Yamada Takayuki-Serizawa Tamao

A small tribute to one of my favourite Japanese actors - Yamada Takayuki and at the same time my favourite character Serizawa Tamao from my favourite movie Crows Zero.

I know it's not perfect, at the moment I'm trying out different ways of shading. I was also not very sure about doing so many shadows on skin. But all in all I'm quite happy with the result.

The original photo was from promo picture of the movie and can be found here -> [link]

Time spent: whole day I suppose...
Tools: as usually lately oil marker
Lineart: in the Scrapbook

I am aware that due to subject change not many people will see this work - but I think that Yamada is such an amazing actor it is worth to show him to others. Also to my real life friends - if you haven't seen Crows Zero yet contact me I'll borrow you my dvd ^^
