EDIT: New ref sheet!
[link] Yay! I'm pretty sure this is Benjamin's official look now. I tweaked his hairstyle and face shape, so... yeah. I'm planning on making one of these for Sara and Saul, as well.

By the way, what is the story about? I really want to know what happened.

It's about a 15-year-old girl living in Nazi Germany. The year's 1944, and her middle-class life on the outskirts of Cologne, filled with carefree swims in the Rhein river and lazy days under the sycamore tree with her best friend, Saul, is sent spinning out of control when 15-year-old Jew, Benjamin Jastrow, takes refuge in her family's attic. They eventually fall in love with each other, and have to endure the hardships of Ghettos and concentration camps after Benjamin is discovered.

Dude, after seeing your drawing, I just can't wait to see the movie... your characters are just so alive and full of personality. The drawings might as well make everyone love studying history.

Is he based off of anyone? 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hmm... that's a good question. All of my characters have a little bit of my friends in them, but no, Benjamin isn't based off of one person; if he was, I would have married that person a very long time ago.

Aw. You can see a subtle sadness in his eyes. I love the warm colors in this. Benji looks adorable. Bless him.

Thanks! And that's what I was going for, since when she first meets him, Sara describes him as, "His soft-featured face was pensive and unobtrusive, his brows creased and his head was hung in shame. I could see that he was scared, even though his great, mournful eyes were eclipsed in shadow from the rim of his cap. They darted from side to side as he trembled like a strand of wheat in the wind."
