. The kids are pretty new lol. Either way, all of them were due for new references!

(Yes, some of their natures are cruddy, but aside from their abilities, I wanted to keep their original stats from when I caught them! xD)

I loved your Zip and Cappy headcannons! Could you do some more for Cappy? (he s my favorite side character 👀) and i m curious about what you can come up with for Bluenose or maybe Izzy.

I'm sorry this is so late i've spent like a good week and a half on this-

I'm too lazy to develop blueballs rn so here's cappy and izzy!

I was very excited to write for these two but got a little shakey with izzy as I don't wanna reveal too much on him yet.

CAPPY MY BELOVED

Came from a well off family and is an extremely smart man that went to a prestigious school for a few years, but was very humble from a young age.

From a very young age his fathers health was never steady. One day he would be running around and fixing engines in trucks, cars, boats and jets and the next he'd be in the hospital.

He was technically an only child and that gave him the ability to focus on his studies from a young age which have him a leg up when it came to the coast guard.

Shortly before he went into the USCG his mom started seeing someone and a few months after he was sworn in she gave birth to a little girl named Lola Claire who was nicknamed Lil C bc she looks up to Cappy so much.

She failed to tell him that she was pregnant so this started a fall out between the two.

Atleast once a month, Cappy's now step-father brings Lola to the Coast Guard Base to have coffee and chat with him.

Cappy is an incredible big brother and if he has to go out to sea/another place he always brings lola a gift.

Has been in the Coast Guard for 11 years. Joined when he was 18 and is now 29.

Full name is Charles Clarance Ernald

Born January 1st 1910 making him a Capricorn.

Ran track and field in high school and broke his ankle atleast 3 times each season.

When Johnny Cuba made him run the rocks he shattered his knee cap and cracked the other, that is how he got his nickname cappy

Has snapped at and put Bluenose in his place multiple times.

Is close friends with Lillie and when port is especially slow he will go out and keep her company.

Baby sat baby/Toddler TenCents for a while so he can and will hold that over the young mans head.

Izzy

Is married to a Filipino Portuguese woman who was raised in the Americas.

Served in the army from the time he was 18 to around 23 (1903 to around 1908)

They got married at 18 and had their two kids shortly after.

Has two sons (named Ernist and Joaquin) and and who he loves dearly and his sons. Ernist has two sons and one girl and Joaquin has a fiance.

He raised his two sons around him and his wife's culture and takes pride in his heritage and family's history

Him and his wife are currently thinking about adopting a little girl

Izzy's full name is Inez Jeorge Gomez and his wife's name is Mayala Arora Abaya Gomez (Nicknamed May).

Izzy is a very family oriented man and will do anything to make someone feel welcomed in his house.

He does spend quite a bit of time with the stars and will bring them meals him and his wife have prepped or just have them over for dinners in the summer months.

i hate myself hahahahahahahaha

Such a little guy <3

Hi! I really liked your last tips with shading and I know it's not really your thing with giving tips. But do you think you have any tips for anatomy or posing? I just really like how you can draw different characters in different sizes and shapes .I absolutely love them.💙

It took me over a year to think about how to answer to this question, so sorry for the super late reply! 😅

Leaving the obvious “study anatomy” aside, a very useful tip is to base your characters on simple shapes (and don’t add too many details! You can do that later!)

This not only applies to body shape but can also be applied to faces! it’s a great way to draw different types of people!

But let’s move on to the pose. The secret is all in the line of action! It usually follows the spine and helps to make the pose more dynamic and less static. It’s more easy to see in creatures without legs or with a tail!

(For those who view the post through the tumblr app: the post continues, but for some mysterious reasons it can only be viewed on the PC or via your mobile browser. Sorry for the inconvenience. 🙄)

Another important element is the rhythm. Unfortunately it’s a concept that I can’t explain very well, so I’ll try to draw it. XD

See how in the left arm the lines alternate between straight and curved? This is an important element to give rhythm to the figure and support the line of action (which can also be seen in this arm)! Instead look at how stiff the arm on the right is with all these straight lines!

The line of action gives you a general direction, while the rhythm helps canalize it through the use of lines!

But let’s take an example. I will use this drawing I made in 2008. Look how horribly ugly stiff it is!

Let’s try to redraw it using the line of action and giving it some rhythm!

Much better! ✨

If you want to study in deep the topic of line of action and rhythm I recommend to look at Glen Kane’s art! 

Finally the best advice of all: save a lot of drawings by the artists you love the most and trace them. Let me be clear: DON’T POST THEM ANYWHERE. This is just an exercise! Trace them, but think well about each line you trace. Why was this arm put like this? Why is this pose so effective? Trace and analyze the line of action and the rhythm! 

Eventually you will notice how much your art will improve! ^^

I hope this will be helpful! ^^
