Happy Birtday...

Happy Tatsu-day everyone!

Today's the day our beloved Tatsurou, the vocalist of the Japanese band MUCC, turns 31!!

Happy Birthday!

So I drew this portrait of him….Although it’s a photo from a LOOONGG time ago, I somehow kinda liked his style back then….call me weird, but I actually think he looked cute like this back then…

It’s not my best drawing, and I really didn’t draw it according to the photo I used as ref ( I tend to use the term reference rather loosely XD ), but I still think it’s okay…. I just vow never to draw on printing paper ever again, and really respect the people who do…it’s so messy!

Anyhow, hope you all like it!
