this is what fail looks like up close >,<

ahehe, this is supposed to be Shou for i drew him in his ruri no ame outfit, just like you requested!! i'm sorry it's so bad!! *o*

*sigh* i think the thing that is the most painful to me is that i really tried on this, really i did! i forget who gave me what advice, but i used mechanical pencil in the hair, bought and used those smudge stick thingies, and tried to "exaggerate" the details, like making the face darker and stuff...i did all of this and it still looks like i didn't do anything different.

here is the reference pic i used: [link]

oh, and before anyone mentions it, yes, i do know that i did not draw the infamous "exposed nipple" haha, i have my reasons for not drawing Shou's nipple

oh crap, and i just realized i forgot to sign my own drawing too >,< oh well, don't think it really matters, i have an ugly signature anyways...

-EDIT-
i fooled around with the scanner and where i had pressed hard, it was making those areas appear as highlights, which made the left sleeve look really weird so i just cropped the pic a bit...still kind of mad i have to cut that out but whatever T_T when i get a new digital camera, i'll take a pic of the whole thing! ^^
