I've been exercising for the past 3 months now by doing a brisk walk around a nearby park in my area (pretty big park...). Also slowly picking up basketball back lately since the pandemic for leisure after the jog (and no, I cannot ball. I'm just below average). My hair is a bit botched too (to be honest, I really want it short, so hairstyle really did not bother me much). So.... yeah... Gonna keep up the workout... And thats how I ended up drawing this guy...

Ah, Slam Dunk. Probably one of the most popular sports manga. Although it's a really old series (1990). I gotta say, I'm not into the basketball scene, but Slam Dunk really is the series that got me interested in the sport for some time. And since this manga did peaked the interest of more Japanese boys to try basketball speaks volumes of the impact of this manga.

Anyways, stay safe and have a good day.
