Description
First of all: I drew this for the ones who supported me no matter what happened. Thank you SO very much.It is finally done:
Character L, also known as the detective candy addict from the manga series Death Note.
This guy got most of the votes of my poll 'What shall I draw next [...]?'
which is weird because I mainly draw game fanart (or better said: 'Square Enix' fanart) aside from the usual drawings.
---------------------------------
I don't know a whole lot about Death Note, except from reading *SilentReaper s comics, and from all the other fanarts I've seen before. And the movie of course, of which I took the reference from.
I know there are characters called L, Light, Mello, Near and Kira, and a crazy big guy with the name Ryuk.
But that's it really. Shame on me
---------------------------------
The whole picture in general wasn't hard to draw, but... argh... that damn sleeve!
The hair was made up, since the reference image wasn't clear at all, so I drew it the way as I thought it would look nice without making it too fake or realistic.
As for the background...
Believe it or not, but that's entirely done with a 0.5mm HB mechanical pencil.
---------------------------------
Stuff I used:
- 4H, 2H, H mechanical pencils for the skintones
- HB, B, 2B mech pencils for the shading
- 4H, 2H, H, HB, B mech pencils for the clothes
- HB for background KRGGGRRAAA
- pencil eraser
- tortillion, blending stick & tissues for blending
- Hahnemühle Nostalgie 190 g/m² • 90 lbs sketchbook paper
Time spent: 2 days / approx 18 hours
Videos of how I drew this will be up soon.
----------------
...JULY 15TH 2010 EDIT...
Finally covered this scan with a watermark.
Always use protection, people
Also: *GASP* 2nd drawing of mine with over 10,000 faves?! That's friggin' insane, crazy people! 8D <3 GROUP HUG!

OMG, it's wonderful! The shading...*swoons*
And thank you for adding the materials and where you used them. I try to draw realism too (Focus on *try*) and I'm sure it will be a big help when trying to shade.

Very nice drawing you captured his character quite well. Death note is actually a very good anime and not nearly as confusing as some people stated here if you just watch the episodes in order :S

well compared to my other drawings this one was quite easy it didn't require as much effort as usual because the shading and angle was quite simple
Thank you!!!

LOL please don't kill/hurt yourself!
I just had a lot of time to practice. Others may find it very easy to draw manga for instance. I don't

...you're right. but that's because they prctice loads. i'm not very good at it, but that's because i only started drawing manga consistantly around last year. you are very good at shading and you have very good preportion and your artwork is amazing! i think i'd have to start practicing too!!!

I saw the third DN movie and it made me want to draw L. XD The one I'm doing is a frontal pose of the one you drew, and I hate hate HATE the highlights on his hand! >.< I did them correctly based on the picture, but they're just so harsh looking....I'll fill in some of the area around his hand before I pass final judgement on it, but I still don't care for them.
