If you can ask for a specific pokemon I will make one so you will know I am making these fresh and for the most part to help this game.

There are some places where it looks bumpy, and not all your lines are clean. The lower fin seems odd as well... it's too 'towards the head'. Lastly, the shading near the tail seems odd.



You could try out some easy ones for the time being, such as Voltorb, Jigglypuff, Pikachu, Mew, Swablu, Electrode, Magnemite, Drifloon, etc.

And I suggest you work on white background.

Otherwise, It's not bad :)

No one can go back and change a bad beginning; but anyone can start now and create a successful ending.
If a problem can be solved, no need to worry about it. If it cannot be solved what is the use of worrying?

It's a good drawing, and magikarp honestly looks like a penis there.

To work on what Jerry mentioned; there are also areas where the color bleeds into the background. You can noticed this on his underbelly and near his whispers. The orange is moving past the outline and into your black backgrounds. (The dorsal fin seems out of place with it's coloring.)

Fixing that, along with some of the shading and blocky areas of the outline would be a huge improvement.

Otherwise, it's really good for a first attempt and I like the style of it.

And if you want to try, a clear background is always a great addition to a picture over a colored one.

I'll work on him thanks for the suggestions. I still find the whole lighting thing the most difficult to process. Btw the black background wasn't intentional I have no idea why i left it there and when i saved the picture it merged the 2 layers together. :(

Or you could work on transparent background if you can have layers.
