DAY 2!
Looks kinda familiar right? Like a certain brave kid who rides around on a horse in search of shiny gold triangles to gain power to save a princess?
Kinda like this kid right?

I dedicate day 2 to where it all began, which would be "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time".
Some people may not know this but Cloe was created(in a very fangirl esque manner...) as a character in the Zelda universe. I know right..BUT WAIT! IT GETS BETTER. Not only was she this "original" character, she was also...drumroll please...THE DAUGHTER OF LINK AND ZELDA!
Somehow at the time, when I was near the end of 7th grade I believe, it was a brilliant, and I mean BRILLIANT idea that I came up with at 10-12pm at night. In that moment I felt GENIUS. Little did I know I was actually just doing what everyone else was who had a favorite videogame or anime was.
So what I did when I first came up with the idea is I drew Cloe in Link's clothing. I also drew her in Zeldas, and even a Deku scrub and a Zorro's. I don't remember drawing her as a goron though...hmmm..
One of the biggest things that I did when drawing Cloe a lot was I made her head too big XD. When it came to free handing I was pretty decent, since I spent days just tracing then free-handing drawings from those "how to draw animal" books and so forth, but when it came to making it up, I just didn't know how.
I always loved drawing but Cloe was what made me really love drawing, creating characters and story. The concept that I could make up whatever I wanted was amazing. Sure a lot of it was silly and didn't make sense in the beginning, but it didn't change the fact that I had found something I was truly passionate about.
