Reference used - not sure how it looks on non-HD screens since pictures always look so different for me depending on which screen is used 0.o This is Aiba Hiroki, painted in Paint Tool Sai.

It looks like someone I know! D: But seriously, it looks really good, I love the shading on the cheeks, although I'd say that the way the hair sort of fades into the background makes it seem a bit hazy if you stare at it too long.

Ahahah, thanks guys. I'm interested in how it looks on a normal screen so I might see if I can find my HDMI cable and use the screen we have xP.
I enjoyed doing this one so I might do some more realism reference based stuff =D

^ AGREEEE skin shading is excellent! I really like that picture for some reason, it's kinda dark and mysterious.

Heheh wish I'd done the hair a little darker xP. Yeah skin is fun to shade...when it isn't fustrating. Well here is my first FAIL.

Ah I like! .. um. Question... He has no nipples? o-o Anyway :L I still love the skin shading its probably my favourite bit! You've got it down so perfectly that its like <333! Have you done a bit over his jaw though? There seems to be a lighter shade and I cant tell if you've gone over or if its part of his jaw.. It looks a bit odd but its so tiny tbh I doubt many people will notice. I think the only way you could possibly improve is maybe tiny anatomy details (his belly button seems low? and his hips/bum looks a tad too wide for his body) And just details like on the rips in his trousers I think.. The skin and jeans seem to blend too smoothly (maybe its just me but whatever..) On the top left side one where there seems to be a small darker colour (either dark blue or black) on the top parts of the edges, it looks better. I dont think you applied that to the other tops of the edges on the others though so they dont look as right.. And wouldn't they be a bit ragged? Crumpled? Blah I dunno. :L Theyre the only ways you could improve. Maybe his nose could be improved slightly shape-wise if I'm being REALLY picky but noses are annoying because you can do a uniform one that you can apply to every character you ever draw that looks right... Or you can do button noses, or bumpy noses, and they differ and make the character look change.. So really the nose would be super picky so just ignore it But once again I adore your shading so much! <3 (ohandthoseABSicantforgettheabs! )

OMG thanks so much for the detailed comments! I see what you mean about the jaw, and the trousers xD. I've got it saved in a sai file so I might see if I can improve on some of the stuff you've mentioned ^^. I'll leave the hips how they are because changing it would be like "arrrggh" but I agree, they are slightly too wide for him. More like a female, right? Edit: Better?

Ah muchly! Glad you actually appreciate comments too. I try to be nice when even giving constructive comments cause some people really dislike them, but its great you've taken them into account! The jeans look awesome And yeah his hips are kinda womanly, but whatever, they're not ridiculously wide so it's not a major issue. Great work!

Thanks! Yeah I like it when there's something I can improve on - I really like how the jeans came out after all. Also never did post this: fav.me/d4b7rncI experimented with colour

Those improvements made a huge difference! Wow Madi you are good at the constructive criticism. I think my favourite part of that Kai, is the nose actually, it's not like every other nose it's original and I really like it
