[Daily Doodle] Auron from Final Fantasy X

[justira]

@ff_press: [FFX] justira: Auron portrait doodle (Auron) (G)

Daily Doodle: Hey guys! Did you know drawing Auron is hard? Especially when you can't cover 3/4 of his face with his glasses or... collar-thing?? Yeah! Who knew! I tried a semi-realism experiment today, even going so far as to start from a grey background and work in both directions, using white and black! Wow! I am so not proud of this! But that's just too bad, I have to post it anyway! =D
I just could not get his face/jaw shape right. Ugh. Well! Basically I am displeased with this and won't complain more, as I would never stop. >(
Time: 40 mins! Went over again trying vainly to fix this! Grrrrrr...

Thanks! I actually loooovvvve working in charcoal. I actually did a Lulu drawing (http://justira.deviantart.com/art/FFX-Lulu-in-Charcoal-Gift-Art-36064300) just like this except really in charcoal -- grey paper, black charcoal, and a little white pastel for highlights. I had great fun!

I've been feeling better about this doodle as the day's gone on -- I was pretty damn grumpy this morning, sorry >.>
