Description Yet another Killua Zoldyck art. ♥

Let me just say that I was supposed to draw Mito (Gon's aunt), and had already started drawing her and even finished (though I haven't outlined and shaded it yet), but then I changed my mind cause she looks so plain and even her pose and expression are boring (I mean, my drawing, not the actual character). So I erased the entire rough draft and worked my next art at the back of the paper. I wanted something more interesting and a bit more complex (cause my laziness is showing up quite obviously in my choice of art lately). ><

That's when this undeniably cool and cute kid (OMG did I just say that?!) named Killua popped into my blank mind and I started drawing him. I love his pose (and I want to draw more complicated poses so I could practice) and expression. As always, I hate drawing his hair (I would say the same with Machi and Gon). I started drawing the rough shapes first, then proceeded with finalizing the details and such of his face and head. Apparently, I made his face look bigger than expected cause I was trying to accommodate his large cat-like eyes so I made his body a bit larger. I didn't have problems drawing the hands (Thank goodness). ^^

After finishing the entire Killua (This one was pretty easy than I expected and I finished him in such a short time), I thought the art was a bit boring, so I decided to add the backdrop. Seriously, it's my first time to do such thing so my apologies if it looks bad. I'm already bad with shading and such and the work looked messier than usual (because of the additional background).

I'm really upset with my shading skills so far. I find it really hard to make my shading lighter/darker (mostly because I only use one type of pencil - Mongol #2). I was actually considering of using colored pencils instead but I'd bear with traditional pencils for the moment. ^^

Anyway, Butako really loved this Killua art (Yeah, he's her favorite character), and I'm more than glad that she liked it a lot cause I had placed a LOT of effort on this one (As you can see, I WAS being lazy with my drawings recently). She even said that this is the best one I've done so far (Or maybe she's just really biased?). Overall, I'm pleased with this one and I've started to like Killua more. ^^

Whew. Looks like I've written more than I was supposed to. Will upload another one tomorrow. Guess who? ^^

I also sometimes have problems with dificult angles and body proportions, I am also practicing on my drawings different angles and shadowing. Nice work.

Yup, that is my reference for this one though I changed Kil's expression to make him a bit cuter. You have a sharp memory! ^^

Thank you~ I love drawing Kil cause he's a challenge for me and I simply love his poses! He looks sooo cool. ^^

Another virtual hug~ ♥

His family calls him like that. I think it's cute too, and I soon got used to calling him that ever since I started drawing him. ^^

Hunter is also one of my favorite animes back when I was in grade school. Ah, memories~ ^^
