I'm going to be busy this weekend and I hope to get back into working out next week (be a good knee *pat pat*). So I probably won't touch this for a little while.. in any case, I could use the break, because this drawing is driving me crazy.
I want to get into a more realistic style, but it's too hard T_T Wayyy too much effort T_T This will probably be redone loads before I "finish" it. I've already redone the eyes about 4 times, the ear twice (and a few more times to come because I just can't figure ears out haha), the lips twice, the nose three times, etc. I need to reshape the face a bit and add highlights to the hair. Then more shadows... etc, etc. Then, you know, finish the picture. Was thinking of here as I sketched. Hand/hat referenced visually, rest, not so much. Hence the spikier hair.. because I was just having a good ol' time drawing too much hair. Oops. Feel free to throw out advice. I'm really not sure if I like this or not yet. I'm just angry with it. And it creeps me out. The cat moved my mouse last night and I woke up to glaring light and that face *shudder* Sorry Naoto.. another picture not doing you justice OTL Naoto | Persona 4 | Atlus | Blah I need to get ready for my doctor's appointment.. ick. |

I can see what you mean about being a little creepy though, wouldn't want to wake up to that sight.
I assume there's certainly some trouble in translating an "anime style" drawing into a more realistic version. For instance, how did you decide on what type of nose to give him? He has a generic "gonna stab you" pointy nose in the reference picture you linked to, which makes the one you chose look rather large in comparison when it really isn't.
If I had to say anything about it, it would be the hair between the eyes. It just looks odd being there so long without any hair around it. Its like the guy has a reverse pony tail.
All in all its good. Keep up the motivation.
