Good day/evening/morning!
Story is written and drawing is in progress!
On each drawing, I try to push myself by trying one new thing, big or small. This time it's big and a lot of amateur artists struggle with it: wet clothes.
There is a reason art school started me on nudes. Clothes are hard, especially when depicting some kind of alteration like time-worn fabrics or...

๐ฃ๐ต๐ผ๐ฒ๐ฏ๐ฒ, being the feisty Ralts she is, led Randi through the busy intersections of the Dimond District. On the other side of the largest crossing, Phoebe pointed out a pair of wild Ralts chattering under a bronze statue of a Stantler.
After crossing, Phoebe approached the two Ralts.
ใRalts!ใPhoebe cried, holding out her arms.

I really love the SG community. It really feels like a place where it's ok to be different. So, I'm going to reveal something important about me, perhaps in hopes that someone else facing the same situation will find out they are not alone.
Fair warning: it's going to get a little mushy or emotional.
I have battled with depression all my life. It's difficult...

Since I posted this in a group, it deserves a post here too.
Not a new drawing, but new here! It's a shiny Ralts that appears later in the story with Paige, the newest character.
This picture took place in early June 2019 in the story. No story details yet, as I will bring it in as I catch the timeline up with this blog.

Taking a holiday from her Training, Phoebe beats the unprecedented heatwave striking the Denali region. Citizens are suspecting that a Legendary Pokรฉmon might be interfering with the weather. Sabrina will resume the training once the weather passes.

Good late night! --Or likely morning or day where most are!
My drawing progress is crawling as I am facing my hometown's unprecedented heat wave. I stated earlier that it was hot-- well, it got worse. The official temperature at the Anchorage airport read 90ยฐF (32ยฐC) on July 4, shattering our old all-time record of 85ยฐF (29ยฐC) that has held for 50 years.

Greetings to all! If you're in America or Canada, I hope you're enjoying the holiday week!
The hot weather is continuing to pummel Alaska, with record high temperatures being set across our Arctic state. While the sunshine can be nice, it hasn't been good news for our forests, and our air quality. Wildfires have been burning across the region, one such fire has dumped smoke...

Hope all are enjoying the weekend! It's been the hottest day of the year so far in Anchorage; for us, that's around 27ยฐC (80-ish ยฐF.) Probably not hot for many others around the world, but you have direct, low angle in-the-face sun as late as 11 PM in a city where very few buildings (and none of the houses and apartments) have air conditioning!

Randi Part 3: The Scandal
The MC screamed over the loudspeakers:
ใ...featuring: The Star-Crossed Couple that Caught Mew!ใ
The stadium erupted with cacophonous cheering. Randi and Sabrina had established themselves as celebrity Trainers in Denali. Their management struggled to keep up with the duo's soaring popularity.
When ratings rose, sponsorships changed hands. Established League Trainers, fielded by family ties to the fortunes of industrial titans,
