Description
Some Fanart of Ryuk eating one of his beloved apples
a gift for a friend who asked for something like this. This was done without a specific reference image, although I looked through my mangas for some pictures of Ryuk's face and made it up from there, he has such an awkward anatomy "orz
Stuff used:
A5 Hanemühle 190 g/m2 paper.
Pencils and mechanical pencils from 8B to 2H if I remember correctly. Tortillions, Tissues, kneaded and regular eraser Five or six Faber-Castell colour pencils. Time: about 10 to 15 hours. Iced Tea 
(can't live without that stuff xD)Thoughtful critique is very welcomed!
Take care everyone!
(Ryuk belongs to Takeshi Obata/ Tsugumi Ohba)

Oh Stella, das ist toll *_*
Das Auge hat iwie die Farbe des Apfels, ist das Absicht? Aufjedenfall ist es genial 
Die Schattierung ist die wiedermal super gelungen, allerdings finde ich, dass der Apfel und der Augapfel zwar 3D schattiert sind, aber trotzdem iwie abgeschnitten wirken.
Hier find ich übrigens, dass das farbige Auge passt, bei den Wise Guys war das ja nicht so mein Fall, aber das hier ... top

Dankeschön!
Nee, keine Absicht - das Auge eines Shinigami sieht so aus, jedenfalls auf das Cover des Manga xD (Große, farbige Augen die hervorstehen sehen auf ein ansonsten schwarzweißem Bild besser aus als kleine, farbige Augen; das finde ich auch 
Beim Apfel muss ich dir Recht geben - ich finde auch, es sieht so aus, als ob es nicht ganz zum Bild gehört, sich nicht gut im Hintergrund einfügt. Naja, da ist eh nix mehr zu machen jetzt ^^ Danke für die Kritik

I love all the textural details. It shows you put a lot of work into this. And that you are really good at differentiating textures. The strands around his neck with the light and dark are really good. And that shiny apple!
The composition is ok... but I feel a bit like it's cut off. Like if you were going to do part of his face maybe some more or even less might 'feel' more composed. It's hard to explain. For some reason Ryuk's face looks a bit lumpy... I'm not sure if that's the style of your drawing or it needed to be smoothed out a bit.
I love the little bit of color on the eye. It truly stands out and makes you pay attention! On the whole it's a really great drawing that shows off how talented you are with a pencil.

Wow, thanks a lot for your critique
Yeah, you may be right about the composition (maybe show a little more on the left would work better); I still have to work on that - it's the first time I try without reference and I'm not sure what works together^^ Thanks for pointing it out.
About his face - I think Ryuks face is meant to be that way, not smooth but with wrinkles (are you meaning that? If not, I've misunderstood you^^). Yeah, it's a bit weird xD
Take care!

Hey, composition is tough. I think you're trying new things and that's the best way to find what works for you.
I think you might be right about Ryuk's face... I don't remember off the top of my head. But I think he looked a bit lumpy in your pic which was a little distracting for me. But the important thing is if he looks the way you want him to, then that's what he's supposed to look like! No problems!
Good luck!
