Have you ever fallen asleep in class like that - with your hand holding your head up so you still look sort of awake? I know I have. Many, many times.

Silly random little sketch off the top of my head and at the last minute (I was supposed to be sleeping...) This would take place before they're a couple (before they're even really friends, actually.) Kage can be such a surly little punk, I thought it would be amusing if he fell asleep in class like that... (D'aw, he looks so innocent when he's sleeping! )

And yah, I've noticed Kage's hand isn't proportionate, but I can't fix it now that I've sprayed fixative on the sketch. Oh well...

Edit: scan replaced.

Materials/Tools: 2B mechanical pencil, kneaded eraser, sketchbook paper, Photoshop 7 (cheap-ass colorization)

I did actually saw from the beginning (before I read the artist's comments) that this picture may be from a time before they got to know each others. Kage's face is somehow different ... And Torin looks like he already fell in love with Kage~

This is so heart-warming~

And I think the hand look just fine

Thank you.
My methods aren't really anything special, but I'll give it some thought.

I wish I could sleep like this. My arm ends up relaxing and I snap awake.

It's a delicate balance, a skill refined through many hours of trial, error, and practice. [Nods sagely]

...Jeesh, I was such a slacker in high school...

I love making silly little sketches with two of my certain characters as well.
I always feel guilty because I feel like I should be drawing something... more. XD
But I have a binder full of it. I need to get like a box for it. 0.0

This picture is really freakin' cute, I like how soft the sketch looks, and the little story behind it. Kage and Torin... ;A; I love them, especially them together.

Ah, I know! I feel like I should be drawing something more profound than all this silly stuff, but... alas. Oh well, I have fun, anyways...

(I have boxes and bags of collected stupid drawings at home myself, so don't feel bad!)

And as always, thank you for the kind commentary! Also, the fact that my boys are growing on someone else means a lot to me, truly.

Yeah, I feel that way too, but nothing serious is coming out. But having fun is important as well.

XD, I feel better. I felt like I was wasting trees.

You're welcome, oh yes, I fell in love with them because I could relate so much. I have characters like these that I really love as well. I'm glad you're happy about that. ^o^

Ah, well... There's Picasso and there's Miyazaki Hayao, and there's Charles Schultz... and then there's everyone in between. Whatever floats your boat, right?

The trees have already been wasted. Might as well prevent it from being in vain.

Oh spiff! Much fun. :3

Ah, well, that's actually quite inspiring to hear... well, see. XD Only because I see so many people harping on anime/manga artists.
That's why I'd rather develop a more orig. style.(Which I think you have, a very nice style.) But yes, indeed, whatever floats your boat. ^o^

Ahahaha, that's true. ^^

In a small way, I agree with some of the harping. A lot of it seems to be elitist-minded BS, but when two hundred people draw the same InuYasha screencap and go "OMG I R KREATIVE!", that gets a bit annoying... Some original thought is always nice...

And thanks again!

Yes, I agree with that.

Ahaha, you're welcome again. ^^
