May 2008: Mareep tutorial
Please visit my site to view the full tutorial

Mareep has yellow fleece, blue feet and a blue face. Its ears and its tail have bright yellow and black stripes on them and there is a shining orb on the tail. The orb is generally orange in color. It's not transparant, but it does seem to be very clear. To achieve the effect of a round, smooth and shining orb, make sure the center has a darker color than the edges of the orb. To complete the effect, you might want to consider drawing some yellowish light reflecting off the tail and fleece of the Pokémon. A shiny Mareep has almost the exact same colorscheme as a normal Mareep, except for the fact that its fleece is pink. Extremely pink.
