"Baki Hanma" Artwork! #creative-sunday

_{Final Image}

Inspiration

Every artwork I create connects to a part of me. Today, I chose to draw Baki. I watched the anime in December 2023, around the same time I discovered Andrew Tate. At 23, I was focused on building stamina and had just joined the gym. Without realizing it, I shifted from watching Andrew Tate's videos to Baki clips on YouTube, which led me to the anime. Now, I’m once again focused on increasing my stamina. This time, I’m strengthening myself spiritually and improving my mental health. Prayers help me stay physically active, boosting my concentration as I pray five times a day. While I wish I understood Arabic to grasp every word, it’s a challenge I plan to tackle.

Preparing Tools

I gathered felt tip pens and pencils (2H and B) for this sketch. These tools will help me capture the strength and intensity of Baki Hanma on the blank sheet.

Setting Up Workspace

I placed my tools on the blank sheet, ready to sketch. The organized workspace ensures I stay focused as I bring Baki’s character to life.

Drawing Basic Shape

Using the Loomis method, I started with a circle in the center to serve as the base for Baki’s head. Light pencil strokes allow for easy adjustments as I shape the figure.

Adding Guidelines

I added horizontal and vertical lines intersecting at the center of the circle to guide facial feature placement. These lines ensure symmetry and proper proportions.

Outlining Structure

I sketched the head using the guidelines for balance. Baki’s strong jawline and muscular frame began to take form, staying true to his character’s powerful physique.

Adding Details

I outlined Baki’s wild hair and intense eyes. The strong, angular features reflect his determination and intensity, essential traits of his character.

Refining Features

I deepened the lines around Baki’s hair, face, and muscular neck. The background lines added motion, conveying the energy of a martial artist always ready for battle.

Final Details

I focused on refining Baki’s spiky hair and his well-defined muscles. Shading with the felt tip pens added depth and captured the fierce spirit of the character.

Final Touches

I completed the shading on Baki’s face, hair, and upper body, giving him a lifelike, polished look. The pens and pencils used throughout reflect the process behind the final artwork.

Finalizing Artwork

The final shading and texture brought out Baki’s raw power and discipline. His intense expression and battle-ready stance stand out, fully capturing the essence of this martial arts icon.
