Miyavi pixel art

Well, this is my first serious attempt at pixel art... worked on it from 8:30 this morning till now, 5:12. Stopping only for a cake break. (it was gross cake, too ;_;) Nuthin but MS Paint, my mouse, and a hot picture of Miyavi that I wanted to try drawning. Sounds tedious and borng I know, but it was really fun. It was a blast, like a party except without the awkwardness of realizing you don't actually like anyone who is there, and just sitting in the corner sipping punch. Oh, without the punch too.

Just found it on Google ><

I didn't know wtf it was that he was holding and I kept messing up the hand anyway so I just didn't put it in.

I hate the hair. Hate hate hate. But I love the skin. love love love. Especially the jaw/cheek area. -poke poke- I didn't spend as long on the shirt as I did on the skin, but there's still like 15 shades of blue in there =_= The smallness of this picture irritates me. I hate small pictures. They always seem suspicious.

I want to do more pictures like this. Who should I draw next? : D
