Description
A request from guy-monkey and some wish fulfillment here.Β I have no martial arts skills to speak of but it would be awesome if I did! So here you go: me (or someone that vaguely looks like me because I stink at drawing myself) doing a karate kick.Related content

Wow. Great action shot! The details are great even in a simple figure pose. The flowing hair, the folds in the clothes, the belt flowing with the jump, and even the shading on the clothes and everything. The colors are also warm and inviting, almost playful, like a children's book illustration.

Action shots are actually pretty fun (though I always need reference)!Β I'm glad it turned out playful looking, because that's how I meant it.

The playfulness is part of what it makes it fun. That it's not serious action. Honestly, I find it refreshing that you're grimacing and trying to look tough or anything.

Wish fulfillment! You wish you could do some of this stuff for real?
This looks awesome! You look pretty happy too, like you're having fun practicing, not seriously fighting.

I used to have friends that took Tiquando in high school and I always vaguely wished I did that too. I did try a semester of ROTC in college though, and that was fun (though really hard).Β
