First of all: I drew this for the ones who supported me no matter what happened. Thank you SO very much. I truly love you all.
It is finally done: Character L, also known as the detective candy addict from the manga series Death Note.
This guy got most of the votes of my poll 'What shall I draw next [...]?' which is weird because I mainly draw game fanart (or better said: 'Square Enix' fanart) aside from the usual drawings.
---------------------------------
About Death Note
I don't know a whole lot about Death Note, except from reading *SilentReapers comics, and from all the other fanarts I've seen before. And the movie of course, of which I took the reference from.
I know there are characters called L, Light, Mello, Near and Kira, and a crazy big guy with the name Ryuk.
But that's it really. Shame on me I know.
---------------------------------
About the drawing...
The whole picture in general wasn't hard to draw, but... argh... that damn sleeve! It was driving me nutty, I tell ya!!! St00pid folds!!! D:<
The hair was made up, since the reference image wasn't clear at all, so I drew it the way as I thought it would look nice without making it too fake or realistic.
As for the background... Believe it or not, but that's entirely done with a 0.5mm HB mechanical pencil. No further comments on that.

Stuff I used:
4H, 2H, H mechanical pencils for the skintones
