Pokémon Artist Ken Sugimori

Some of Ken Sugimori's works, among that of other artists, can be found in Game Freak's gallery archive section, and include artwork of Whitney, Officer Jenny, and Jessie.

His change of style over the years has been interesting. At first, he used a stiff, lightly-shaded style that was very reminicent of the early works of Akira Toriyama.

However, in recent years, his drawings of people and creatures have had more muscle definition, shading, and more natural and fluid poses.
