I made this Charizard pfp cause my old ones were really meh. It’s not great but it was my best attempt at making a custom pfp that I drew but colored. I’m shit at drawing with colors but I’m gonna ease into it cause I feel like editing my pencil drawings on computer is kinda cheating. Yeah I have to layer it and use different drawing tools for lighting but it doesn’t feel as satisfying as doing it myself.

So I made this drawing by taking an in-game screenshot and just sketching it onto paper. I also added the flames on the sides of the face since it’s both a reference to mega zard x and it’s also just a a badass visual. Then after shading and such, I put it into pixlr to add colors and other shots. I’d sign entirely cheat cause I had to do a lot of layering and use different erasing tools to add the different colors and lighting for the flames around his mouth. I finally made his eyes this white with red outlines cause it makes it look like a “battle ready” face. I got the idea from Baki

I tried to make a realistic Feraligtr while making it not be a furry. I REALLY wanted to make this thing look more cool than furry-like
