Death Note - L

_{First of all: I drew this for the ones who supported me no matter what happened. Thank you SO very much. I truly love you all.}



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.

About Death Note

I don't know a whole lot about Death Note, except from reading *SilentReapers 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 I know.


---------------------------------

About the drawing...

The whole picture in general wasn't hard to draw, but... argh... that damn sleeve! It was driving me nutty, I tell ya!!! St00pid folds!!! D:<

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. No further comments on that.


---------------------------------


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.
