I had always been a fan of anime ever since I got into Pokemon, I had to of been around six or seven. The art style just seemed very intriguing, so I started collecting Pokemon cards... well my older brother gave me his collection, so then I started collecting the cards. Once I found out there was a TV show, I just had to watch it.
The older I got the more distant I became from the TV show, but I still collecting the cards and had to be sure to catch every Pokemon in the games. Each critter had a unique shape, it was different from regular cartoon characters, I just say a bit more creativity. After a while I just became distant from Pokemon all together, though still buying the new games in which I would complete the final task but I could care less about collecting the Pokemon.
Around ninth or tenth grade, I made a new friend. He was BIG into anime and expressed it fairly clearly. Normally I become who I'm around, so I began to like anime. It was all my choice, I know a lot of people will tell me I shouldn't mold my personality, but if I didn't do that then I wouldn't have the experience and knowledge I do today. I don't change my personality to become accepted, I do it for the experience, so I can place myself in another's shoes. I also love learning about new things, and try new things. Anyways I began to draw around the tenth or eleventh grade, anime of course, but it also was the start to my headaches, when I started getting into anime.
Watching anime all day long, from the time I got home from school till the time I went to bed, it was all I really did anymore. I would spend about two to three hours drawing an anime character I was currently into at the time, mostly protagonists at the time. Then drawing became so much more than just the characters I knew, I would look up anime and search for a picture I thought looked cool, and so I drew it. That was when I really became involved in drawing. I got special pencils, and everything just so I can hopefully get close to the image I was looking at.
My headaches continued to get worse at that point. Not realizing it then but, I'm creative. Overly creative for that matter. I think of many different possibilities and outcomes for... everything. This can happen or that can happen and my mind would just race and go through several different scenarios, over something that could be as simple as a rock. I still get headaches, still really bad ones, worse even than a while ago, but I look at them as a sign of me putting my creativity to work.
Here are a some of the drawings I did! Some are unfinished and they aren't dated or in any specific order so I can't tell you which one was my first, but I do know it didn't have color to it. There are more drawings I will add in the future, just need to get them on my computer.
