Doodles, sketches, drawings etc

Alright, since there's no thread for single drawings/artworks here, I thought I'd make one. Yeah, it seems that people mostly post to their own threads, but I thought it would be nice if we had one general thread where you can post miscellaneous stuff, maybe get some critique or encouraging words, and so on. Does anyone else like the idea, or do I have to keep this thread for myself?

I'm bit of an art lover, but I rarely draw anything myself. I'd like to draw and/or paint more often, but something seems to block me whenever I try, so I usually manage to create nothing more but doodles on the sketchbook and such. Not so very much creative stuff, but better than nothing. And here's some recent pictures of mine which I thought I could share with you guys:

Chopper straight from actual manga, enjoying his cotton candy before the Davy back fight. This is fairly typical for me, I don't always finish my drawings, or I may just leave some parts missing or forget about coloring a part of it. (And I hate trying to draw that cross on his hat, so this time I didn't.)

And then we have this guilty looking Luffy I just felt like drawing. What can I say, in a sense Luffy is the easiest ever to draw, for he looks just like a… doodle? Then again, this kinda makes it difficult to draw him life-like.

Oh, and my apologies for the scanner being such a bitch. I tried to cut those dark stripes out of the sides of the pictures, but there's still some shade left I see...

Looking like a nice start, keep it up.

I think there can be made some more progress by practice!

Thanks! And by the way, I've browsed your thread through and I have to say, you've got some awesome stuff there yourself.

And while I'm at it, I might as well post a few more drawings. I had a couple of days off so I draw these… and I'm glad I ever get to finish them, 'cause usually if I'm not entirely happy with my work, I just quit, toss my drawings away and forget about the whole thing. This time I was concerned about my giraffe looking like a horse and russian wolfhound looking like a golden retriever, but I got over it. Maybe. I'm not sure yet.

Anyways

So I guess I'll have to keep this thread for myself then.

But it's alright, besides I've been productive lately. May I present you with my non-existant doujinshi of OP, named One Piece of Shit. It's a very sad series. The first issue Bromance Dawn will never be out, and while waiting for it I provide you this sneak peak:

"So you seriously believe you are made of rubber, Luffy? Oh, sure you are. As much as you are the future, uh, pirate king. Yeah. Just by looking at you I can tell you were practically forced to eat those mushrooms and insects and… mushrooms, in order to stay alive back in the days when you were left alone in the jungle, but have you ever thought about cutting off that little habit of yours?"

"And Chopper, I know you've been through some nasty times and I understand those rumble balls you mixed for your personal use only are an easy way out of all that post-traumatic stress and emotional pain you can't withstand while sober, but you know what, Dr Kureha was right when she said your body can't take all that overdosing. As a doctor you should know yourself how harmful drugs are."

And let me just say I didn't get to finish those shadings before scanning, as you can see, and this slightly bothers me. The other thing is I'd prefer these colored, but since I suck at coloring I didn't do that either.

Alright, I really should sleep more.
