This creature has green moss growing out of its back and stick-like antlers extruding out of its head to improve its camouflage in the woods. Not only is my imaginary friend cute and cuddly but it is also agile and stealthy. The shiny scales that cover the lower half of its body provide protection to the creature. Overall, this imaginary friend is amazing in every way.

As a child, I'd read Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet and a brooding, Goth like Juliet became my imaginary friend. She would sit on a swing and be my muse.

My friend says "how can I help" so I can ask him to do things like make a sandwich. He sometimes helps me get my thoughts out. If I need to write an assignment, and can't think of anything to write, he makes suggestions. If my hand hurts, he will write what I tell him to. I feel lucky to have him by my side.

I found a picture of me as a kid talking to my hand. I had forgotten my hand had a voice and a personality. Maybe there were several imaginary friends that inhabited my hands at one point, in this picture I'm trying to give them some fur and feathers. I wish I remembered their names.

This is my Imaginary Friend, Eumelia, from when I was six to roughly ten. I used to go outside into the lagoon shaped pool behind my house and swim in the crystal clear water everyday on summer breaks. I would submerge myself beneath the chlorine tinted ripples and imagine the ocean filled with sapphire colors and creatures that could live and breathe in a world of jewel toned colors. They would sing songs beneath the waves and I would join in, listening to an underwater chorus of ethereal voices that only I could hear.

I doodled this with my new bought ipad pro and use Procreare and Graphic.Probably It’s my first iPad pro drawing :-D This creature is the guardian of the magical cards, named Cerberus, from a Japenese comic called CARDCAPTOR SAKURA, Cerberus acts as a guide and also a best friend of a ten-year old girl:Sakura. The comic was first published on 1996, and became popular to girls at this ages all over Asia. Almost every girl secretly hopes to have a magical guardian beast like Cerber, just like the Harry Potter‘s owl Hedwig, or the Black cat Luna in the "Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon". I draw this because after 22 years the animation create a new story line and the heroine Sakura only grew up two years, while we girls begin to face the childhood of our next generation.

"TWINS" My older brothers were in college or the militaary, the twins were six years younger than me. I was a "middle child" in the truest sense of the word. So my imaginary freind was a twin brother. We'd draw, read comics, play outside, go to the beach and watch TV together. My older brothers have passed away, the twins have families of their own, I sometimes wish my imaginary twin was STILL with me. . .

My imaginary friend was Max, whom I would describe now as a giant carnivorous Phoenix Pigeon! He has shiny silver feathers (I would always color him with a silver prismacolor instead of grey) except for the inside of his wings which are rainbow. He also had a wife named Julie and 3 rainbow kids.

This imaginary creature is one I plucked and drew straight from my head. He is a large wolf-life beast who is a strong, protective, happy-go-lucky and loyal companion. In My daydreams I can either take the form of this species and take to the skies (female version), or other dreams I climb upon him and together we soar the world on wonderful adventures. Drawn purely in byro and fineliner.
