Edit Dec. 31st, 2009: I just wanted to say THANK YOU so much to everyone for their support on this drawing, especially my fellow Shugo Chara fans from :iconamuto-club: and :iconshugo--chara--club:. You guys are wonderful and I appreciate it! :hug:

I'm really touched actually, I've never had this many favourites on any one of my deviations before. :blushes:

WOW, it's been HOW LONG since I last drew something?? :lmao:

This is the touched-up version done in Photoshop, which bolded the main lines to make them more visible. I'll upload the original scanned copy to my scraps.

I know it doesn't look very good, I ended up going with a "bold, sketchy look" and I'm so-so with how it turned out. I think it's a big improvement over how I drew Ikuto last time though, for my friend *lillyGirl. :XD: I didn't know Shugo Chara or Ikuto back then, but now that I'm familiar with the series and I like Ikuto, I wanted to try again. In the manga he's not smiling so much, but I ended up giving him more of a smile and a "determined" look, so I'm happy about that.

Please pardon his hair, he has SO many lines in his hair and they were such a pain in the ass to try and get right. ^^; So I got as many of the "main" ones as I could and kind of sketched in the rest.

This picture was drawn entirely by hand, with a mechanical pencil and ordinary art sketchbook. I was going to colour this originally, but decided not to because I've had so many drawings ruined by my colouring. >_< So pencil it is, although I may colour it in with my tablet later on.

I'm also proud of this taking only a couple of hours to do... previously something like this would take me at least 1 - 2 days to do, at several hours each day, but for whatever reason I managed to get this done in one sitting. Weird. o.o


Edit Oct. 11th, 2009: This is an entry in *vulcania's "Black and White" contest.


-----------

This is from ch. 43, volume 10 of the manga I believe (Japanese, since the translated English volumes are behind). I do not claim to own Ikuto or Shugo Chara or anything else from the series. Shugo Chara is copyrighted by Peach Pit and other people. ^^
