Thursday Throwback: Soccer Drawing

The internet was instrumental in teaching/helping me develop as an artist.  I used to frequent anime sites, forums, and communities, and drool over other artists' work.  Seeing their art helped me develop my own art. This pencil drawing was made for the forum at the Monthly Anime Gaijin (which is now sadly defunct).  The premise of the site was that an artist's original anime character was featured, and artists would submit a drawing of the character.  The artist would pick the submission they liked best, and the winner would have their anime character featured for the next month.  I never won, but it was a lot of fun.  I used to go by the screenname "K..." there.

I used to play soccer for a few years, so go figure.
