This is my entry for Arujan's contest. The theme of the first round is Countries.
I chose Greece because it's the country I live in.
As soon as I saw the theme of the first round I immediately thought of Hetalia x3
Sooo why not?
Greece from Hetalia represents the typical Greek person ;p
I have some notes on the sketch below, but I'm gonna explain them more later on.
(I'm really sorry for the bad quality of the picture and the 5yearold letters, but I was writing this in like 3 in the moring and I was tired >.<)

Le Sketch
EXPLANATION:
A typical Greek person usually has green eyes and brown hair.
The fluffy thing on his head is supposed to be a kitty x3 Greek people are always surrounded by cats, as they are pretty much everywhere in Greece. They don't mind though, because they are huge cat lovers.
As you can see, his skin color isn't completely pale. He is a bit sunburned, as it is always warm and sunny in Greece.
He is always wearing a cross necklace, just as most Greek people do. The majority of Greeks are Christian Orthodox and are very religious.
Greece is primarily a mountainous country with more than 300 larger or smaller mountains, so he is also wearing hiking boots.
Furthermore, he is wearing his jacket over his shoulders. Now you don't see people on the streets who wear their jackets like that, but it is very common for people who are more traditional or who live in villages. I never understood the reason behind this. Not sure if it is for fashion or because they are not too hot or too cold to actually wear or not wear their jacket. x3
Lastly, the thing he is holding is supposed to be an olive branch. Olive branches shaped like a crown were given to the winners of the Olympics in the ancient times and the Olympic Games were first created in ancient Greece.
Sorry if the description came out very long and.. idk a bit cheesy? I was just trying to be as creative as I can ;A;
