Shiki Senri FAIL

Ello everyone! It's time for another tutorial! Yeaahh! I just had a brainfart today, and I couldn't decide what to do. Soooo...I took out one of my mangas and began to draw Shiki from Vampire Knight. Oh. My. Goodness. I tried so hard to make it look like him, but it turned out to be way different than I thought. I'm sorry I couldn't copy how he EXACTLY looks, but I tried. So, are you willing to fail with me? Well, let's fail together, shall we?

Oh yeah...don't ask why I chose Shiki. He's not really a main character, but come one...He's got to be one of the cutest vampires there are.

Supplies:

#2 pencil (DIXON recommended)

eraser

paper

color pencils (optional)

Step 1: Draw an outline of the face. Then, draw a horizontal line in the middle. After that, draw a vertical line in the middle.

Step 2: Now, draw the anime eyes. I know anime eyes are a bit difficult, but I'll try too walk you through the steps

1) Draw two horizontal lines. (Put space within them) 

2) On the ends (nearest to where the ears should be), draw little vertical lines.

3.) Then, draw an almost full circle in the middle of the horizontal lines.

4.) After that, draw the pupils inside. (Erase some of it to add a bit of a glare)

5.) This is optional. You can darken the pupil if you would like to.

Step 3: After you are done, draw your lids and eyebrows. Since this is a guy, you want to make the eyebrows a bit thick.

Step 4: Draw in the nose. It's really simple. Just mimic the shape above.

Step 5: Draw a half circle an a horizontal line below to make the mouth.

Step 6: Outline the hair. It may be a bit difficult, but try your best. Just draw a lot of triangles around the head in different sizes. Make sure they curve a bit to look like hair.

Step 7: Use hashing strokes to make the hair look more realistic.

 Step 8: Just shade and you're ready to go. Simple right? Just don't shade the face too much or the skin will look dark. Remember, he's a vampire, so he had pale skin.

Finally, I finished! Yeah!!! Oh. My. Goodness. I've been trying to draw difficult things this often, and it makes me so tired. BUT, I hope you guys enjoyed this simple tutorial. I'm sorry it doesn't look exactly like him. I was in a rush, so it didn't work out as well as I thought. Well, even if I did have time, I probably couldn't make it look the same. Anyways, thank you so much for viewing. If you really loved it, I would appreciate any shares, follows, or +1. I can't wait to post again tomorrow! (Though, it might be late because of school. Ugh)

High five to Vampire Knight fans! (Well, virtual high five) I love you all so much. MWAH!
