This is my Soul Calibur III character, Akeru. I just felt like sketching this drawing after seeing my art instructor post up his sketch of one of his characters from the fourth installment of the series.

Really, though.. I need to work on shading more. I don't have the slightest idea what I'm doing. I know there's a light source and stuff, but I don't have enough imagination to figure out exactly what is reflecting light and what isn't. :( Practice doesn't always equal perfect if you don't know what your doing right or wrong is.. ::*sighs*:: -_-"
