Love the watercolor pencils on the hair! Makes it look really smooth and blended well. Though, in contrast with the standard shading on the shirt, it makes the shirt look a bit more grainy that it probably is.

I'm back after a long time :D! Now, I'm here to merge two of my favorite fetish: bishounen and metal xD. I
finished Uta no Prince-sama like a month ago and I fell in love with Ren Jinguji <3. However, since I'm not a
real j-pop fan, I just felt that his personality and presence would fit as a metalhead too... so, here he is! If you
have seen some of my previous work, you'll know that I suck with digital tools, so I incline myself for taditional
art. What did I do here? I got the idea out of this pic:

and started to work it out. I did the basic lines first and I gave Ren a looong hair (oh dear... <3), a little bit
more of muscle (personally, I don't like the skinny type) and the traditional metalhead upper outfit: the black
shirt and the black leather bands (<3). I scanned it, had it cleaned and printed. Then, I applied the color with my
classic Faber-Castell watercolor pencils (the hair alone took like 6 different colors!) and scanned it again, just to
enhance color, contrast and another final clean up. I know it looks a little rustic, but I like it ^_^. Hope you guys
like it too!

Yay! You know what's the secret? Well, it's about to be not a secret, but whatever... xD I used the white pencil to smooth the colors, so I got a very creamy texture (it is useful after all xDDD). I didn't do it with the shirt... I thought it would have ended a little messy, so I didn't take the risk. Thus, the paper trace left the grainy effect which you mention u.u I know it doesn't look tooootally fine, but it doesn't look that bad either, right?
