Before anyone calls me out for my bad grammar in the title , it's a continuation of the title from my last piece. It's from the Mika Song 'My Interpretation' So together, the title from my last piece and this piece form the line 'This is my interpretation and it don't make sense', which is obviously...a line from the song ...Now that I've wasted thirty seconds of your life, time to move on!

Here is the redrawn version of the drawing I posted yesterday . Again, still not perfect, still not particularly similar to my original reference, but I would say it's an improvement! I only drew this a week or so after I drew the original, so I think that's quite a lot of improvement in a week! I think the first version still looks quite fantasy like, as the eyes and the face are a lot larger as they would be in my regular style . I feel like I was able to stay a little more faithful to the original source with this one!

Anyway, it's supposed to be Kurda Smahlt, from the Saga of Darren Shan, as I was recently reading them again! I was wondering what he might look like in 'real life', as I've only ever been able to draw characters from books in a cartoon style, I thought it would be fun to try something different, so took to Pinterest for a reference to work from! This was really fun! Especially redrawing it . Anyway, I'll post my original drawing and the reference below!
