Description
Since the other drawing I'm working on is taking forever (drawing rooms with wallpaper is a bad idea), I did another portrait in between just for the thrill of finishing something.I may still go back and rework stuff later . . . I think his hair could use some help still. And I think I made the shoulders a lot wider than they should be.

Sakurai Atsushi, vocalist of the band Buck-Tick.
Mechanical pencil, various no. 2 pencils, 6B pencil, and 8B graphite.
Mostly done over the past 3 days, but I have no idea how many hours . . . I should start timing myself better XD.

Wooowww... theyre getting to look soooo realistic. I'll have to teach me sometime.
For some reason, I feel like your drawing's face looks a little wider. I cant pick up why though

^_^ thank you.
I got that feeling too, but I couldn't figure out what to do with it . . . maybe I didn't properly translate the proportion of width to height from the reference to the size of paper I was using? I'm not quite sure :/

Lovely! But maybe you can make the eye still a little bigger? The rest is perfect!

^_^ I'm glad you like it. I'll have a look at the eye again- there are definitely some parts I should touch up
Thanks!
