Maximum Ride: Ari

Hello again world!
I am so happy! The latest Maximum Ride manga (vol. 7) came out last month! I think I am obsessed with NaRae Lee's style of artwork...it's beautiful!!! 

Constantly, I am trying to draw the characters in her books in the hopes that, one day, I'll be able to draw like her on my own. Example:

This young man is Ari.

He has a tough past that I don't want to get into right now, but this is actually one of the only, (if no only), times I think he truly smiles. That's why I loved his expression so much. It's a look of innocent, unforeseen happiness. Isn't he cute?!?
At the beginning of the series, however, I must admit I hated Ari... he was horrible. But now, I finally started liking him a bit. T-T ... R.I.P. Ari.

I like how this drawing turned out. (It actually fills my entire 8.5 by 11 inch sketchbook sheet and continues a bit onto the page next to it with his jacket and shoulder.) Drawing his hair was a lot of fun. ^_^

*Sigh* I wish I could draw like this from memory...

Well, this artist is tired out.
Ciao!
