Dare to try

I'm sometimes afraid to try new stuff, mostly because of the fear to fail! It's really silly, I know.. You have to learn from your mistakes, and it takes a few bad ones to make a good one!! Or something like that..~
Well, for a looong time I have thought to myself that I'm no good at drawing realistic and therefore not even tried to do it. But for a while now I have been following Bokkei and been amazed by her fantastic portraits! So I have now finally decided to try and make some of my own~ What you see below is my first so far, may not be anything to brag about, but I hope that I'll continue trying and develop this "skill".
