Description
Kurama from Yu Yu Hakusho. Yay!

You'll have to excuse the title; I could think of nothing better.

So, this is part of a series I inadvertently ended up making; it wasn't planned:
Hiei: [link]
Kuwabara: [link]
Yusuke: [link]

I knew I wanted to draw Kurama, but didn't have specific motifs I wanted to work with like Hiei. Hiei had the Jagan and Hiruseki stones I wanted to illustrated; I decided to add the rose vine (with no rose blossom however) at the last moment.

***TECHNIQUE***
This is watercolor paper. I started out with a light sketch and purposely kept everything rough. Everything on here is a combo of Prismacolor chalk pastels, watercolor, Prismacolor watercolor pencils, and Crayola color pencils.

I wanted a pretty Kurama, but pretty darn close to what he actually looks like (in otherwords, he's a bishounen, but I didn't want to ultra-bishounen-fy him in some shoujo style). This isn't exactly what I wanted, and is a bit more of my own style than I want, but I find it at least somewhat satisifactory.
