Like A Polaroid Picture?
Hooray, I'm actually posting what I promised I'd post! Usually I tend to drift away from the set plan, but it looks like this time there is hope! Anyhow, Tenshiyaki requested this in an earlier host of LJ posts ( *points below* ), so I thought I'd share my doodles with you all. This should especially interest Jessi, if she takes the time to visit LJ.
I used to do more drawing, but we had a terrible Art teacher once that almost brought about the demise of my love of drawing. Seriously, no offence to the woman, but she looked about as enthusiastic and lively as a skeleton. Art teachers should be fun, slightly wacky and creative, not this deadpan deadbeat, whatever crypt they dragged her from. Following three traumatic years under her emotionless tutorship, I've had to slowly re-introduce drawing to my lifestyle/diet, so there hasn't been as much output from me since then.
But enough of that. Enjoy some artwork, a first for my LJ. Imageshack, don't fail me now!
The first is a picture of my ex-wife.

Second is a picture of my cousin.

This is a self-portrait, from that bizarre summer a few years ago when I bought a two-way radio.

On a more serious note, here's a character I drew from a "How to Draw Manga" book I purchased last year. I like the hair here, but not the eyes.

Here's a selection of characters I did for my friend Emily, although I never did get around to finishing it.

And this is similar, except it's completed and was for my friend Jessi.

Here's a bit of Okami art..

...and bringing up the rear we have Nurse Angie from Trauma Center : Under the Knife, who, as I recently discovered, is voiced by Wendee Lee ( otherwise known as Haruhi Suzumiya ).
Hot, no?

When it comes to sketching/drawing/art of any kind, I can do some great stuff-if I have a picture to copy. Drawing well without anything as a reference is a skill I haven't managed to achieve as of yet, but I'm sure that comes with practice. I can do a decent amount of Pokémon without copying, but that's about it.
Still, I'm not half-bad, even if I'm not conjuring up original pictures. What do you guys think?
