Garizole realistic sketch

Most of you, especially recent watchers, might notice that this is totally different than my usual style. I usually go for semi-realism or an anime/manga style, but I can do realism too-- it's just a LOT harder to capture the characters from Forest this way.

This isn't a 100% accurate Garizole, but it's close. The only thing I really don't like is the shape/tilt of his eye. I drew this a while ago, so I think it was before I had mentally established that his eyes tilt the other way <_<

I did this in a moleskine journal in blue pen, so I left all the sketchy lines from stage 1 of the drawing (laying out some shapes, like a circle for the head) and various mistakes I made. I could've cleaned it up by I chose to leave it as is because I really like the character that rough sketches have.. they always lose something when you clean them up, in my opinion.
