I did originally have this uploaded as a sketch, but I realised it was probably a little too complete to qualify as such.

Anyway, this is just a little something I have been working on. My first submission to DA. It is my vision of Samuel Vimes from Terry Pratchett's Discworld series. This, of course, would be from around the era of Guards! Guards! since ol' Vimes is sitting in an Ankh-Morpork gutter with his good friend Mr. Drink. I tried drawing him with sandals first, but realised boots were far easier. I want to improve it somewhere along the line and I've no idea what I could do. I'll be quite frank - I'm rather terrible at drawing and this is all just done in good fun during my spare time. I do want to learn new things, however, in order to foster whatever artistic side might be lurking beneath my surface. Should I attempt further shading? Colouring-in with Photoshop? Really, I've no idea. I also have a feeling that one of those eyes is squiff...

PS - Bonus points to anyone who guesses my real-life inspiration for Vimes' facial features. The title is a clue. Also, before anyone harps on at me, I have always pictured Vimes looking a little older than most fan depictions.
