Riku at Dusk

Description

Ok...so this is so completely unlike anything I've done before that had I not been there when I did it, I would straight up accuse me of stealing someone else's art...

This is demi-fanart for a story of mine...and really just practice at digital painting. the process: 1)Scan in sketch 2)make a layer for color under the original lines 3)rough in colors 4)begin shading and whatnot 5)as shading progresses begin erasing the original lines 6)put your artistic OCD to work. Several hours later, this is what you get. I'll post the original sketch in my scraps for comparison, but dude...My hand hurts but I'm super happy right now.

Secret love of this: I apparently learned to make clouds in PS somewhere along the line...:D

Riku belongs to not me...the painting is all me.

awesome. He looks... sad. His eyes hold a whole lot of emotion and he just looks so longing and sad. Maybe i'm just overthinking but that's what the art makes me think off. Very beautifully drawn and very good details. The background is really good too and it adds to the whole picture. But his eyes are what draw the most attention, very great work. What story is this from?
