Description The official Disney princesses from Disney's "Disney Princesses" franchise in Pokemon style. I tried to emulate Sugimori's style, but it didn't exactly work... The tutorials I could find had contradicting instructions, such as "draw outlines with the line tool" "pick a pencil like brush for outlines" "shade with smugde" "shade with a soft brush" etc. I didn't really understand them so I shaded with just lower flow on the brush.

More thoughts on them here , in "drawings".



F.A.Q.

Q: Will you draw ____?
A: I don't know. I'm glad I managed to finish eight of them, isn't that enough for now?
Q: Where is Jasmine/Pocahontas/Kida/whatever?
A: I thought Jasmine and Pocahontas weren't a part of the lineup so I didn't draw them, but I have now been corrected. Other characters are missing because I don't have the time to draw every possible Disney female.
Q: Mulan is not a princess!
A: I know, I've seen the movie. But she's a part of the official princess lineup and if I had left her out people would start asking where she is.







Snow White, from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
Used the round Skyla style eyes, which was a mistake. I wanted to use the stripes on the poofy sleeves somehow, but it made the design too busy so I thought it was better to leave them out.
Cinderella
Not really liking the design, but I find the drawing the most Sugimori style looking. A bit silly how she has such sturdy trainers when the delicate glass slippers were a central part of her story, but it's not like a Pokemon trainer could go around in those. The shirt tied at her waist was blatantly copied from Candice.
Aurora, from Sleeping Beauty
This might be my least favourite, the design has too much going on and it doesn't really stay together. Also I think her blue dress looks way much better than the pink one, but I picked the pink thing anyway since Belle and Cinderella already had a blue colourscheme.
Belle, from Beauty and the Beast
This is probably the only one of these I fully like... Using the blue/white outfit instead of the yellow ball gown thing, I think it looks a million times prettier.
Ariel, from the Little Mermaid
One bandana = good. More than one = not so good any more. What was I thinking? Tried to make this one resemble something you could wear on a hot beach.
Mulan
She's my favourite Disney princess but the pokegirl outfit turned out pretty bland. On the other hand her outfit had so many colours that it was tough keeping the design from getting too busy.
Tiana, from the Princess and the Frog
Another outfit that has a lot of stuff going on and very little of it has much sense. And I'm still unsure about the curls hanging from the bag; pokemon style shouldn't have that thin lace. But I really wanted to make use of the plant thing on her waist from the lilypad dress, and that was the only thing I could think of.
Rapunzel, from Tangled
This is my second favourite after Belle even if the outfit looks neither too pokemon-like nor resembles Rapunzel's outfit... I sketched the rough draft of the dress design and it looked so nice that I wanted to use it even if it had very little in common with Rapunzel's dress, and in the end the only thing I could do to make it a bit more recognisable was the colours. Also tried to use the stripes from her sleeves for the thights.

I sent this picture to my boyfriend and we spent an hour discussing what kind of pokemon they'd have.
Now I'm planning to try to cosplay one of the princess trainers.

Love it! My favorites are Ariel, Mulan, Tia and Rapunzel.

Now i really want to see them with their pokemon partners. (Obvio it has to be a pokemon that fits them and their personalities XD)

Everyone says Ariel would use Water-type. I vote for humanoid-looking ones (Machop, Kadabra (he even has spoons!), and Hitmonlee's strong LEEEGS), and things shaped like human doohickeys (Magnemite, Voltorb, Chimecho, Chandelure, etc.)... and a Solrock, of course. ("Play all day in the sun" and all.)

Anyway, this is really well done! The problem with nailing Sugimori's style is that his style has changed over time (it used to be in watercolor, after all). I think you got it pretty well!

I mostly agree with your thoughts on the characters, though I think Ariel's two-bandanas aren't that bad, since they're reminiscent of fish tails. Cinderella could've had a bandana for her hair though, which might've looked better than the fancy up-do while still keeping it in character (her peasant 'do). I really love Belle's dress; I'd actually wear something like that in real life if it existed!

I also liked how you shaped their eyes differently while still keeping it in-line with the Pokemon style.

Hapuriainen In reply to JoJoBynxFwee [2012-02-28 05:32:51 +0000 UTC]

The fact that I couldn't pick one style and stick to it didn't exactly help either, the bodies were drawn with using generation 4 Sugimori style, while the colours were mostly from generation 5 (where the human characters weren't even drawn by Sugimori...)

Nice if you like the eyes, I've been unsure to draw anything but the standard eyes though. I'm not too confident about managing to copy the pokemon style, so it's easier to pick the most generic looking pokemon eyes.

Snow White - normal types
Cinderella - ice types
Aurora - psychic types (maining drowzee, hypno, and snorlax)
Belle - rock types
Ariel - water types
Tiana - grass types
Rapunzel - insect types

Ariel would have Lapras.
Sleeping Beauty would have Jigglypuff. (Remember that episode where it drew all over people's faces?)
Mulan would have Hitmonlee or Hitmonchan.
Rapunzel would have Treeko.
Tiana would have Politoed.

Can't think of any for Belle or Snow White. Shame, really, since Belle is one of my favorite princesses (aside from Ariel). I should add that Mulan is not a princess. But she also kicks quite a bit of ass.

Love this

FelinaofL2 In reply to ??? [2012-02-26 05:26:34 +0000 UTC]

Nicely done! I think Belle, Ariel and Tiana look the most "Gym Leader-y", with Rapunzel close behind. I can also see Aurora being a far better Goldenrod Leader than Whitney, the cheapest Gym Leader in ALL OF JOHTO. (Stupid Miltank!)

You do raise a good point about Aurora that I've pondered too: She spends nearly the whole film in a blue dress, yet Disney somewhere along the line made it pink and made Cinderella's silvery-white gown into a pale blue. I've found that so weird.

...But Whitney is the best gym leader ever BECAUSE of the Miltank...! (ohh I remember how it repeatedly destroyed my entire team)
