new drawing from me :D and yes, from loveless again !

i wasn't sure to submit this first. i tried to look from the policy if there is something making this not allowed, but i couldn't find anything so i submitted this. my deepest apologize if this isn't allowed to submit !

this picture of ritsuka is in the opening of the anime and in the beginning of the first episode in anime. i looked the opening over and over again trying to sketch ritsuka's pose at the same time. i can tell it wasn't easy ! oh and ritsuka is boy !

i wanted to try something new again with the colouring and here is the result ^_^ i coloured ritsuka with pastel colours. it sure was hard because even tiny touch to coloured part makes colours spread ! i made this many times from the beginning just because i made mistakes and the colouring was spread >_< making the skin was quite easy but the hair was killing me ! huge thankies for EternalBlue who supported me to try again ! orange background colour is made with water colours because the pastel colours are my mom and there isn't orange colour in them. also used brown colour pencil to make his eyes and mouth clean. wanted to try make warm and calm atmosphere so that is the reason fro quite brownish/orangish colours, hope it doesn't look bad ^_^'

hope my first try of using pastel colours looks okay and there isn't too huge contrast.

please enjoy and comments are most appreciated (favs too) !

    Mmm that's amazing, you did a wonderful job on the hair ^^. See, I was sure you could do it if you kept trying ^_^ Hehe I can almost feel what he's thinking, even though I've never seen the anime xD

    Beautiful! You're really good at this, despite the way you describe the process (it sounds...painstaking XD") Thank you, and great job on the effort! I thought it was an official art scan from the thumbnail.

    OOooo, pastels... *twitches* I hate working with pastels. The fact you do it so well makes me happy. A sweet little pic (tho I'm no loveless fan)

    the light outlines r a good change for once , zefie . I wuuubb it very much . it makes the whole piccy look soft and gentle to the eyes , not to mention very peaceful . thats a good thing since sleeping ritsuka is supposed to be very peaceful and u potrayed the peacefulness really well . :P ( am I making any sense ? lol) the posture looks really good and also ritsuka's expression . I always find it really really hard to draw peoples face when they're asleep .. mine always turn up as if they're frowning :P rofl .

    pastel colours do the piccy good . a very good job on this zef-chan . and u made a great decission by using brown and orange tonnes ~ looks really calm <333

    It's Seimei not Ritsuka ^^ Awesome job, however. I love the colors, great work!

    My gosh, I'm speechless. This looks really fantastic especially the colouring. Superb use of pastel colouring! Awesome shading and the tones are really nicely done. The hair looks just fine. The thing that caught my attention was the outline of the eyes and facial features. I don't know why but it stands out really beautifully. Awesome work! Keep it up!
