I made this last year for a 1-hour drawing challenge but it took closer to two hours and I am finally putting it here because it seems quite a few people like it.

Erika is my favorite gym leader; I'm happy I finally drew her! I liked the quiet, mannered impression she gave off, and her unabashed affection for strange-smelling and/or carnivorous plants.
