Description A drawing of L from Death Note, this time in a more realistic style. This was a real departure from my usual style, so it was a real learning process for me.

Since coming to Japan, I really haven't had as much time to draw as I used to, but after seeing the new Death Note movie L: Change the World, I was inspired. I think L bears a closer resemblance to Matsuyama Kenichi than any of my past drawings.

Comments very much appreciated, as always ^_^ I'm always a little unsure when I deviate from what I'm used to drawing. Please let me know if you like it!

I love the skin - the lighting and shadows are excellent! Personally, I can't do skintones at all
Nice folds on the shirt too. Also, I agree - he definitely looks very much like Matsuyama-sama in this one!
Haha..Matsuyama-sama..IM'A CALL HIM YAMASAMA.

Haha, Yamasama. That's perfect ^_^

I'm so glad you like the picture. I find skintones really hard as well. They are so easy to mess up, aren't they? Anyhoo, thanks so much for commenting!

An awsome work. I love it
I've been totaly enthusiastic about your coloration. How did you do it, digital (which program), traditional (which colors)??? I'm so curious

Laurama In reply to Luluriel [2008-03-28 00:14:15 +0000 UTC]

Glad to hear you like it so much ^_^

I used Photoshop CS. First I sketched the picture in pencil and then scanned it into Photoshop, cleaned up the line art a bit and coloured it using a lot of layers with a wacom tablet. It was a long process, but fun

Oh, I like it so much^^ You're good at realism. He sure looks a bit more delicate than Matsuyama and has bigger eyes but it's good, more... L . And also the sketchy frame is really beautiful

Thank you so much. I was really afraid that the frame didn't suit it, so I appreciate the feedback very much ^_^ I'm happy you like the picture!

Trying new styles is always difficult but you don't learn unless you try. I think you did a great job!

It's so true, you don't learn anything if you keep to what you know and nothing else. Thank you so much!
