Pokemon Challenge Day 4: Favorite Electric Type - Zapdos

Since Zapdos is a legendary pokemon I figured I'd have to do something great with this, not just your old boring drawing. I was originally going to draw a cute fluff ball baby zapdos, but as I was drawing the face I got inspiration to take it in another direction. So now it's more of a painting. I also gave Zapdos a more bird-like look. It's original design is bulky and clunky, and it honestly doesn't resemble much of a bird. It kind of just looks like a bunch of spikes.
At first I was kind of intimidated to draw Zapdos because of it's chaotic design and I almost went with my second favorite, Pachirisu, instead. So glad I didn't, I'm really proud how this came out.
