Hiya,
I have been trying to do a anime drawing, but seem to be failing. I'm legally blind, you see, and drawing has never been my strong point and my Nystagmus is a bit**.

Anyway, I need a anime drawing of an albino (uh, yeah, the albino is requesting a drawing of an albino), its for a presentation and I don't want to use photos (because they just need to look at me!) but I want something to make the presentation colourful.

So yeah, please help me!

Oh and our eyes are not red! They are blue with a reddish tinge (aka violet, or at least in my case). And remember, all albinos are visually impaired, that means glasses! (or contacts I suppose)

Thx in advance!
And yes, I know its a reasonably odd request.

p.s. If you do not know what albinism is, then here we go:
Albinism is a genetic condition (that makes two, my parents must be thrilled, autism and albinism in the same family!) that causes the lack of tyronaise (do not quote my spelling) and in turn melain (which tyronaise plays a part in producing). This causes pale skin, no colour in the hair, and a lack of pigment in the eyes.
However, in humans, it is impossible to have a complete absence of pigment in the eyes (except when we are very young) thus nearly all albinos have bluish eyes, but because of the lack of pigment, you can see the blood vessels (the reddish tinge).
This causes abnormal growth of the eye, which can lead to blindness but it is more common for visual impairment unless in bright countries like Africa.

There we go, a short introduction, and yes, there is more.

And thx again in advance for the anime drawing.

I have been doing anime-style drawings for 9 years, and I think albino people are beautiful. I would love to make a drawing for you. :)
