Eiri and Shuichi
Inspired by the fic "Things You Hate"
by Atsureki

The fic "Things You Hate" is a sweet, second-person fic. It was the first fic I read by Atsureki, who has written some very powerful and intense fics in the Gravi universe but is known more for her Weiss Kreuz work.

I highly recommend "Things You Hate". Eventually the fanfic section of the planet will be up, where you will be able to read the story, as I have permission from the author to post it. Until then, you can read it at fanfiction.net.

This is another image drawn in the small sketch pad. The idea of Shuichi snuggling into Eiri for a change was such a delightful image I just had to attempt it.

Again, I used a visible cross-hatch technique to shade instead of stumping the pencilwork for most of the drawing.

After scanning I began a light cg colouring technique, not trying to saturate the drawing. I wasn't even trying for smooth skintones, just a suggestion of colour.

I added Japanese screentones (built from screentone scans and added to the pattern option in PS) to the sheet and one pillow. The bottom sheet was also given a colour wash. Again, the use of a dark colour on the sheet adds a nice frame to the charas.
