Don't know if it's ok to post it here too but...

This is an artwork showcasing Isshin Ashina (from "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice" game) in the artstyle of Takehiko Inoue.

This was a practice drawing (so I mostly traced over the outline from the reference image as seen in the 2nd image) where I tried to analyse the artstyle of Takehiko Inoue.

The most fun part was definitely rendering the hair strands which I have always noticed having a serene flow to them in most of Takehiko Inoue's artworks.
