Learning How to Smile

So I met two new friends in pchat today, it was kind of nice to do the stupid thing Ibuki and I did and Lily was a sweetums :]
cgad asked me to join her in pchat.

I think this marks the day my art matures. As Alice and I used to call them, art leaps. I think I'm in the midst of one, which would be quite pleasureable. I think I'm going to start sketching some pages to the Gamerz comic and some of the other things on my personal to do list to make myself happy.
I love when I manage to stop and draw something in one sitting. It makes me proud. Like Henry Letham <3 I did that in one sitting.

Anyway, I thought about how much Natalie always tells me I give Mango so much screen time and barely ever draw Nové anymore.
The woman I have all my accounts named after. The first stable character that I gave 'birth' to from my mind.

I've never drawn her realistically. So here she is. My wonderful Nové Agada.
Always important to me. And pretty as ever.
It's titled what it is...because I never seen to draw her smiling and when I started to draw her she looked like she was biting back a smile, as if not ot offend Mango when he rips over his own feet or embarasses himself infrotn of Cod or something of the like.

The only time she'd hold one in.
I think I'm getting the hang of my art and taking my TIME with it.

I think one of these days I'll hunt for some older sketchbooks, I have stuff to scan and tell stories about guys. I want to do one of those drawing time lines finally. Because I've hit the jackpot on my shit. HAHA.

Awesome.

THIS UPLOADING STYLE HOWEVER, NOT SO AWESOME.
Nové© moi <3

Edit:
ALSO, I totally forgot too I JUST FINISHED THIS HAHA bhdgkh, I decided to show her scar she got form her dad.
He got drunk one night and smacked her with a broken bottle and his girlfriend FREAKED, DUMPED HIM, and ran Nové to the hospital. Given she was liek a preeteen or sometihng :/ maybe 14? 15? Dunno.
