Actually that is like me. When I was small, I asked my mom to draw Pikachu from a magazine. She drew it and gave it to me, and I was a crybaby so I cried because it didn't look perfect. But it was pretty good.
I'm usually a bit of a perfectionist so that is why I never draw. I always give up on drawing, because I see everything wrong with it and nothing good about it >.<
I used to be a good artist. I, was, actually top in my class( when I had art). But the problem was, it takes me a VERY long time to draw something good. So naturally, I don't draw often. ^^;
The purple outline is tinsel. Purple was the only gel pen I had that worked XD To be honest, I can't draw, which is why I was really happy with how it turned out. It is the first thing I have sat down and drawn since my school art classes in year 7 and 8!
