Description I drew the lineart for this almost 2 years ago, but finally had to hurry and finish it yesterday.
Why, you ask?
Well, this is a chibi style portrait of the assistant-store manager at the supermarket I work at. She's the most awesome manager I've ever had, or ever will have, and sadly, she's being transferred to another store on Saturday, Friday being her last day working with us.
She's the person that initially hired me 4 years ago, and she and I have gotten along unusually well since day one. She's one of the most beautiful, kind-hearted people I've ever had the priveledge of knowing, and I will miss her terribly each remaining day I work at our store.
She's almost like a mother to me, (another coworker and I even call her Mom as a joke), and I have nothing but fond memories to remember her by. Luckily, she's not going TOO far, I'll still be able to drive to her new location on occasion and harass her mercilessly.
Anyway, I bought her a goodbye Hallmark card, and will be enclosing the original drawing inside of it for her to hang on her fancy new desk, so she'll always remember me.

She's one of the few people who've pushed me to pursue a career in art. You just know your manager cares when she walks over to you in the breakroom, sees you doodling in your sketchbook, inspects your drawing a moment then says, "Why THE HELL do you still work in this hole-in-the-ground with talent like yours?"


I'll miss you, Mrs. Hubbes! You RAWK!

I totally concur. I'm sorry about Hubbes, Jami. But, if you stay, I'll still be here...

No worries, hun. I'm not going anywhere, not for a while. It's true I always said if she left, I'd transfer with her, but that was before I knew you.

Yay! Hugs all around! Yeah, I'm sorry to see her go as well. I didn't really know her all that well, but I already miss her. She was the only COOL manager...aside from Meister when he's NOT working.

Exactly. Besides, with Hubbes around, Hopson never dared to mess with me, because she knew I was on her list of favorite people. With her gone, I'm doomed. No more disciplinary immunity for me.
Oh well. I hope the new guy's nice...

He's...umm...fat. And he looks like he could be a really nice guy. Don't get me wrong, I believe everyone is good until they prove evil, and I believe everyone is trustworthy until they prove otherwise. Oh, I wrote a new poem...its called Poisoned Reality. Its gonna be a song!

I've never seen any books per se, but I'll let you in on what I did to teach myself how to draw them. Just go to google image search, and type in an anime series name, and you'll usually get tons of images to use as reference. When I was still in high school, I'd print them out and glue them in notebooks and carry them with me to use as reference wherever I went until I got the hang of it and developed my own style.
That way you don't have to spend money on those stupid how to draw books. they're a rip off anyways, most of the people you'll see that draw anime style didn't use those at all when learning how to draw. it's just a money-making scheme to cash in on anime's current popularity.

Welcome to DA, by the way. I see your brand new here. Hope you like it! I spend waaaaaay too much of my time on here.
