Week 28 Closed Eyes, Smiling

Week 28 of the

Omy gosh! I actually drew something and used my Copics...which I found I need to refill a few of my markers. Ugh. So broke right now.

Anyway, this is my OC, Ryu, I've only ever drawn sketches of him. He's a detective in my manga, which I actually have a draft of the first chapter. I wanted to practice this downward angle- think of the guy you like, isn't he cute when he looks down and laughs/smiles? Well this is what I'm thinking as I drew this pose. I want your heart to go "doki doki"

So, I worked on the shading, angle, hair strand detail, blending of colors for hair and skin, the folds in the clothes without using a liner for them. His hair is also in a different style than most of my male characters. I purposely left the background blank because of the specific details of the character I was working on. I thought of applying screentone, but don't think it'd work. What color are his eyes, you wonder? Guess........
