Ryu and Clothe studies


Ryu. The iconic japanese main character in the Street Fighter games. A wandering warrior: a person whose life is entirely devoted to spiritual perfection through the art of the fist. He does not care about winning or losing so much as the moment of the fight and the opportunity for spiritual advancement.

I was drawing a karate practitioner and it was easy just to make him into Ryu. Next time I'll give more thought to the facial expression, seeing how it really doesn't fit him. I had a hard time thinking about how to draw the folds on his clothing so I did some studies. Keeping the folds simple was the best way to go because detailed folds would've been too distracting. The Asian guy on the right and left is thinker I always like to draw.

I've been finding out that I can't be lazy if I want to draw something satisfying.
