Erza - Sarashi+Hakama Drawingby *Iza-nagi

Manga & Anime / Traditional Media / Drawings

EXTREME APOLOGIES for the crappy quality of the scan, I tried to retouch in Photoshop but it was of no use. Hence I cropped the image and left it as such.

The armor (or lack thereof) is a traditional Sarashi and Hakama which Erza adorns during her battle against Ikaruga. I loved the animation during this saga of the anime, and that's the reason I drew it.

Technical Specs

Used 2H for the inital rough sketch

Used 4B and 6B for the shading, and a tortillion set to mix it up. Not to forget, Copic Multiliner 0.3 for the outlines.

The glow on the sword was done by eraser, but the plan was beforehand.

The technique of the graininess of the shading part was partly my paper's fault, but I like this type of shading, so I gave no thought of further smoothening it out.

Hope you guys like this! You can find the ref here: >>> [link]

I really pushed myself with the shading in this one; hope you anime and Erza fans dig this.
