Description
First of all: I drew this for the ones who supported me no matter what happened. Thank you SO very much.It is finally done:
Character L, also known as the detective candy addict from the manga series Death Note.
This guy got most of the votes of my poll 'What shall I draw next [...]?'
which is weird because I mainly draw game fanart (or better said: 'Square Enix' fanart) aside from the usual drawings.
---------------------------------
I don't know a whole lot about Death Note, except from reading *SilentReaper s comics, and from all the other fanarts I've seen before. And the movie of course, of which I took the reference from.
I know there are characters called L, Light, Mello, Near and Kira, and a crazy big guy with the name Ryuk.
But that's it really. Shame on me
---------------------------------
The whole picture in general wasn't hard to draw, but... argh... that damn sleeve!
The hair was made up, since the reference image wasn't clear at all, so I drew it the way as I thought it would look nice without making it too fake or realistic.
As for the background...
Believe it or not, but that's entirely done with a 0.5mm HB mechanical pencil.
---------------------------------
Stuff I used:
- 4H, 2H, H mechanical pencils for the skintones
- HB, B, 2B mech pencils for the shading
- 4H, 2H, H, HB, B mech pencils for the clothes
- HB for background KRGGGRRAAA
- pencil eraser
- tortillion, blending stick & tissues for blending
- Hahnemühle Nostalgie 190 g/m² • 90 lbs sketchbook paper
Time spent: 2 days / approx 18 hours
Videos of how I drew this will be up soon.
----------------
...JULY 15TH 2010 EDIT...

Your absent knowledge of the character really comes through, just kinda looks like a Japanese actor in a pose. But it's amazingly well done all the same. You are incredibly technically skilled!

I saw the movie with English Subtitles, and I have to say that the guy who portrayed L in the movie great. I couldn't even understand anything he said, but I could still tell he did the character flawlessly. Well, except for when he shouted BAM! BAM! BAM BAM BAM!
