commission - Kotetsu x Shizune

Here's the original sketch I did for this: [link]

Sketched/drawn with ballpoint pen, colored on photoshop.

I left out the bandage over his nose because it looks silly. I looked up WHY he wore the bandage, and all it said was that he "never wore the bandage as a child". I figured it was hiding a scar or something, but we can't know for sure...so I just left it off and left his face nice and scar-free. :3

*yoi93 commissioned me to draw her a chibi Kotetsu x Shizune piece in a similar fashion to my Ino x Sai piece. :3 I have fun drawing non-canon, canon pairings!

Kotetsu's hair was surprisingly hard to draw. For me, the simplest things are the hardest to draw. -___-;

I dunno why I love drawing characters in kimono's and matsuri (festival) clothes. They just look so relaxed and cute. Kotetsu-kun's kimono is very plain, since kimono/yukatas for men are usually just one or two tones. Nothing too fancy.

Sorry for the absolute shit background. x____x;;;; If you want me to this over for you, I wouldn't mind... xD;;
