Viewing Transcendence - Kaneda

18x24- Mixed Media/ Acrylic Ink
Hand Painted Kaneda from the classic manga/film Akira. As one of my favorite characters and movie adaptation of a manga I made sure to focus hard on keeping the line clean and strong as it is in the manga. There is a strong contrast between the white and black in this piece. I added the brown in his eyes to have just a slight contrast from the black and white. I first drew it in pencil then went over with sharpie to darken the lines. Once i felt comfortable with the form and details i then used a fine brush to go over with acrylic ink for the black.
