I'm extremely fond of this picture. It was one of those occasions when I put my head down and just drew without stopping, became happy with the result, so coloured it on the computer and this was the outcome. Haven't done that in too long...no time.
It's an anime character from my dad's collection of Italian comics. As my dad's an animator (well, technically retired, but the old boy keeps on truckin' with work) he receives a lot of magazines through the post regarding animation, many of which he usually passes my way if he thinks I'll be interested in the content.
I saw this picture and admired the simplicity of it, so thought I'd try my hand at it. and this was the result.
The face is a little funky, but then with Anime, the easier it looks to draw, the harder it is. There are a few mistakes here and there, but apart from that, I feel it came out well enough to be liked. It's as close to the reference as I could get it.
