Illustration Friday: Captain : Kenpachi Zaraki

Ok, I'm really late this week....I got this far by 9:20 a.m. on Friday, and the Captain subject had already been closed...but I'm going to post this anyway.

I chose Captain Kenpachi Zaraki -11 division - a favorite character from an awesome manga/anime series called Bleach - by Tite Kubo. This is a licensed character, and it is clearly FAN art drawn from reference....but when I thought about the Captain topic...this was the first thing that came to mind.

I was originally going to do a complete red wash with watercolor over the ink drawing...I still might do that, but I just started out way to late on the project. I will post what i have done so far. 11 x 14 , Ink on 140 lb. watercolor paper.
