Weeeeee~! It's a double New Year gifts! 
[Douceur de Vivre], which is a French phrase, meaning 'Sweetness of Life'. And
sweetness includes the romance which enriches your love: a pen, a rose...&
music. Oh, not to forget, you'll find sweetness in ice cream too 
.
So, that's how sweetness makes one joyful 
.
Special features: The Rose pen >>
Communication through words on paper. From words, they are conveyed into songs;
one of the perfect air of romance (Note: the ramen at the end of of 'Tamaki'
name is his favourite meal 
Not to forget, all stuffs here portrays Tamaki's characteristics.
Materials used: 2B pencil, 6b graphite pencil, A4 artblock paper, black pen size 0.2, tissue, cotton bud (for shading in narrow areas), & eraser.
Time consumed: 4 days & 5 hours per day ( due to printing errors in its machine, I've to constantly refer to the images through computer screen.
Problems encountered: For this time, I
would like to try out using outline pen in attempt for clearer lines, just like
those in manga. However, due to miscalculation in proportions, one of Tamaki's
shoulder looks 'shrink' . And because the original image is simplified, I've to do some researches in
order to understand the3 shades and style of Tamaki image.

Another lovely doujin kokuyu! I love the overall composition of the work. The rose pen, the stars as music notes, etc. And, as always, nice job on the shading. That said there are a couple of things that could use some work. His eyes seems somewhat undefined-- at least his pupils. Secondly his hair seems a little uneven... I think it may be a tad too poufy on the top and left side. But regardless, it's a nice, well-thought out piece! (And I love the lettering that you used to write Tamaki's name!) Keep up the great work!
Its really nice! The shadings look awesomeeee
D The
background effects are really cool too! The lettering looks printed! I love the
shadings on the shirt! I'm adding this to my faves!
