Description Nooope, I'm not dead!
Sry, that I let you wait, but I'm just....


in serious need...



... OF MOTIVATION!! T______T;;;


I'm such a lazy person~~~



Anyways, that's Leader-sama! 8D Aka. GazettE's drummer, Kai!
Lately, I've been wanting to draw something using normal pencils only, so that's why I chose a pic, that's not so colorful~ I actually wanted to draw Kai in his current (Before I Decay) style, because I RLLY LOVE his long dreads and his half-shaved head to death! 8D (Honestly, I never thought I'd call Kai "hot" someday. >D)

But this pic is one of my favorites of him, so... I guess it won. XD


That's it! Gimme motivation nao, PLEASE! ;__;

Thank you very much! :3

For the lighter parts I usually use a B pencil (HB or 2B), however I don't press a lot on the paper. Then I use a tissue (or a thin brush, depending on the section that I'm drawing) to blend the pencil stains. :] And yes, if it's has gotten darker than I wanted it, then I do use the kneaded eraser, but in general it's better if you're careful from the beginning~ ;]

Instead of B pencils, you can also use H ones (I sometimes use the 3H one) because their lead is hard and their color is not very dark. However, they're hard to blend on the paper, so I would recommend them only for small sections.

Hope this helped :3

WOW, amazing drawing (I've seen the finished piece too, but this already shows how good the drawing is going to be ), how do you use the grid? I'm an artist myself but I never used it (I usually just take a pic and I draw what I see with very little measurements), how big do you draw the squares (in cm)? I'm just curious

Question: Do you do that graphing thing for the whole picture and all of the details, or just parts of the picture, or just for general lines and stuff?

nightfalldream In reply to vTwitchy [2010-01-23 02:48:39 +0000 UTC]

What do you mean with "graphing thing"? The grid?

If that's what you mean, I use a grid to draw the whole basic sketch. It also helps me locate the details correctly later on~

vTwitchy In reply to nightfalldream [2010-01-23 03:03:24 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, that's what I was talking about. I couldn't think of the right word - apparently I will never become a thesaurus.

I see. Cool. I try to do that most of the time - it usually ends up looking better if I do. The problem with it is that (I dunno how you do it, but) it takes a long time.

nightfalldream In reply to vTwitchy [2010-01-24 11:51:41 +0000 UTC]

Haha, I wouldn't know this word if I wasn't into art either, so don't worry. XDDD

Yeah, the grid method takes usually quite some time. But it pays off in the end. ;D

Lovely~

nightfalldream In reply to TKalternaLiFe [2009-12-01 01:34:48 +0000 UTC]

Hmm... But the fact that I'll have him for one week ONLY is not very motivating. ;_;

So, this means...
I'm sorry, but I'll have to keep him at least until I finish Kai which is equals... forever. XDDD;;

Thankies! <3~~

So you're saying you'll never finish? Oh noes!!! Look at all those good people you'll disappoint. D:

What's more important, Aoi or the hopes and expectations of all those people?

Haha, stupid question--the answer's obvious... XD

.....You'll tear them all apart!!! D: "BLACK HEARTED" >w<
