Art Little oekaki of mine

[Vertigo]

I don't usually do oekaki(I'm much more of a pencil and school notebool person), but I've been doing a lot of eyes lately, and this piece just sort of jumped out of me. It's really not that great, but I like it, especially since I usually suck at oekaki
I call it Dame.

What is oekaki exactly?

Well, it's kind of hard to explain because he used it in the wrong context here.

But generally it is used on websites that allow users to submit art to the website. The pictures they submit are called "oekaki". You often see "oekaki keijiban", which is a message board for users to post their works. Here's how the word breaks down -

kaku - to draw
kaki - the noun version of it
e - picture

The "o" is the reason he used the word incorrectly. It is "oekaki" as opposed to "ekaki" because it is reffering to someone else's work. It's called the "honorific o", because it sorts of makes the word honorable. And you wouldn't ever use this with yourself, that wouldn't be very humble.

*looks slightly annoyed* Well, excuse my Japanese, because, as has become obvious, I don't actually have any lessons in it.
-_- And I made this thread for the picture to be critized, not my use of japanese...

My mistake. I apologize.

He was just explaining something to me; I don't think he was trying to make fun of you.

The eyes looks a bit wierd, since the pupil is so itty bitty and stuff, and I don't think the hair texture matched with the skin. Nice job on the effects, though.

I like the shading on the hair. In simpler words, oekaki is an applet which people can draw on. PM me if you want some oekaki sites. Heh, I like drawing on oekaki, though I'm crap.
