Practice: Baby Bison (Bouffalant)

is going to be having a contest soon. It involves something with drawing adorable Pokemon. Now as much as I love Pokemon, I absolutely HATE having to conform to drawing what people consider cute, adorable, and absolutely endearing; Pokemon such as Eevee and its evolutions, Pikachu, etc. Zorua kind of counts, but I actually like it as a Pokemon, since it's a Dark type, and it's not as popular as many think.

But I didn't have any idea of what to draw, really. I started off thinking I would draw Zorua, but then I decided against it; too many people might choose that as a subject. Then I humorously considered drawing a super-kawaii-desu Basculin just for fun, but then I realized I wouldn't be able to pull it off. Finally, I fell upon the decision of drawing a Bouffalant. And the only way to draw a cute Bouffalant is to draw a baby Bouffalant!

Now, I actually own a Bouffalant. She's a Shiny Bouffalant whom I named Bison. And Bison is one of the most amazing Shinies I've ever had. That's why you can see sparkles around the initial drawing (center). Even though I never actually owned her at level 1, or any true low level, I thought I'd draw her as a baby, and an orphaned baby at that. No matter how big an animal can be, it's pretty cute when it's a baby, hence this normally large Pokemon being calf-sized. I know that isn't actually a Bouffalant's style of eyes, but I'm just screwing around with it, to make it look quite darling. Adding a bell or accessory to that helps a bit as well.

And yes, that was meant to be me in that corner right picture... Since I've been watching the Advanced Generation series of Pokemon, I've experimented with a new human eye style that I've seen on the show. I like it a lot better, too. The perspective of that corner right drawing may have been messed up, but SCREW PERSPECTIVE For now at least.

Once again, this is just practice. I want to know whether you guys actually think Bison looks adorable in these sketches.
