Birthday man!!!

Seeing as Aizawa has been my favorite anime character of all time for YEARS (ever since I was in my teens watching MHA) I decided to draw him on his birthday. I'm trying to make it a yearly tradition but yk

My artstyle is more cartoonish than anime so it doesn't do him justice

When I first drew the pose I was in the hospital referencing UnknownSpy (they printed some pose references from various artists similar to my art style) so that I could get the pose right. I'm better at drawing from reference than from my head! Anyways that meant I have a bunch of drawings in my sketchbook from the hospital with poses referenced from other artists. And I decided to make it into a digital version for bases for myself to use seeing as I drew them myself, in my sketchbook without tracing.

And I don't think people can "own" poses otherwise most poses would be taken by now, making art impossible without "stealing" a pose. It's super common to reference artists with similar artstyles to get a pose right, as long as you don't trace cus then it's stealing and honestly doesn't help you learn (unless you're still learning hand-eye coordination and using a base you paid for or that was f2u)
