Was going to add a bit of a background, but the applet started acting funny on me and I was afraid to continue incase the computer froze up. @.@ This is probably one of the few oekaki drawings I've been pleased with. I'm never pleased with much of my oekakis.

Collar is a little messed up. Hair could have used some finer highlights... Meh...

EDIT: Yah, just to answer a comment about the shading on the neck. At first I wasn't planing on color this and just making it a sketch, but then I started coloring it and was going to get rid of the crosshatch shading when I noticed I kind of liked it in there.

very different from your other tow pictures here. Nice job on the hair. The only thing that threw me off was the use of crosshatch shading on the neck when it isn't used anywhere else. Good job of keeping him from looking like a girl-that can be hard with long hair. Nice work

Yesh indeed, non-androgenous-ness for teh win..

I like the shading, especially on his shirt, I had shading white, myself, not to mention the hair is lovely as well ^^
I have to say, though, my favorite part is his face for some reason.. I think it's the nose..

<3!! shading/line art = great!

but since I'm really mean and all that - the proportions (spelling... geh...) on the torso are off (proportions! agh! *hides*). besides that, I have no other complaints besides being jealous of your nifty oekaki skillz.

he looks sensitive - yet tough. I assume he knows martial arts, or at least can lay claim to having a good right hook.
