Artist's Comments

Yup, so here is a Ashi's commission.

She wanted Zexion at a quarter turn reading a book with glasses.

Every single ref of him is like at a quarter turn looking to his right. I was thinking "I'LL BE ORIGINAL AND HAVE HIM LOOK TO HIS LEFT!!!!"

...then I realized if I drew him to the left...he'd be nothing but a giant clump of hair... XDDDDD

The colors are prettier in real life...my scanner royally screws up all... TT_TT

critique me please <3

Copic multiliners and copic sketch (and a bit of gelly pen but I don't think that counts XD) on printer paper

Lol.. deathnote... I think you did wonderfully dear! I'm glad you were able to follow specifications.. though I did want a full body, I don't think I mentioned it lol.. anyway, colors are nice on his hair and his face is perdyfull...

Only think I would say is work on his hands. He kinda looks like he isn't holding the book, like it's only brushing against his fingertips.

Looks nice, babe! ;D On what Shannon says, just bend those fingers at their kunckles to make it look like he's holding the book. That's also something I still struggle with, so either it's not easy, or I'm stupid. Both are highly plausible 8| But you can do it!

I like the shading on the hair, but it's more of that vertical highlighting again. Just be sure to curve it AROUND his head, not UP AND OVER it. They're be a little bit more highlights on the right side than the left because of how your light source is working out.

Right now I see you're coloring the hair as if they were solid, flat pieces. If this was intentional I wouldn't fight you on it, but I can tell it's not. For all those "chopped bits" of hair that you have, it's a separate texture/layer/piece. So color it as such. For example, those lower left pieces of hair... ...oh god, it's so hard to explain this without actually pointing it out. But make each "hunk" of hair that you outlined separately with your pen its own separate plane. Color it separately. And the lowermost piece of hair wouldn't be all light on top, either. It'd be dark from the shadows of the greater mass of hair on top of it.

Hair is a tricky thing, but you're still doing pretty well. Like I said, the shading is pretty good, just gotta get those "planes" down so you can hop out of 2D!

A note for coloring black spaces! They don't always scan perfectly black as much as we artists would love it to do just that. Be sure to color each stroke in the same direction, just so the different shapes don't distract the eye. But that is perfectly acceptable in abstract art! >D

Mmhmm, I think I get what you're saying with the hair. Now that I look at it, I can see that I am coloring it all together instead of individual strands.... I'll work at that XD

and the black made me sad. the deathnote is not supposed to be abstract! DX

Heh. The Death Note and Zexion go together like peanut butter and jelly... strangely enough.

I never played Chain of Memories, but I can never actually remember Zexion actually having more than one expression. xDDD

The hair turned out very nicely and the eye's gorgeous! If that blue is like this on the computer screen, I can't imagine what it's like in real life!
