Kame

Assignment: Write an essay on two books by certain authors.
Me: Sure! *draws*

Kamenashi Kazuya who plays Kyohei in the drama Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge. Allow me to quote him:

(on women): "Being able to eat fish nicely makes my heart move"

The glass was giving me a lot of trouble, since it's right over the lips and lips are hard to draw as they are >_o

The background was really annoying as well. I don't like trying to get such a large thing look smooth (so I gave up).

About 7 hours.
