screencap from a later episode of Fushigi Yuugi

I do hope I got his name right it's been a while since I've seen the series. hey! I actually used a blending stump on this one! this is the first time using them, then (in my screenshots sketchbook, that is. I may have started earlier in my manga sketchbook).

wow, his hair poofs out a lot. Hair is always tough for me, especially when it has a lot of highlights, like his :/ I'm really anal about getting it exactly like it is on the screencap that I'm looking at, so it takes a lot more time than it should. I always like drawing eyes and eyebrows though they take the shortest time and usually turn out the best. hmmm... I wish I could remember what he's so sad about ;_;
