Are people born wicked...

... or do they have wickedness thrust upon them?\"

- Wicked

Unbelievable.. after more than a year long of hiatus I\'m BACK....ish.
I had a terrible day, so I\'ll cut it short cause I\'m in no moon of writing.

Does anyone know Wicked? (the book or the musical?)
I never had the opportunity to see the musical on Broadway or anywhere, but it\'s one of my biggest dreams to do so.
I\'m currently reading the book..
This story is my obsession right now
(how the Wicked Witch of the West (from The Wizard of Oz) became who she is and how she knew Glinda the Good Witch) I never felt a story so close to my life, thoughts, experiences like this one.
Plus the book is like nothing I\'ve ever read before and the musical has the most wonderful soundtrack ever!


So.. I started drawing humans. They are my weakest point. Ever since I was little I always drew animals and refused to try humans. I guess I really didn\'t like people
But now I realized just how much I want to be able to draw humans, so I\'m learning. As you can see I didn\'t get too far yet.
I\'d LOVE it if you\'d make a redline for it, or you could correct it anatomically so I could learn. But PLEASE no critics of the harsh kind. I\'m very insecure about my drawing skills right now, so please just don\'t. Be gentle with me

This is my first try drawing a human digitally, and my first finished... \"finished\" drawing in Paint Tool Sai. I love the program, especially how it makes drawing the lineart (which I hate doing) easier.
I think I failed miserably on the colors and the shading, but for the last 12 months I\'ve only been sketching in school (a LOT) and never actually finished/colored anything. I LOVE playing with colors, but I\'m REALLY out of practice.

I don\'t know why I drew this anyway. I have a lot of ideas on my mind that I\'d love to do. This was not one of them.. it just happened.
Don\'t ask me how little Elphie (the green girl on the picture is called Elphaba) got her grown-up-witch clothing, it also just.. happened.
Lazy background is lazy, but I really love drawing gears.

Well, that\'s all. Thoughts and comments are really appreciated, but again, please no harsh critics this time! I suck at this!
