Description
Woop! Finally got this up, I did it ages ago but, dammit, A2 paper is so difficult to photograph well. Moar Light, he's so fun to draw, I can't help it!The hair could have really gone better, but I love photoshop for contributing that spotlight background effect, I never draw backgrounds so it helps a lot!
Pencil and sharpie on A2 size paper.

Wow, this is awesome. The hair especially is rather spiffing.

Haha, cheers. I'm glad that you like the hair, because I wasn't completely convinced that I'd done it as well as possible afterwards, but it's good to know that it stands out

Aw, thanks a lot ^^ You should give it a go, it's actually a really fun way of drawing because you can really bring out the contrast, especially with manga stuff.

Thanks! With stuff like this I do the basic outline in pencil first, then go over it with marker, then do all of the shading and stuff later, it's far easier than just using pen straight away ^^
