A drawing to express how I feel about Steemit. As an artist, I feel really excited to be a part of this community, that already has such a great diversity when it comes to styles and mediums, and I can't wait for the art community to grow bigger!

Mew meets Steemit
Mythical pokémon Mew meets Steemit, and just like me, Mew is in awe of what it has to offer ^_^
Size: A6
Paper: Strathmore 300 Series Smooth Bristol
Tools: Copic Sketch markers, Copic multiliners, Prismacolor Premier colored pencil, Sakura white gel pen
Speed drawing video
The drawing took me 2.5 hours to make, and I have put up a speed drawing video of the prosess, 10x the speed.
In progress photos
I used the following markers for the drawing:
- Background: B91, B93, B95, B97
- Blues: B0000, B000, B00, B12, B14
- Pinks: RV000, RV10, RV63
The sketch
I used a warm gray multiliner to outline the drawing
The coloring
Since the background was going to be darker than the objects, I started coloring the objects to avoid the dark marker bleeding into the objects.
This is what the drawing looked like before I added details with colored pencil and white gel pen.
The finished drawing
I added colored pencil to Mews eyes and the Steem logo and highlighted Mew using white gel pen. The stars are also made with white gel pen.

This artwork is fantastic, I wish I could draw as well as you!
Thank you so much ^_^ And you should just start to draw if you want, I have only been drawing for a year. I waited so long before I started cause I figured it wasn't any point since all the good people probably had been drawing since they were kids, but turnes out it's never to late to start. :)
Oh my goodness it is soooo cute!!! I love it! ^^ you are super talented Pixielolz
Thank youu :) Mew is possibly the cutest pokémon, so it's almost bound to be super adorable ^^
The light is amazing, it looks fluorescent and magical
Thank you, I was trying to make it look magical and maybe a bit mysterious :D
Very cute! Good job.
Thank you ^_^
That's really cool! Beautful drawing! Mew is one of my favorites :)
What's a white gel pen btw? Looks really awesome!
I just did a comic of my own, was done quickly and would love to get some coloring on future ones. :D
Thank you, yeah Mew is awesome! :D
A gel pen uses ink where the pigment is suspended in a water-based gel. And the ink is opaque, so that you can draw over black or darker colors :) I think it's better to use white acrylics, it gives a better result, but I haven't had a chance to buy it jet.
Amazing post @pixielolz :)
Flow on!
Thank you ^_^
I'm glad you did a video. I'm sure it will attract more people. Good job with the drawing!
