This is the first time I tried shading my drawing. I also added pupils to the eyes. This surely makes the character look realistic, but is it just me or why do I think my style looks cuter without the pupils? :/

This drug has the same name as me. lol

Ritalin (birth name: Methyl Phenidate) is a controversial child psychiatrist and special educator who achieved fame and popularity from the late 1990s to the early 2000s. She is most often seen with yellow and white outfits . Having two big families of stimulants - the Piperidines and the Phenethylamines - in her blood, Ritalin is lean, assertive, and vibrant like a typical stimulant; at the same time, she is less jumpy and compulsive, which contributes to her success in the medical community. While she is more related to Speed , she partially shares the mechanism with Cocaine: producing stimulative effects by blocking the dopamine transporter.

Ritalin was born in 1944 in Switzerland. She was named after her "mother" Marguerite, or the wife of the scientist (Leandro Panizzon) who synthesized her, because she treated her mother's low blood pressure. At the age of 10, she was found to be a stimulant and a child prodigy. She went ahead in school with straight A's, but it was not until the 60s she decided to devote herself to treating children with attention deficiency. With her strong attitude and a workaholic tendency, she has helped countless children to focus and became the best known "smart drug".

With fame there also comes controversy. Ritalin has been criticized for prescribing to children who are more active but otherwise normal, helping students to pass exams, and causing problems that are common to stimulants - addiction, acute psychosis, and obsessive-compulsive behavior. Ritalin usually greets those criticisms with her signature wide, spectacled, high-cheekboned smile, saying that if people have problems, they're going to need medications, and if students don't usually study, cramming things in the last minute is not going to do them good in the long-term.
