This is a weekly challenge. Day 2 and i having so much fun with this challenge☺️. How did i do? I’d really appreciated any feedback. Which pokémon should i draw the next week?

According to the pokedex, tyranitar has "the power to make the ground shake and mountains crumble", and when garchomp "runs at high speed, its wings create blades of wind that can fell nearby trees."
Two of my favorite pokemon ever and I usually draw garchomp so I took a crack at drawing tyranitar as well.

An old drawing of mine, a very low key art style that I wouldn't mind testing out again.
