Torchic -Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire

What is your favorite Pokemon from the Hoenn Region? Why?
I have to say Blaziken, especially now with its mega evolution adding insane power to this Pokemon. He has a very nice design also. I also have to appreciate Mudkip because it's Mudkip, haha.

I was essentially trying to get out of my comfort zone and work on a more realistic piece digitally. I had a good time drawing this and I was surprised how well this work came out considering that I never use the brush, marker, or watercolor tool with digital art. I am a cell shader, haha, but to become a more diverse artist, I need to try different techniques.

Color Start/Finish: 3/5/17 1 hour
Tools: Paint Tool Sai
