magic tricks

Underestimate not the time it takes to colour pictures.

Even if it's just monochrome =0=;;;;;;

So anyway, after I scanned this picture, I have firmly packed away my artbook(s) and I shall endeavour to not touch them again until 29th November! *Clenches fist*

( Character I enjoy drawing the most )

In an attempt to "study" for anatomy, I shall talk about the picture with anatomy jargon =D

It was not my intention that his cranium seems slightly smaller than his hands, but as he has flexed his cervical spine it gives the unfortunate illusion of him having a smaller...cranium.

I think his sternal notch looks delicious. I'm sorry, I just had to put that phrase in, because it's about the only part of neck anatomy that I know, apart from those yummy sternocleidomastoids (do not attempt this word after drinking).

His shirt is actually unfastened under the bow/tie. Okay...let me just say this before weird ideas start popping up, the intention wasn't "sexy", it was just meant to be "unkempt" or "insouciant".

Continuing on~ the cloak is made of fairly thick material, so it gives the impression that he has bigger deltoids than he actually does. The shirt is 3-quarter length, so his cubital fossa is around the place where the sleeve gets boofy. He has a prominent second (first?) metacarpal-phalangeal joint on his left hand, and a lovely first interosseus.

Umm....He has very bright irises? Orz
