Hiya! So, now that I've had my 36 Gel pen pack for a while, I need some suggestions on what to draw with them! I just posted a Gel pen drawn (and shaded) Ninja Turtle on my DA for practice.

But I'd like some suggestions from you guys! :)
Something Astro Boy related would probably be best :lol:
Or maybe an animal?

Suggest what you'd like, and I'll see if I can draw it; so maybe come up with a few in case I can't~

Forgot to put that in my previous post :lol:

Maybe a self-portrait? Self-portraits are really good to start when playing with a new medium.

That's a good idea! :)
I might try realistic, buuuut... I kinda-sorta-really suck at realistic XD So I might try cartoon or anime self-portrait :)

A link to a gel pen drawing of mine; practicing drawing a woman in a dress. It's unfinished.

I really like your drawing style, with more practice I think you will be an amazing artist. Right now some of these lines are a little shaky but with practice things will smooth out. :3
