Description I usually do one serious graphite drawing each year.
Last year I forgot about it and this year... well... it hasn't been the best, art wise :/
But then yesterday - when I was supposed to sleep, naturally - I decided to make one. Because I really miss graphite and fear that I'm losing my touch with it...

So, since I'm pretty darn nostalgic at the moment, I just had to draw Zeithan. My first character ever and my all time favourite
I spent the entire day ignoring my real lesson in order to finish this

I am quite pleased with this anyway, since it's much better than the last graphite portrait I drew of Zeithan
So enjoy!


... white hair is a pain in the ass =___=

He looks peaceful here, almost smiling, and I like that.

For being a pain, his hair is great, the white streak perhaps even better than the black parts.

But what I like the most here are that clear, vivid eyes.

That doesn't happen very often... that's he's peaceful, I mean. He grins a lot but rarely smiles and remains calm.

You see more detail in the white part if nothing else

Thank you
I'm very fond of his eyes too. They've always been pretty important to me after all, considering their habit of changing colour and all that

What a compelling portrait, beautiful shading work with a clever way you conveyed the hood.

Welcome. It's so nice to see some realistic OCs, and you've obviously got skill. Did you use a ref?

Nope. This is all from my head
I suck at using references :/ (not as in I can't use them but I'm too lazy to do it )

As usual; LIPS
I also really like the shading on the white part of the hair. It looks very thick and shiny and all those things perfect people in shampoo commercials have Damn such a pretty boy~

Lienwyn In reply to Kladdpapper [2011-11-29 08:37:31 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, lips I like those

I hate shading white hair! >_<
But it went pretty okay this time, even if it was a pain x'D
And you know that he's not really a pretty boy

Greatest backside of it being that you had the urges to do it in the middle of the night >< The drawing in itself is gorgeous it's nice to see Zeithan again ^^

I like to see the evolution on his jaw line, on this pic and the sketch you showed me. It looks closer and closer to my mind's eye view of him, while still beeing quite cartoony.'

And it's nice to see you fall into the negative space trap too, even if it's just for one picture

Lienwyn In reply to Verdokai [2011-11-26 15:39:07 +0000 UTC]

I'm getting there
Zeithan is ridiculously difficult to draw really, and I've had him for so long that I almost forget how he's supposed to look :/
... even if that shouldn't make any sense

I'm a good girl!
Most of the times at least
