Hello good day/eve ladies and gents! Since Primo's birthday ia coming up! (Happy Birthday in advance :heart: ), I decide to draw Giotto in an attempt of doing the manga style, yes an attempt! I missed outlining and coloring. This would be my first art post for year 2020.

Process:

I created a V-shaped form with a small adjustment between. This will be his face. Then atleast between on each diagonal line, I made a line to form his neck. I estimate the neck size to not make him 'unproportional'.

I drew the nose as the guide on finishing his face. As usual, it's really difficult to balance the eyes. It shouldn't be slant and this requires concentration as I tend to shake when I drew his right eye. Then on his clothes, his collar would be messy and has a loose necktie.

Note: He is facing with his body angled a bit to the left thus making his right shoulder broader than the other side. I sketch some crease by following Akira-sensei's fold sketches.

Favorite part

As usual I like the outlining phase as I can add and do pressures to make the piece looked detailed. I tend not to use only one line weight as it will look flat. I like doing details/shadings on the hair part. Seeing that he is spikey, I made sure his spikes are accompanied with the shadings. This make his hair look more detailed than usual.

I put different weights on each line. My favorite part here was the outlining of the main lines as I shade some certain areas, giving the hint that its creased. Then, I do some light to moderate shading on the inside crease.

This is an experimental phase. I picked up risky colors as I am not knowledgeable with skin tones and their combinations. So i picked up most of the lighter skin tones and try them on a different paper. Seeing my pre-coloring shiet, I then tried and felt satisfied. Then with color pencils, I color his eyes with shades of red and orange then grey for the outer.

I first used the promarker yellow for the orange effect then the pilot yellow for a lighter orange effect and I proceed with the two yellow tones in colour pencil. It looks brighter and I felt guilty a bit.

On his cloth area, I just used some shades of grey and top them a little bit. Then paint his necktie black with shades of grey for highlights.

Affix signature and we're done!!!
