Hayato Suo of WindBreaker (fan art)

I recently caught up with Wind Breaker manga last night and it was amazing. I forgot where I stopped reading before the anime started, so I decided to re-read from the beginning. Actually, my entry for Wild Plot Wednesday made me want to do so. hahah

And even after reading it the second time around and watching the anime a couple of times, Suo is still my favorite character. And because of that, I decided to create a fan art of Suo Hayato of Wind Breaker.

If you're not familiar with Wind Breaker, it's about Sakura Haruka who decided to enter Furin High School with the goal of becoming the top. However, Furin High isn't your typical high school and Sakura isn't aiming for something that's related to academics.

Students in Furin High are strong fighters who initially just brawled and created chaos but were later reformed and become united. Their goal is to protect the town and the people of Makochi. They're called BOFURIN.

My favorite character, Suo, is one of Sakura's classmates and vice-captain. He is very calm and collected, but it also very playful and sadistic with his comments. Yes, another gap character to add to my list!

I also really love his fighting style. It is quite a defensive type of fighting, but it's so elegant-looking. I also love his master-disciple relationship with Nirei who I find adorable. Nirei is such a baby that you want to protect. (Well, the same goes for Sakura)... and Suo is like the mean but loving big brother to both of them.

Anyway, let me show you some progress shots of my Suo fan art.

After my Skype class earlier, I sketched this fan art for about 15 minutes. However, I felt tired and wanted to relax for a bit, so I went up to my bed and read some manhwa (Solo Leveling - because my male bestie just finished reading it and forced told me to read it).

After an hour or so, I proceeded with the coloring which took me around 40 minutes or so. I used acrylic markers and a green colored pencil to make it. I also outlined it with 0.4 and 0.7 pens and used a white pen for the uniform's highlights. It's been almost a month since I drew. I guess I'm too busy with other stuff, but I want to continue drawing whenever I can.

Anyway, thanks for checking this post out. See you around!
