Yall's drawings made me remember this😭

These are probably still my best drawings ever ngl😭😭, been searching around the house for like an hour and couldn't find the one I kept then I remembered the photos were in my ipad cuz that's the only device I had back then. I did them when I was 12 because my best friend who lived in my urbanization was moving and I knew he loved anime and especially izuku (i think that was his name i haven't watched mha), so I thought it would be a good idea to draw these although I just followed a tutorial for the most part I have always sucked at art💔. I first did the one with the brown shading but thought it looked bad so I did the other one and he ended up prefering the original lol😭. It's been quite some time since I've been to his house but at least the last time I went there he still had it on a frame in his room and I'd never considered how much that meant for me, but it does😭. We went to the same school so him moving didn't matter much but now that I'm studying in a different place it's been over a year since I've seen him, we were really tight but now we ain't💔 and all of it cuz my grades were good so i decided to do ib which is js hell🥀🥀. Man it brings back so many memories, at that time I didn't really like anime and look at me now, I'd never thought it would be something I'd love so much in the future. Did I have potential?🥹✌️
