Description It seems like I am addicted to one-word-title nowadays (it started because of my fanfictions). Well, I really have no idea on how to name this one... Making me headache thinking of a title, and in the end, I just named it 'Alone' without giving much thought. After all, I think the art itself is more important than its title.

Maybe some people will be disappointed that it's non-colored, but for once, I'd love to try to challenge myself to do a black-and-white art with the combination of pen and pencil. It seems like I had yet to try this combination. So this is my first time huh...

Mechanical pencils are my best friend for so many years... I always draw with them. Pencil art gives me the 'smooth' feeling, while pen art gives me a solid impression. One day it crossed my mind 'What'll happen if solid and smooth are in one piece of art?' And then, this is the result.

In this art, I tried to tackle my weaknesses in:
~Body proportion
~Pose
~Background
~Creativity

I guess I didn't make a great job... since my sister and brother-in-law said 'It looks stiff'. *sighs* Though, I admit I am quite satisfied with the outcome. Nyu~ I did spend hours to finish this. However, I didn't deny the fact there are flaws in it.

Wow, I didn't realize I ranted that long. Sorry for the boring talk.

Media: Mechanical pencil for shading, and gel pens for correcting and inking. Edited with Image Ready for its contrast.

well there are somethings that are odd like the legs length difference, but it seemd not stiff to me =o maybe because he looks like hes posing, and it feels stiff? maybe if you have a moment in time? as if he was thinking about something, or looking away =o then maybe that could help, good luck with college and all your hard work rei-chan!

Black and white drawings are so neat, especially shaded like that o_o and the background is really fantastic! It's so detailed and symmetrical, and it works perfectly with how detailed his outfit is. I like how serious he looks...
