Redrawing your old art is fun, since you get to see your character drawn in a slightly newer style. I came across my file which had only one drawing in it, and that happened to be my personification of the Maneki Neko {Picture 1/ cover} the cat that has one paw raised and it bounces back and forth.
{Picture 2 & 3}
I looked in my books for reference photos so I would know how to design her.

I wanted to draw on paper first, to use as a draft, but the anatomy didn't work out so I gave up on that one.
{Picture 5}
After that,I used my new sketch book I bought for RM6.80 at Mr DIY. I've seen my friends use it before and I like the quality of the paper because when you draw on it, the lines are rough and dark, not like when you draw on A4 Printing Paper, where the lines are lighter and seem to be too smooth(??)
{Picture 6}
I drew Maneki-chan with a 0.7 mechanical pencil first. to detect anatomy errors, I put the page in front of the light (the blank side facing me), before inking it {Picture 7}
{Picture 8}
The inked result. I won't be colouring it because me lazy ¯_(ツ)_/¯
