Originated from a quick doodle. I drew some meaning into later.

Also, I experimented a bit with different eye styles.

Interesting...I hope we see a few of them in your next few drawings.

Thanks for your feedback.
Anyway: I need practice badly... I'm currently trying to make something less sketchy which could actually be used for something, but... I already fail at drawing sufficiently circular circles. :oops:

That's awesome. :D Its simplicity makes it look like something that could become a meme. Dunno what kind of a meme that would be, but whatever. Something about it has that kind of a "memish value", which makes everything better. Except memes. Memes that have a memish value are... dunno, it'd be weird if there were memes with memish values... although, that Dolan thing is memish as hell, but it's funny... and every meme will become memish at some point, so I guess this leguan is just ahead of its time. Maybe forever so, which is one awesome thing for things to be, since it means they're INVINCLE.

I finally dared to draw something again, it wasn't nearly as infuriating as expected, and I drew a pretty decent Reimu. With 2 layers, no less.

I blatantly avoided drawing hands, necks, legs or eyes, and if I hadn't, I most likely would've ragequit.

Very broad shoulders.
If not in comparison to the head, in comparison to the hips for sure. For girls the hips almost reach shoulder breadth.

Okay, I guess you're right. A friend of mine told me "If you think they're too broad, they're probably okay", but I've evidently overdone it, especially considering Reimu's most likely body type. Most Reimu pictures are a horrible reference source though, as they depict Reimu's shoulders at about the size of her head.

I think that applies to "realistic" stuff more than anything else, really. It's like how all those Wesnoth art people insist that (by modern society's standards) good-looking female human characters can't exist in the game. :P

Anyway, although I'm obviously not as good as AoD or anything, I thought I'd say this, anyway: the head looks really small, or at least the hair; the mouth is pretty low, and the nose looks like it's from a different perspective than the rest of the face. I like the bow and scarf, though, and how the hair goes.

More of this silly Eduard der Leguan crap. I actually drew most of this a few weeks ago, but didn't feel like writing the stupid tagline by hand on my tablet, which I decided to do again and again for every new comic even though it's no fun (maybe I should just drop that plan and carry on)... either way:
This one is a joke on parietal eyes, which I only learned about when looking at iguana photos for reference so I could (badly) draw one myself.
