Rating: PG
Disclaimer: Death Note is owned by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata. No profit is made from this illustratory practice.
Medium: Graphite H and 3B on mircoperforated sketch paper for dry media, 4"x4". Scanned into Photoshop and OpenCanvas for further illustration.
Product & Process:
The smaller image below is what the sketch looked like prior to OpenCanvas and Photoshop (full size here). This rather represents the difficulty I have with illustrating hair. Additionally, my attempt at Matt doesn't very much look like Matt without his goggles. He looks like Light, in fact. Disgruntling, despite this being one of my first drawings of Matt. Glad I took an extra two hours erasing and redrawing in OpenCanvas though to add the goggles in, even if there's still much to be improved upon! But perhaps in another sketch. Thanks for viewing! Leave a comment if you'll please.
Additional Files: Process files in Opencanvas available on request. It is an OE4 file, which requires the latest OpenCanvas (4E) by PortalGraphics to open. It plays an animation of the progressive brushstrokes I've used so that you get a sense of how I draw (gosh, and what I erase).
Usage: If you want to archive any of my artwork publically, or edit it for an icon or layout, please ask first.
