Bye bye yesterday [2017] WIP

My lineart of my entry for the contest. Just gotta color it now!

Spoilers.. kinda? If you don't know Nagisa's story don't read on.

Set the scene:

The fireworks boom above of them as everyone yells "Happy New Year!". Nagisa, without hesitation, rips his knife just above his long ponytail. It hurts more than you would expect to do it with a knife, but he doesn't even wince. It is nothing like when his mother would grab his hair and throw him around. He tosses his blue locks into the sky as the fireworks reach their finally. Karma sits not far from him and smirks. He's proud of him. He knew it was a long time coming and now his friend can start a new beginning. It had been months since graduation, but the class gathered once more to send off the craziest year they had lived.. Bye bye yesterday, hello 2018.

Here is a pic of my hand on it for size reference. I don't have a small hand.

I used Sakura Pigma pens to ink. 0.4, 0.6, and 1.0 mm

The size is somewhere around 14 in × 9 in or so. It is on a page that is 17 in × 14 in Strathmore Sketch paper (60 lb)

Aaand the original sketch!

And no, I am still not satified with the ponytail. Stand by for ponytail 3.0!

Edit: Thanks so much for the feature! Wow! I just- wow!

Edit edit: oooor not? Haha I look crazyyyy now! It was there, I swear it!
