Description

Commission from NYCC 2015; Copic marker, ink, white paint pen, charcoal pencil.

This was a whole lot of fun. I really enjoy taking the Naruto cast and drawing them slightly more realistically; if I had free reign on this I probably would have modified his design a bit more, just in some small ways, to emphasize his character. I always saw Jiraiya as a sort of wandering vagabond/hobo guru. Like a homeless street-person version of Yoda. He's scruffy and skeezy and maybe a little creepy, until you get to know him and find out his genius and his heart. 

Anyway, the commissioner of the piece was thinking of completing the three Sannin, and I really really hope I get to tackle Tsunade and Orochimaru in this same style. :D

Wow! All your art's amazing!

How do you use the charcoal in your art? Do you blend it in, or make the lines darker? Maybe I'm ignorant, but I haven't heard of using it with copics before. Though I assume it goes on after the markers, right?
