One of my favorite characters of all time, from one of my favorite series of all time.
Toph from Avatar the Last Airbender, is a strong willed earth bender with a lot of guts, and a thoughtful side beneath her seemingly rigid exterior. I fell in love with this character, because despite the cards she was dealt, she made a name for herself and worked with what she had. She exceeds everyone's expectations, being a force to be reckoned with while also being able to demonstrate patience and execute with courage. Even so, she has her moments of stubbornness, but is eventually willing to try and understand when there is disagreements with her friends. She is also hilariously sarcastic. A very lovable character.
Characters like these don't happen often, so I have been wanting to draw her for a while. There is a larger version that I was having trouble with but hope to revisit, or I'll probably do a better picture of her in the future. I am also thinking of doing more Avatar characters because I love the series.
