How to Draw Challenge – Aqua (After the Battle) (COLOR)
I disappeared once again, and I apologize for it. But I am now close to being finished with my newest project, so I hope you guys look forward to that.
And so the time has finally arrived for me to draw Aqua from Kingdom Hearts. I have been realy looking forward to drawing her for such a long time. After playing Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep she definitely became my favourite out of the three new heroes. Her powers just like her personality were gentle and balanced, creating the strongest and most prominent character in this arc. Her involvement in this story was so great that without her the story might have ended at just that, having Xehanort winning the battle between light and darkness. I can’t wait to see her in Dream Drop Distance and witness what other feats she will accomplish.
As stated in the video I want to hear your comments on which version of the drawing you like more. The light drawing or the dark one?
Hope you enjoy it,

Coming soon

How to Draw Challenge – Nue Houjuu
This is a video from my old account. I believe it to be one of the few gems that came out back then. The only complaint I may have is that I made her body bend a bit too much. Hopefully it won’t cause her a problem when standing and posing.
Hope you enjoy it,

How to Draw Challenge – Dante (COLOR)
request by: MrEndcraft
Devil may cry is a game I have had the urge to play and yet have still not had the chance to do so, which is kind of ridiculous if I really think about it. As soon as I have some spare money I am definitely purchasing the series (luckily the most of the games should have a big discount by now).
Despite not playing the games yet, I have taken notice of Dante and the Devil May Cry series. I have always thought that they looked extremely cool and interesting after I saw a friend playing the game, I believe it was the second one in the series. It was so long ago I do not remember clearly.
Anyway here is another drawing request and I truly hope you guys enjoy it. I really like the hairstyle Dante used when he was younger although that one strap that only covers his chest takes a bit to get used to. I’ve noticed that most of my request have red in them…
Hope you enjoy it,

How to Draw Challenge – Black Rock Shooter (COLOR)
It is finally here, my interpretation of Black Rock Shooter. This character/series has had quite a bit of a following, so much so that it’s amazing. The story of how it all began is just as great or even greater than that of the Touhou Project. It all started with the individual work of one man that all flourished into something so magnificent and amazing. To have just one drawing inspire a song and later a whole array of adaptations including anime, games and figures is just amazing. I can clearly understand why it happened, though. After all when I saw drawings and videos of Black Rock Shooter my curiosity was always awakened. I was just facinated by the design of both the character and the background.
When I saw the OVA I was blown away, it was really owning up to all it’s hype. Now I know that there are alot of people who dissagree and believe the OVA or the series for that matter isn’t that special, all I can say about that is, to each their own. Next stop is watching the series, but I want to leave it alone until a couple of episodes have already gone up. I like to watch it marathon style.
My interpretation is made up of action figures, original and fan made renditions of Black Rock Shooter. I really liked the blue hue on her hair ( which is apparent in the figures) so I decided to add that in. I was kind of having a bit of hard time deciding whether or not to incorporate the blue flame, but I seriously wanted to show her eyes which is why I ended up omitting it. Back grounds are something I still have not been incorporating yet (and the main reason is the time it would take), but I really want to do so, even if just a little like I did with this drawing in the very bottom.
Hope you enjoy it,

How to Draw Challenge – Yuki (pureblood) -+- Zero (Double Feature)
For the first video of the month we have a special double feature. These drawings were on my last channel, I truly think they came out great. And I hope you guys do as well.
I know that Vampire Knight is a shoujou manga, but I do not shy away from trying them out (especially if the artwork is captivating like this series). Even so, there are some that are a bit too girly and “strange” for me (to those who read shoujou manga, you know what I mean). But Vampire Knight is probably my favorite shoujou manga right now, the story, characters and most of all the artwork are amazing. The first time I enven noticed Vampire Knight was when I saw a picture of Yuki in a magazine, I was captivated right away. I later found out that she was from a manga series, as soon as I started reading I was hooked. It should be very apparent that my favorite pair is Yuki and Zero.
I plan to make a new drawing with both of these characters again so I hope you look forward to it.
Hope you enjoy it,
