*deep breath* Okay. I'm going to try to sound as chill as possible writing this because something about Akaashi cranks up my adrenaline.This was from a combination of needing to draw a bust for commission examples and having a desire to draw Akaashi in general. I've been reading through the Haikyuu manga lately so I have a lot of inspiration to do things with those characters. I'm gonna try to do the other examples with characters from other series but my current plan is to make them all with Haikyuu characters.
Yes that's right, I'm finally getting around to pricing my commissions and making proper examples! But it might be some time before I actually open them, there's still much more for me to do.

The colours you've chosen to shade his face are beautiful and contour his features well. I appreciate the simple shading and highlights of his hair, it makes it look like he has thick, fluffy locks. TAUT ROUND BUTTOCKS!? The fade from a lighter colour at the bottom of the image, transitioning to a darker colour near Akaashi's face brings more attention to the focal point and also adds a simple shading illusion. The eyes are fantastic, how you've added some sweet reflective light on the eyeball and a complimentary blue on the eyelashes. It really shows off his eyes. You did a careful job there... I also like the subtle details in Akaashi's eyebrows, eyelashes, and ear. You're really working those individual hairs, lashes, and folds. The shading you've chosen for Akaashi's skin in relation to his hair and sweater brings out his face. How his skin is shaded with more contrast, whereas his hair and sweater is shaded with less, it adds a smoothness and a seemingly effortless path to his face. You really know how to set up focal points!
I have a small critique about the background. Because the topmost green stripe is so low from the top of the image, and because it's so close to where Akaashi's figure ends, it pushes down on the character and adds too much tension toward the top of the image.
I can't stop admiring this piece... The colours and execution of the shading and the specific colours you've used in general are mesmerising and so calming...

Ahh thank you!! I really like Akaashi...
DANG I see what you mean with the green stripe. I'll try to be more careful of how I do my simple backgrounds in the future. Thank you for bringing that to my attention.
