LOOK AT MY TINY LEGS GODDAMN

I used to love drawing. Ever since I was a wee lad, I would always find myself drawn to reams of paper, as they were blank faces just waiting to be given life. In the early days of high school, I'd carry a sketchbook around with me wherever I went and drew whatever came to mind, which was terrible looking anime characters 99% of the time. However, as time went on, I found myself using a pencil more to draw pictures through words than actually creating them. Writing came much more naturally to me and was much simpler to refine.

As time went on, I stopped drawing altogether--even the doodles that adorned the margins in my notebooks slowly stopped appearing. I guess it was because I become so overly critical of my drawings; my standards exceeded my skill and I wasn't willing to practice enough to get better. In retrospect, I wish I had kept at it...drawing well is certainly a good way to impress the ladies!

Anyways, last night I found a blank sheet of paper within my pink Princess Peach folder. Without even realizing it, I started to scribble on it with no real direction until I had compose a head with an oversized chin. Eventually, I kept at it, not caring about what I was doing wrong until I was almost finished. And well, I'm quite proud of the result! It's not perfect, but it's the best thing I've drawn since my hair was completely black!
The weird proportions came from a lack of planning; I didn't expect to actually finish this picture and by the time I started drawing the belt, I'd mostly run out of room for his legs. So instead of cutting them off, I figured I'd just squeeze them in. I'm very happy with this unintentional result!

Maybe I should tackle Chun-Li and her Thunder Thighs next...?
