I had some free time last night so to pass the time I ended up doodling another pencil Byakuya drawing. I was really happy at how it turned out so I decided to take the time and color it.
The coloring itself drove me crazy this time. With all the while glowing effects I found it REALLY difficult to color and have it not turn out weird looking. So after nearly 9 hours I finally gave up and I'm submitting it as is.... *shakes fist*
Anyways, I've always wanted to draw Byakuya in his final Bankai phase: Shukei Hakuteiken (Last sight white emperor sword) and besides the coloring issues I'm more or less happy with the final results. *drools over Byakuya*
Oh and before people start pointing it out, his head is facing more away from the viewer which is why it looks rather narrow....
--- Drawn completely in regular pencil (on 8.5x11 computer paper) then scanned and darkened. I then added in some color with photoshop under the pencil. Some effects were also added above the pencil.
The pencil only version can be seen in my blog --> [link] I also have a step by step tutorial showing how to color under pencil like this. --> [link]
Time: Pencil: a few hours last evening, Coloring: 9 hours. Drawn with a regular mechanical pencil. Colored in photoshop. No Critique desired.
It's pencil with digital coloring under it (and a touch of additional color over the lines to clean some of them). I also posted a pencil only version without any of the color here to prove it: [link]
