It's been a long while since I've been able to sit down and draw something that I actually liked when I was done with it. I've had so many doubts about my drawing abilities in the past few months that whenever I started drawing something I'd stop as soon as it became a challange to figure out the pose or placement of the facial features.

I'm not the best drawer, I know that, I understand I have to work if I want to make a nice picture, but it gets so frustrating when I think that I have to wait to get better and make really nice pictures. I keep looking at these awesome pictures on dev art and want to be as awesome as the people on here. I aspire to be able to draw backkground! lol. That would be nice.

Bleh, so enough emoing out lol, this is Pepper Paprika, one of three mascots for a cosplay group I'm in. I drew my little character with my cosplay name, Pepper, cause that's one hella of an awesome spice!

I'm not too good at colouring digitally so I'm happy that this turned out well, I took a lot of time to do the skin and hair right but then I got lazy and coloured the rest pretty fast lol.

Well, it's late, I better go to sleep.....or stay up ^^ muahaha. Bais!

drawn in pencil, inked, coloured in phtoshop.
I was able to experiment with patterns by using some really awesome illustrator sashiko patterns by shoriameshiko which can be found here: [link]
