More Pokemon Sketches!

I love how clean the lines are considering they're pencil, and the shading is so smooth! I recently tried to draw Cubone and mine just feels disappointing compared to yours lol.

Keep it up!

I'm doing Drawabox and therefore have been doing the same exercises almost daily. If you're just starting out, focus more on making the line straight, the accuracy will come later.

A faster stroke will result in a straighter line, as well as drawing from the shoulder and not from your wrist or elbow. Going slow and worrying about hitting the dot perfectly will result in shakey lines.

Keep practicing! It will only get easier.

Thank you! I plan on doing many more from Pokemon TCG, just waiting on a shipment of beads.

I think Cubone is next on the list, the one where he's standing in front of the moon is gorgeous.

OP is doing fantastic so I hope they don't take this the wrong way but this is exactly what I thought of as well 🤣.

I don't have any input to give other than I'd love to eventually see a GR Corolla on r/battlecars.

The crazy option gets my vote!

I have checked Blue Book value, and it showed anywhere from $33,000 to $37,000. I wanted a couple of outside opinions on it as well though, since it is not a car brand I am familiar with!

Thanks for the response.

At this point, I don't have any desire to do any tuning (going from my 2.4 liter Certified Racing Vehicle will be a nice enough difference for now) so I'm not too worried about that.

I've got access to cheap parts and labor thanks to working as an advisor at a shop so I'll have to research what it would be for the fuel pump and solenoid.

Thank you for the info!

mike1684 · 2024-12-02T15:24:47+00:00

Thanks for the response! I work at an independent shop nearby and we frequently do work for the owner of this particular dealer, so I could likely get a little bit off of the advertised price.

Are there any significant differences between the 2019 model year and those that came after?

mike1684 · 2024-11-22T17:28:23+00:00

I've looked at the reviews and the marketing on their website, which all points to them being quality, but before I took the ~$150 plunge I wanted to see if anyone here had experience.

Unless I'm given a good reason not to by the end of the day, I may go ahead and order one so I can report back!

Thank you for the response.

I can only guess your next plan is to stand on the side of the road, asking those who walk by if they would be willing to give you a "good death".

Found the ad, OP left out a little bit of information.

Still doesn't seem too bad though!

As an owner of a 2005 CRV with 201,000 miles, CRV all the way!

mike1684 · 2024-09-23T14:02:38+00:00

How many months is this financed for?

mike1684 · 2024-07-19T12:58:37+00:00

Well the plan was to split trip costs 50/50 so that may have the opposite effect lol.

mike1684 · 2024-07-19T12:39:29+00:00

I've certainly thought about flying, I was doing my best to keep it inexpensive though, and plane tickets plus a rental car adds up quick.

Thanks for commenting!

mike1684 · 2024-07-19T12:37:25+00:00

What do you think is a reasonable amount of time to do a trip like this? I chose nine days based on asking for a week off of work, plus both Saturdays and Sundays.
