Well the request I've taken are certainly giving me a lot of practice in my drawing. I've pretty much only gone a day or two in the past few weeks without picking up a pencil, and I'm learning quite a lot too. Something else I did when I went shopping last weekend was pick up a basic cartooning book which while looking like something for amatures, reminded me of a few of the basics I'd either forgotten or just never really discovered on my own.

To that end, I realised just how few rules I had when it came to drawing characters. While I've long broken my habits of drawing free hand, I find I leave quite a bit to the imagination and make things up as I go along which makes much of my art very inconsistant.

To that end, I want to start an exersize wherein I draw my character at least once a day, be it either a head-shot or a full body profile. I want to establish some ground-rules when it comes to how I draw him so that I can make him look the same dispite the myrid of poses I can put him through.

I've done a few drawings of him recently, all very basic poses and I may scan and post them either this weekend or early next week. What I want to propose is that you, my audience, give me poses and themes that might be challenging to draw (say from 'doing a hand-stand' to 'Operating heavy machinery under medication'. The more creative the idea, the more likely I'll use it. I'll also give credit as to whom gave me the idea in the comments section of the picture.

Thats about all for now. I'm keeping request open as well, but at this point I might have to keep future ones down to simple pencil sketches since I have enough on my plate as it is.
