This is just a little pencil study using oekaki shading techniques.

It's nothing special. I started this back in March as a study of S's hair and eye at a profile, mostly just for practice. I added E for the hell of it, and he has that 'Mirage of Blaze' look about him.

I was also working a little on face size proportions, trying to make sure they were close to the right size compared to each other. E's eyes are a little high on the face, oh well. I guess if had shortened the nose and moved the mouth up a little it would have looked better. I am not too concerned about it.

I used the various shading techniques I have been using with oekaki to pencil shade this time. This made the shading more simplistic than usual.

I finished this at the 2004 a-kon.

I kinda like how they are 'sharing' a shoulder line.

After I scanned and cleaned up the drawing, I decided to try and colour it in Photoshop, again attempting to use some oekaki techniques.

I consider these studies more than actual official pieces of 'art'.
