Description

Character: (8 y.o.) Hatake Kakashi
Tools used: Pen Tablet + Photoshop


Another fanart inspired by :iconbimbomushi:'s fanfiction "Grains of Sand" (chapter 2).

This is one of my (many) favorite chapters. There are various parts of it I've always wanted to draw so it was hard for me to choose one scene amongst them all. xD
Like always with Bimbomushi-sama, it's wonderfully written and this whole chapter filled my heart with tenderness (but also worry) for poor Kakashi-kun... ;__;

I was happy with my original sketch of him: it was detailed and satisfying enough that I thought about posting it without further modification. But to paint it was a very tempting opportunity to try new things, too. So...:)
In this chapter, Kakashi suffers from the bitting cold. I really wanted to see if I could make the fact apparent in the way I painted his skin, his lips or his fingertips...(as a result, my picture is inaccurate because Kakashi is not supposed to be mask-less in this scene, but I hope it's still alright). I tried to paint him frail and delicate without looking too girlish.

In my mother tongue (but probably not only in this very language), ermine and its fur is sometimes used as comparison to the pristine mantle of snow covering everything with beauty. So, even if there was no ermine in the scene itself, I used it to symbolize the soft delicateness of snow that balances the sting of winter cold.
(also, this wild little animal sort of made me think about Kakashi-kun when I painted it xD *laughs*)
