How To: Draw Bellossom

Hey Pokémon fans!

Spring is here and I'm a mess. I have horrible allergies and I have to stay home most of the time instead of going outside and enjoying my day. Even though I haven't been able to go outside, it hasn't been all bad. The extra time gave me the opportunity to make a new Pokémon drawing tutorial for you all. When I think of spring, I think of flowers; therefore, I decided to draw Bellossom. Alright, let's get into it. I hope you guys enjoy the tutorial!

Here is what you will need:


- 1 sheet of blank paper
- A pencil with an eraser
- Colored pencils (optional)
- Ruler (optional)

Step 1:


1. Draw four circles. The first circle, Bellossom's head, should be about 3 inches below the top of your paper and it should be 2 inches in length and 2.5 inches in width. The second and third circles, Bellossom's flower centers, should be about .5 inches in length and width. Lastly, the fourth circle, Bellossom's body should be about 3.5 inches in length and width.

Step 2:



2. Draw an oval inside Bellossom's flower center. Then, draw five flower petals around the flower center. You can achieve this by drawing a C (green in image) for the sides and another C (red in image) for the top.

Step 3.


3. Repeat Step 2 a second time on Bellossom's other flower center.

Step 4:


4. Draw a circle two circles (grey in image) for Bellossom's eye. Then, draw two other smaller circles (yellow in image) for Bellossom's pupils. Next, draw a small C (red in image) in the corner of Bellossom's eye. This curve will act as Bellossom's iris.

For Bellossom's mouth, draw an upside down C (red in image). Then, draw another upside down C (grey in image) right underneath the C you just drew. Finally, draw one last C (yellow in image). The last C is Bellossom's tongue.

Lastly, draw two ovals (green in image) on both sides of Bellossom's face. These are Bellossom's cheeks.

Step 5:


5. Draw a big curve ( big red C in image) that connects to Bellossom's head, and then draw two lines (big yellow lines in image) to form Bellossom's arms. Next, to the very top line, add another little line (small yellow line in image) to symbolize Bellossom's body. Then, draw another C (green in image) that connects the two yellow lines.

Repeat the steps above for Bellossom's second arm with the exception of drawing a big curve (big red C in image). Instead of doing a big curve, draw a smaller one (small red C in image) that connects both arms together.

Step 6:



6. Draw a big curve (red in image) and a backwords C (yellow in iamge). Then, draw another curve (green in image) that stops where Bellossom's body begins.

Step 7:


7. Draw two side-by-side- leaves that are almond shaped. You can achieve this shape by drawing a curve (red in image) and another curve (yellow in image).

Step 8:



8. Similar to step 6, draw another leaf that connects to the one you just created.

Step 9:


9. Draw a curve (red in image) and connect it to another curve (green in image). This is another petal this is underneath the two big ones you previously created. Lastly, draw four triangles (yellow in image) in the gaps between in the petals.

Step 10:














10. Admire your Bellossom! I strongly recommend you clean up your drawing by erasing any excess lines. This makes your drawing look a lot more polished. If you want, you can also color your Bellossom to give it a little bit more life. Above is a side-by-side comparison of the colored and uncolored Bellossom.

Thank you guys for taking the time to read my tutorial and made a Bellossom as well. I hope you guys enjoyed the tutorial and I plan on making more of these tutorials in the future. If you enjoyed this tutorial, don't forget to stay stuned for more!

20 Years of Pokémon

What's up Pokémon fans?

As most of you know, it was Pokémon's 20th anniversary yesterday. To kick off the anniversary, Pokémon is giving away legendary Pokémon video game codes each month. Below is a chart about which Pokémon will be given out each month, and you can get these codes from places like Gamestop.

 Original site

In addition to the free Pokémon, the Pokémon Company also released the original Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow video games for Nintendo 3DS. The games are pixelated and have 4-bit background music. Pokémon Yellow is also in color. I have attached a video of what the video games will look like on your screen below. 


Lastly, new merch has been released as well. Most of the merch has the exclusive new Pokémon 20th anniversary design. The design is a Pikachu made up of all the starter Pokémon from previous generations. Clothing like hats and shirts have been released and, if you ask me, they are pretty cool.

The Pokémon Company has released a ton of different things to celebrate their 20th anniversary, so if you're interested in finding out more feel free to go to their website. That's all for today, Pokémon fans, and I hope you all have a great day today!

Pokémon Go!

Hello Pokémon fans!

I just came home from school, and I was scrolling through the internet when I found news on the Pokémon Go game. If you don't know what Pokémon Go is, it is an augmented reality game. This basically means that computers are generating images on a user's view on the world. I know it might sound extremely complicated, but I'm sure the Pokémon Company will not disappoint with this new piece of media.

The article I was reading broke down what Pokémon Go is, so I definitely recommend reading it if you want to know more about the device. Andrew Webster, the author of the article, mentioned that the Nintendo is going to work with the Pokémon Company to develop a Blue-tooth enabled device that will light up and vibrate whenever you approach a Pokémon in the real world. This accessory is called the Pokémon Go Plus.

I don't know about you guys, but I have so much hope in the device. I know that there has been a lot of controversy with the Pokémon Go game because it's something that just seems to complicated to create. I think that the Pokémon Company is taking a big leap with the game, but in the end I hope everything goes as planned.

The game is a collaboration with DeNa and Nintendo, and if the game does release, I think it will change the gaming industry forever. I'm really excited for this game and I know Nintendo will do a good job. I'm all for change and I know that Pokémon Go will definitely change people's perspectives on video games.

Well thats my opinion on Pokémon Go, but what's yours? Please feel free to comment your thoughts and onions in the comment section below this post!

New Year Resolutions Round 2



Hi Pokémon Fans!

It's finally 2016 and I can't believe how fast time flies. I started this blog the beginning of my freshman year, and now it's almost the end of my sophomore year. I remember typing one of these posts in January of last year and now I'm typing one again. Alright, nostalgic things aside, let's get into resolutions!

#1 Resolution: Post 

It might seem like the most simple resolution ever, but it's something I really need to start doing more. I can't just make one post and be gone for two months and then come back like nothing has happened. I made a commitment to this and I hope to keep that going for, not only you guys, but for myself. I love this blog and I should really start showing that. I'm going to be just as determined as Nurse Joy in the above GIF.

#2 Resolution: Draw 


My Squirtle drawing ended up being a huge hit! I'm really glad it got so much positive feedback from the people I know and I will continue to draw more Pokémon. It's time to give the people what they want in 2016 and I'm happy to provide it. I love drawing and I'm glad people want me to continue doing so. I'm thinking about drawing Charmander next time, but if there are any other Pokémon you'd like to see, please feel free to leave a comment at the end of this post. 

I believe that's all for now. I hope you guys all had a wonderful day today and be sure to stay tuned to see my future posts and drawings!
