Art Project With E and Red Dust -- Pokemon Series -- 3 -- First Layer
E is my seven year old Granddaughter. I started this art project as a way to bond and teach my Grandkids art techniques. I've fallen in love with drawing cartoons, which surprised me, I like drawing nature subjects. We have two more paintings to go and we will be finished with this series.
I've picked three Pokemon Characters from the aquatic world.
Goldeen is a white, fish-like Pokémon with orange markings on its tail, back, and fins.
Seaking is a large, orange, fish-like Pokémon. It has billowing caudal and pectoral fins, all of which are white specked with black.
Magikarp is a medium-sized fish Pokémon with large, heavy reddish-orange scales. It has large, vacant eyes and pink lips.

E. Is gone for the weekend visiting her Father, I included pictures of my other companions, Mina our rescue dog and Cleo our rescue cat. Mina technically is not a rescue dog. My Sons dog had one puppy and their house is too small for anymore family, we took her in and love her very much. At the time we had no plans for pets because my Husband and I like to travel light. We have pared our life style down to essentials and own no house or debts.
They are hanging out with me today, by the by, they are here every day. I've trained Mina she must only stay on the rug whilst in the living room. Cleo also has been trained to behave whilst in the house. She goes out into the garage at night to hunt vermin and is not allowed outside. She is not allowed on the tables or window ledges. She must ask first before climbing on my lap. She is not allowed to sit on my chest when I'm laying down on the couch typing a post for Steemit, which annoys her to no end!
Nice doggie and kitty!
My grandkids say they love them too...I say, "if you really love our pets you would clean up their poop and wash them once a month." The look on their faces was hilarious, at 7 and 12 years old, they got my innuendo perfectly but still don't want to do chores.
I do like the evolved form of magikarp, Goldeen is a beautiful fish along with its evolved form, the project looks awesome its well done, also the two cute pets looking at the camera are adorable, upvoted.
Thank you @simonjay, I've read the horns on the males are bigger and I'm learning the characters strengths and weakness too. Pokemon is a crazy phenomenon, so much information! The cat and dog love it when I work on my art, they seems to sense my need for quiet. They both settle down as soon as I bring out my tools and paper. The air around me becomes very focused and still my husband says he can feel me concentrating, I think the animals can as well.
I thought I recognized more Pokemon. LOL
Honestly, I didn't think I'd ever seem them again after my kids outgrew them...like 10 years ago! HAHA
And I'm super glad to see that you still have E's attention with the art collaboration! Very cool.
I think I'll become a child again, not the diaper weirdo set, the awe that a child carries, a wonderment of how things are and work. Cept this time around I am liking my veggies....haha, my kids were into hiking, fishing, riding horses, swimming naked (didn't know about that). I was lucky my kids grew up wild in the Oregon woods..the grandkids live a more confined life so I'm trying to open their minds. We have friends of the family, luckily that take them for adventures in the wild here in Oklahoma, we have to watch for ticks though...no ticks in Oregon where I grew up.
Hey, if you haven't gone skinny-dipping, you haven't lived! LOL
My husband says Oregon is absolutely stunning. I've always been on the east coast, except when I was an Army brat living in Seoul, Korea.
The ticks were bad in rural New York too. Not so much here in Florida - but the FLEAS! Holy moly, we must have about 1000 varieties of fleas. My poor pups.
On twitter I have the the hashtag AdultingBadly in my profile! LOL
Man fleas are bad everywhere...my daughter says the same thing about adulting, I'd never heard of it before I got to Oklahoma. My daughter spent several years over on the DMZ serving in the Army, she didn't like Korea much...but the temples and rural communities are beautiful compared to their cities. I miss Oregon, being able to go barefoot all summer...sigh...
I was born fully clothed, you couldn't keep clothes on my kids! Hahaha...I'm the prude of our family.
Good work in bringing the Oregon mindset to Oklahoma! And watch out for those ticks! :O Maybe you will do some 'tick art' -- there's a future Pokemon.
Rural Oregon is much like Oklahoma, very conservative until you go into the cities and liberals rule...I can mix with everyone if I keep my mouth shut :-/ haha
Yep, I'm from western Kansas originally. There's a lot of quiet folks there, too. Oregon is so different from region to region, though, that's for sure. I was thinking of urban Oregon and thereabouts.
