And now for something completely different.....

15"x9", graphite pencil on paper
~22 hours of work
Uruhara from Bleach anime and manga
Reference: one head shot from the anime, and anatomical reference books

I made some changes to the drawing so Uruhara wouldn't look so emaciated and plastic, and re-uploaded it. I know the anatomy still has issues, so if anyone better with human anatomy than myself feels like redlining this and bouncing me a copy, I would be greatful.

This is an early birthday present for my best friend. Uruhara is her favorite character from the Bleach anime, and so she requested a fan pic of him. I was originally thinking about drawing him in the Captain's robes, but then she jokingly told me she wanted a yaoi drawing.

When I was sketching this picture, I had originally intended to draw him with his outercoat over his shoulders and no shirt, but after drawing in the figure I decided he didn't need anything on his top. When drawing something with clothes on, I always draw in the form of the person first so that I can get the clothes to hang in the right places.

Since this is fanart and I won't be selling prints at any time, I have uploaded a 600dpi version. That way you can make your own prints at home if you want to. There are a lot of details that cannot be seen on the reduced image, like his stubble and a faint, blond happy trail.

If you repost this image, PLEASE give me credit and a link back here. Have some courtesy and decency about it.
