Hanabusa Aido [Vampire Knight]

Hanabusa Aido [Vampire Knight] from M. Hino © 20. Nov. 2011 by LdT



Once again a competition entry haha :D Seems like I'd only draw for competitions lately ...
Anyway, it's for Daisuki's Copic-Contest where you have to draw a picture about Matsuri Hino-Sensei's Vampire Knight with only 5 copic colours and a Multiliner for the Copic 5+1-Set.
Again a drawing with a colour restriction ....

Following 5 colours were used here: 
E50 Egg Shell: SKIN - Egg Shell is a pretty bright colour so I thought it fits perfect for a vampire's skin ? :D
Y21 Buttercup Yellow: HAIR - I deliberated a long while whether I should use a blond colour or a brown one because it wasn't easy to be seen on M. Hino-Sensei's Arts .__. In the end I chose blond because my brown colours were too dark xD
B00 Frost Blue: EYES - Hanabusa Aido has got a bright blue eyecolour and his element is Ice ♥
B97 Night Blue: WAISTCOAT - It's NIGHT Blue ! (^-^)V Aaand it's more typical for aristrocrats :3
W-3 Warm Gray No. 3: BUTTON-DOWN-SHIRT & ACCESSOIRIES - Grey makes him look more severe ! I like that serious person of Hanabusa Aido as well as his cheery personality :)

One thing I'd like to mention: This was scanned with my new Printer/Scanner and although the quality of the print resolution was quite good it's really wayy brighter than the original picture really is ! Like for example you can't see the shadows of his facial skin and his hair as well as his eye colour (?) :(
So that's why I just uploaded this on my Artblog instead of Animexx haha, poor quality sucks ! -.- But still hope you like it :P

.::About the Picture & its Creation::. 

When I thought about drawing a picture for Vampire Knight the first characters that came to my mind were of course Kaname Kuran, Zero Kiryu & Yuki Kurosu. But this would have been to obvious and therefore boring, so I came to think of Hanabusa Aido aka Idol-Senpai (especially because he was appearing a lot in the last chapters of the Daisuki). And then I was like. naaww..I'd rather like to draw Akatsuki Kain aka Wild-Senpai because it's easier to choose the colours for him and the clothes xD
I even went to buy new Copics (just 3 ! lol) and in the end I still drew Hanabusa Aido :P

It was something like Kaname -> Zero -> Yuki -> Kaname -> Hanabusa -> Akatsuki -> Hanabusa -> Akatsuki -> Hanabusa !

And since I had the scribble ready I went on outlining it yesterday and colouring it right after. All in all it took me about 2 hours ( quite long for such a picture huh ? o.o ).
I like Hanabusa's style so I put classy clothes on him but his hair was horrible ! The lines weren't just like how I wanted  them to be \(>-<)/#
About his button-down-shirt, the sleeves are a bit puffy that's why it looks a bit swollen xD
Wonder if one can see that it's Hanabusa Aido ? o.O
So saaad about the pale colours here T__T~

See you next time ~ ♫
