Surprise, Elricz! I'm your Secret Santa! You requested Izuku, and I was all too happy to oblige. Having just finished the second season of MHA a few months back, I wanted to draw one of the characters. The SS was a great opportunity to do so.

I never realized how FREAKIN' HARD his hair was to both draw and color. Still, the harder the battle, the sweeter the victory, and I'm proud of how it came out.

By the end of coloring, I was getting a bit aggressive and got smudges everywhere. Thank goodness for Photoshop because I cropped a lot of that out. You should have seen my fingers-- they were green! In any case, it gave my colored pencils-- not to mention my hand-- a much-needed workout.

As a final note, Elricz, I'm happy I got to be your Secret Santa since you're one of my best friends on theO. I hope you like the picture.
