The first of... *shrug* Yeah. Pretend there's a blizzard, 'cause I don't know how to go about drawing one (well). As you can see, this one was pretty sloppy. I didn't even do it on blank paper. It's on the back of a syllabus for a creative writing course I took a couple months ago.

But hey, it's the beginning. Considering I'm almost 20, it's obvious this is not the first picture I've ever drawn. However, I like to think of it as the first one since deciding to make this an active hobby. Woot!

The hardest part of this for me was getting the clothes to look 3D. I was trying to add wrinkles and such, but it came out looking like badly done shading.

In case anyone cares, this guy's name is Jaques. That was the name of my primary character in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Argonians rule!

Oh yeah... the whole pants thing... I didn't want to draw pants, so I drew heart patterned boxers. Deal with it.

ARG! Every time I look at this picture, i see more things wrong with it. The arms look totally screwed up. I think it's because of his sweater. Jaques is filling about half of that sweater, but the wind is blowing it back to make it look like his torso is facing the "camera". What's really happening is he's pulling his right arm across his chest to brace himself and shield his body against the cold wind. I guess I should have made that arm shorter than the left, to give the illusion of depth it needed.

Okay, I'd better stop editing this post.

Yeah, the left arm needs foreshortening and an elbow. It looks like he's doing some kind of funky disco move. But drawing gets better with practice; it's a skill, not a talent. Love the tail sock. And the boxers, of course.

Now that you've started, I expect regular updates! :P

Personally, I think the sloppiness and bleed-through from the syllabus fit with the title (it is, after all, "Pocket Lint"). However, Jaques definitely needs a right elbow. And some pants.

Tail sock I'm quite proud of it. I think it goes well with his boxers. Plus, why wouldn't a lizard wear a tail sock in Winter?
