When it comes to anime and manga, few series are as well known as Attack on Titan. The story made its debut back in 2009 before Wit Studio gave it an acclaimed anime adaptation in 2013. Creator Hajime Isayama has been a steadfast rock with the story as he stares down gory scenes with a deft pen. Still, there are times when the artist doesn't fill up to snuff, and Isayama shared such a moment with fans not too long ago.

In the past, Isayama held a signing event for fans in Tochigi, and the artist felt he didn't represent his art well at the meet-and-greet. The creator signed about 100 autographs during the ordeal, and he tried to let is go. However, some of Isayama's remarks about the event have now started to make their way around the Internet.

At the time, Isayama said he was very nervous about the event and did not feel confident in his skills. The artist could only offer deformed caricatures of Attack on Titan's leads, and he straight-up refused to do any inkings of Eren. Isayama took to his blog to lament about the event as it upset him. The artist apologized to fans for his poor showing, and Isayama recalled how much self-doubt he carried at that time.

Still, the creator stressed he was grateful for the event overall. The opportunity allowed him to meet with fans, and Isayama said his throat rather than his hands hurt by the signing's end. By the end, the artist wound up drawing 70 takes on Levi and even a handful of Titans.

You can check out some of the drawings which Isayama drew in the gallery below!

Eren Jaeger swore to wipe out every last Titan, but in a battle for his life he wound up becoming the thing he hates most. With his new powers, he fights for humanity's freedom facing the monsters that threaten his home. After a bittersweet victory against the Female Titan, Eren finds no time to rest—a horde of Titans is approaching Wall Rose and the battle for humanity continues!

If you are not familiar with Attack on Titan, then you should know the popular anime is renowned for its intense action and gritty story lines. The anime follows a boy named Eren Yeager in an alternate world overrun by massive creatures known as Titans.

These mindless beasts have all but wiped out humanity, and mankind is left to cower in fear behind massive walls. When their sanctum is infiltrated by a slew of Titans, Eren and his friends Armin and Mikasa join the military to help eradicate the blood-thirty monsters. But, as they grow older, they learn that the beasts are not what they appear as long-held government conspiracies make themselves known.
