After a looooong time (nearly a month) I managed to find the time and courage and energy to start a sort of study. I picked an image from the interwebs (source: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/315533517645390080/) and tried to replicate it BUT by using reference from a manga whose style is god tier (and probably bad reference since I'm not sure I can understand what Inoue actually sees and knows to do the lines he does, but doesn't hurt to try learning from the gods). I still can't possible understand how I could approach to specific parts of the face, but for a first try it's not bad enough I think... (The more I look at it, the worse it becomes though)

Used Sailor Ink Fude 45 #fountainpen and provided sailor black ink cartridge.
