Is that how they drink coffe in Brazil?  ;oD

I like Brazillian coffee :)
My sister brought us some Cafe Atibaiense from Sao Paulo when she went there
with my brother, who is married to a Brazillian girl called Alexandra (but
apparently you have to pronounce it Aleshandra)

Still a ways from being done, but what the heck, I'll show y'all up with 
my going-on-2-year WIP magnum opus (or at least the most ambitious 
drawing I've ever done).  Now with smaller nipples 'cuz everyone was 
saying they were too big.  NWS.

I remember chewing a sugar cane when I was a little boy. We only have cane
sugar here in South Africa. I think they have beet sugar mostly in the
northern hemisphere. And if I am not mistaken beet sugar is not as sweet as
cane sugar.

At drafting I always figured out the difficult parts that were supposed to
catch you out - it the proccess sometimes making silly mistakes on the basic
stuff...  :-P

My art teacher in school forced me to do lots of faces. The result: I find
doing faces boring, but I'm very good at it - especially getting a good
resemblance.

Heh, 10 minutes with the tablet, and I came up with this lame excuse of 
a character .. Hmmm, modeled after the Simpsons characters, I think.

My "Inking" isn't all that great, there's probably a ton wrong with it. 
Please, no critique, my sensitive ego couldn't stand up to it.

I looked at the picture before I read your text and though I saw Fry.

ASCII, but it's the closest look of Fry with quickGoogle)

Yep, that's very true.

I never took an art class that focused on that - the last one I did take, 
I think, was in 7th grade.
