Pinnacle of Grace :: Shoyo

Even in defeat, there is glory. And grace, unrivaled.

Fujima Kenji and Hanagata Toru, captain and vice-captain of team Shoyo from Slam Dunk. (We can do it Shoyo! Beat them beat them Shoyo! *cheers*)

This is pleasurably dedicated to ~whateverwinnie () for inspiring me to draw my favorite character again.

Pre-pencilling/lining: 0.5 Pilot mechanical pencil, 2B/HB
Shading: Staedtler 2B and 5B lead pencils
(and my first time using a gum eraser. )

It's been a while since I did some serious shading like this. I'm pretty pleased though, it turned out better than I ever expected. One of my best works, I would say. I guess shading really is my forte
