Now by this time a free hand

Gosh, you have no idea how much time, effort and love I put in this drawing. I always wanted to make a realistic looking drawing after seeing some amazing ones on the internet, so realistic you have to check the category to make sure it isn’t just a picture. Well… I can say there is still some room for improvements, but I’m proud of accomplishing this. I hate the way his necklace turned out, it looks so fake, but I couldn’t get it to look any better. Maybe I’ll change it if I get any better. (I love how the hand and his lips turned out BTW, I actually surprised myself with that) If anyone has any tips to get him look more realistic, I’ll be happy to hear them.
Actually I already finished the drawing yesterday, but I still had to come up with a good title and it was a bit too late to upload it (my internet is so slow lately, so it would just have taken ages) Now I finally came up with the title, so… do you like it? It’s a line from the lyrics from ‘Cockroach’ You can see the pv and listen to their song here: [link] (the beginning is a bit weird)
An amazing song from The GazettE. I totally love it. I’m in a GazettE fan mood right now, so I just HAVE to draw them. They’re so much fun to draw and they all look so pretty (maybe you don’t think so, but this is just my taste) they look like they come straight from an anime
This is Aoi, the first member I decided to draw from my –The GazettE cockroach series- Did you recognize him? They wear such cool cloths, so I couldn’t resist drawing them.
Next up is Ruki. I already started to draw him, but please be patient, I draw so slow and this drawing style takes a lot of time. I’ll try my best to finish him ASAP.
I would like to hear what you think of my drawing and this drawing style.
