GECKO!

GECKO! YAMORI! GAKO! These are three names for my new character,

Gako Daniels. He's the main character in a book I'm writing.

He leaves his home in a rowboat at fourteen to fight monsters and

find treasure and the like. It's really fun to write, because he's such a character

that when i write about him i can hear his accent in my head! And it's funny! Here's one of my favorite lines:

"I wear a sandal on one foot and a sneaker on the other

cause' of the little devil what lives in my stove. he steals my shoes,

but only one of each pair. a real nuisance, that devil."

Ha! The devil's name is Stewart. He's been living in Gecko's house

ever since before his parent's time, and he's one of my favorite parts of the book.

Unfortunately, you don't see much of him. Only in one part of the book

i haven't written yet. Sad. anyway, I even drew a picture of Gecko,

which you can see to the upper left.

It includes his flag, (If he were a pirate) and a drawing of Stewart. (The devil in the stove)

In my opinion, it's the best picture I've ever drawn, because;

A) I have only ever drawn boys badly, and just their heads.

B) I really like the way i drew his hair.

C) It's my first time drawing a bare foot. Well, he's wearing a sandal, but still.

D) His clothes are a bit more complicated then i usually draw, and i'm proud that it came out so well. cargo shorts and a (Red) vest without anything underneath was a challenge to draw!
E) i managed to blush his cheeks without it coming out all weird.

If you look really hard, you'll see.

F) I drew his mouth in an open smile! i've never drawn them that well before.

See? i didn't even know there were so many reasons until i wrote them down!

Notice i even wrote his name in Japanese. See? To the left of his head?

Isn't it awesome? It is! Yay! Well, bye for now. :-D
