Description
www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PdEJI…Go listen to me blahbeddyblah some more while I tackle drawing human Tak from Invader Zim! Among other things, I go into a little more depth about what first got me into the show ^^
In the second part of the video you can't really see me drawing her legs-- my paper kinda shifted around-- so I'm REAL sorry about that
And I always have that STUPID shadow on my paper from the camera rig -_- Plus this is my longest vid yet, so I still hope you'll stick with me to the end. And HEY, it's got Lucy in it! 
I also forgot to color in her dark spots, but the video was just getting waaaaay too long.
Thanks SO much to everyone who likes these little low-quality vids of mine

OMG thanks you! I managed to draw her without any reference back in 2009 (I was a Zatr fangirl so I did a lot of drawings of Tak and Zim together during middle school) but 10 years later I cannot draw her anymore because I have troubles with her damn hair >:'v one more time again thanks you, I can draw Tak again muahahah >:3

I'm intrigued that you start with the eyes and don't use any guidelines. Not that there's a "wrong" way to draw, but every instruction I've seen says to use guidelines/action lines.

If I'm doing a difficult pose, or a character I'm unfamiliar with, then I'd use some guidelines. When it's one I've drawn a million times just standing in a standard pose, though, then I don't really need any
EDIT: Oops, I posted this twice. Derp! XD

DUDE, i'm sorry but the cat is sooo adorable, swatting at the pencil and smelling it >u<
I CAN'T DEAL, ARGH!
Aside from that, watching human Tak's face come to life in your style was hypnotic.
I even see beauty in her in her human disguise, especially because she has actual pupils and we can see how sinister and begrudging she truly is.
To me, Tak's nature seemed more present in her disguise than in usual form -- possibly because as a human it's easier for me to identify with a human face.
But like you, her Irken form makes more sense because i can find flaws in her.
It seems more resonant, not to mention it's the real Tak -- it's the truth, and painful as it may be (especially given the head cannon i gave her), that IS Tak, and i LOVE to see the truth exposed.
Still, you captured it all so eloquently and last night when i saw you had posted a new vid, in front of everybody i just squealed XD
And while i have not read your fics (BAD FOX DX), i LOVE the comics so far and am rooting for you!
I know it'll be a HUGE success, as AiW is quite popular anyhow and many people love some of the dark concepts that fit with it.
SO to see IZ merge with it is quite amazing
It was interesting to learn how and why you fell for IZ, and agreed; Dib had to grow on me too, but as time went on i started to pity him even more than Zim! XD
Zim is indeed, seemingly less conscious of his bullying.
My theory, he DOES come to a realization of sorts, but it's still not all there to him~.

DICKS...
Anyway, epic as always!
Thank you for sharing this with us

NYEEE!! ^^ Thank you!! I'm glad you liked my vid so much (though I thought you would, considering the subject matter ^_-)
If anything, I relate to Tak better as an Irken. She has these tiny moments of almost losing control when she's in her human disguise such as when she attacks Zim with the BBQ covered meat, but for the most part she's as cool as ice. I like her better when she shows her true personality, going crazy on Zim, and screaming and yelling and just letting down that facade 
As for Zim and Dib: yeah, let's face it, both of them think highly of themselves, and both get made fun of, but Zim seems completely oblivious to it, whereas Dib... I think it really gets to him sometimes, like when everyone was laughing at him in 'Frycook' and he just shed a single tear (OMGSOHARDTOWATCHWAAAHHHH!! ). The Tallest could tell Zim right to his face they hate him, but Zim would just keep on smiling, thinking they're all good buddies It's sad too in its own way, but with Dib all the rejection he gets, especially from his own family, I think hurts him, and this makes him so desperate to prove that he's not crazy or weird, especially with Zim at first, he can come off as... well, kind of a jerk
And hey, don't worry about the fanfics thing-- I know... they're loooooooong! 
Oh yeah... Red and Purple need some serious dick punching

YAS!!
HAHA i love her moments when she slips up, to me it's fun to watch XD
But again like you, i like her more in her Irken form :3
It's just the eyeballs that get my attention in her human form XD
Yeaaaah point made perfectly there, UGH Dib's tears ;A;
HA it is true, i do feel awful for Zim BECAUSE he's so ignorant but then again i think it's worse when you KNOW you're a reject :/
Awww it's ok, i understand ^v^
My stuff is really long too X'D
I have no doubt in my mind that your fics are AMAZING though and maybe these comics will sway me to get reading
Hehe yeah, it's one of the reasons i have Pepps zap them both with an electric prod

I've heard of it, and have thought about hopping on board, but I just wouldn't have the time I'm afraid
