AJ the Numbskull (process from render to sketch + 2021 AJ on insta)
One of my very first ocs + one of the first I draw digitally and I never thought to redraw them until now Went back to my early « crazy eyes » era for the occasion, that’s how dear to me Aj is
Some Story : Nearly all of my early ocs have the title “Numbskull”, it’s a word I used to identify with strongly as I often felt dumber than the person next to me, especially in school. So I draw a little army of cool numbskulls that reflected my wishes, my interests and my shortcomings ! Ultimately, it helped me stop degrading myself just because I didn’t get math or chemistry or this and that. I also think it made me completely apathetic to mockery and unhelpful commentary on my intelligence.
