Description 8D So.. you guys this is how it's looking like so far!! I am incredibly pleased as to how it's looking as of now because I didn't think I'd be able to pull it off... As I've mentioned before Sephiroth is one of my favourite characters and it just makes me nervous every time I want to draw him (fangirl feelings getting in the way...). But yeah, I think you guys get the point.


Anyway! I was contemplating on whether I should be adding a background or not (the background would obviously be his wing and such). Although it will be difficult, I will attempt to draw the background as  Sephiroth without his wing is not a complete.... Sephiroth. I'm sorry if I don't make any sense omg. If you are wondering about the reference used, this is what I used . I would say shading his hair was the best part of this drawing, it was really fun and I liked the experience. However his armor.. DX I need to work on shading metal-textured clothing!


This was the previous work in progress if you wish to see it~


I drew this portrait with some of my regular Staedtler pencils and some new handy pencils - Derwent ones and they are well worth it! 
The pencils I've used range from 2H - 4B. c:


I'd say that this portrait looks a lot more better in person rather than on a screen but.. :c This is all I can offer currently. 

Thank you all for your continued support.  


Sephiroth belongs to Square Enix!

Favourites and comments are appreciated.

Wow, I remember back when we were both doing Manga figures. (Or do I recall that wrong?) You got your new account now right? You have improved so much, it's stunning. Keep drawing I'll be watching from the sidelines

Seriously though thank you so much, it means a lot coming from you. ;u; I tried my best with his eyes, I tried my best so that I could give them a "feeling" - usually the menacing ones he carries around. So that means a lot, thank you!!!

SugarContent In reply to artxnoa [2013-12-12 14:31:40 +0000 UTC]

Exactly! And that "feeling" really shows in your drawing!
I just still can't believe it's a WIP because aKSJdvskajfvh it's amazing already!

Amazing! I'm still wondering, how do you get his hair so detailed?

artxnoa In reply to Catstudio7 [2013-12-03 21:14:02 +0000 UTC]

Awh thank you! Honestly, I just started out with a very light pencil, then began drawing how I wanted the hair to flow and such, then I began adding highlights/shades/tones to the hair. That's all~!

Catstudio7 In reply to artxnoa [2013-12-04 20:02:09 +0000 UTC]

Ah  now I understand.  

I always find it difficult to guess where to add the highlights/shades/tones

It's all about where the light bounces onto the hair. ouo
