I like to draw/sketch with a pencil to pass the time. I'm not bad but I'm not great - I'm a musician by craft. Smile

Here are some super old sketches from my DeviantArt days:

Wow, Meesh! I hope you still do draw because it would be a shame to lose that talent. Music is also a great talent, though. All I have is my writing ability which I'm happy with, but I wish I could express my creativity in more ways.

Meesh I added you on DeviantArt! Wink

Career has been crazy but it is about to slow down for a little bit so I am determined to get some more Genie work done, haha. My career is very important to me but can be stressful, and I enjoy drawing this particular fan art so much. It makes me so, so happy and I can't really explain why. I know part of it is the lack of pressure when I draw it, because it's just for me (and the people who enjoy it at well) and because I can't use it for portfolio pieces or connected to my career in an way, and that is strangely refreshing, haha.

So I really love it when I find other people who get excited about it too, no matter their drawing or writing level. ^^ I'm such a dork about all of it and still often feel embarrassed but I'm coming to accept it, haha. I know many people IRL, but few of them know about my crazy little obsession. I have a little hidden room in my house (more of a cubby hole, really) that I am turning into a little smoking lounge
where you sit on pillows and such, and most if not all of my Genie stuff goes in there. These are just my plush, and I have no intention of stopping, haha

I'm incredibly thankful for my drawing ability but it wouldn't be much if there weren't other people to share it with who enjoy it. Im hoping that happens a little bit here! Genie is a loved character but isn't particularly popular in the whole "fandom" sense. A lot of people tell me he's very hard to draw so that usually holds people back. He can be difficult and I enjoy the challenge of staying on model, it's a great drawing exercise in general but also makes it that much more convincing ^^

I want to draw other Aladdin characters too! I'll set up a poll when I upload my work again.

Thanks for reading my ramblings, haha. I'll post elsewhere next time ^^

I need to be in that room. Now. :0

Seriously, that's awesome. I completely support you in this obsession. Also, you really are an amazing artist. Please post more Genie art and whatever else!

I do draw! I haven't drawn Aladdin and company in years, though. I should give it a go.

And man, I think I have all those Genies except the one on the far left Laughing
