This sketch is from another newly released manga called .hack//XXXX. It's about kite. this particular sketch is from the last book of the series in which Kite becomes the azure flame, Tri-edge. {in appearance at least}
The sketchy appearance of the ink job is on purpose. The drawing throughout the manga was sketchy as well, not as fine lined as in the new G.U.+ manga. But it still has it's own effect to it.
I started in minor pencil, inked it in, used pencil shade tones and white out for highlights. It took be about 4 hours.
PLS COMMENT
