Here is some of my own work. Work, nope, it's a hobbey but damn it's hard work anyway.

I hope it shows that I try to draw different ethnicities, but at the same time, I try to make up my own. I have specific face-features depending on which one of my fantasy countries they come from. Try to see which countries I've been inspired by!

Although I bend onto manga sometimes... I try to make it as realistic as I can but I still don't want to be restricted by reality either. I bend on anatomy proportions and face features from time to time, more or less...

A bothersome fact is that I rarely finish a drawing. I am very spontanious, and need a lot of time if I would be able to be patient. School stresses me out, not too much but enough to make me feel like there is too little time left for all of the things I want to do. I try as much as I can from now on. My way of thinking is very complex (I've heard) and I've made it a lot harder on myself by just thinking wrong. I tried to remember an easier time and how my thought process worked. Something as simple as starting to draw from the waist instead of the head made it all so much easier. I started to begin with the head a couple of years ago and I've noticed by looking through my drawings that they've become more stiff and just stands there since I began with that. A very complex but simple problem and solution...
