The Pokemon franchise has been around for decades, and over that time, numerous Pokemon have been introduced to the series. While everyone has their favorite Pokemon, some are arguably more famous than others. Among those that have become extremely popular with fans is Mewtwo.

First introduced in Gen 1, Mewtwo is a Psychic-type Legendary Pokemon. As a result of its Legendary status, it is often considered one of the more powerful Pokemon seen in the series. In addition to its strength, it has an interesting backstory as it was created in a lab instead of being captured in the wild. Recently, one fan decided to make some impressive art based on this intriguing Pokemon.

In a post on Reddit, a user known as JayuiceArt shared a picture of a colored pencil drawing they completed. However, what made this artwork stand out was that they had managed to draw Mewtwo from the Pokemon franchise. In the picture, they copied the classic pose of the Pokemon, as it stood on guard and ready to attack. Some highlights of the design included its white and purple coloration, along with a long tail.

In addition to posting a picture of Mewtwo on Reddit, JayuiceArt shared a video of them creating the art on YouTube. Through a timelapse, they illustrated the drawing process behind the detailed artwork. The artist began by making an outline showing the dimension of the Pokemon. Following this step, they then drew the finer details and added colors. Based on the clip, it was evident just how much work went into making the breathtaking picture.

Since posting this incredible colored pencil drawing on Reddit, numerous members of the Pokemon community have taken notice. With over 700 upvotes in less than a day, many were impressed with how closely the artist was able to copy the features of Mewtwo. In particular, one person known as Rico-soul_Light praised the shades of gray and white used in the art. In addition, many appreciated the amount of skill and practice needed to make such a detailed drawing. “Some people on this app have such a talent for art,” sup3rlitluigi commented about the artist.

It is doubtlessly exciting for many fans of Mewtwo to see this incredible drawing. However, this is far from the only artwork based on the Pokemon series that has been created by passionate fans over the last couple of weeks. For example, another gamer also used colored pencils to draw a realistic picture of a rare Charmander card. It will be interesting to see what other creations are made by artistic gamers in the weeks ahead. Perhaps, JayuiceArt will decide to make even more drawings of Pokemon moving forward.
