Kenshin vs. Sojiro

Description

After getting to watch the first live action movie of Rurouni Kenshin, I couldn't help but want to draw some pics of Kenshin and co. and not just use them for reference.
Seriously, I don't know the anime and I don't think I like their drawing style quite as much, but the action movie was absolutely brilliant in my opinion. Very enjoyable, a great adaption.
So here I present you my first drawing of those two.

I've really grown to love drawing hakama's. It's great practice for clothing folds. And also those three colours, it was really fun doing it with just three pens (and pencil for sketching, I admit).
I focused on cross hatching, shading in general and on portraying dynamics. Again, I tried to make the hair livelier than from reference, hehe.

I dedicate this to all Rurouni Kenshin fans, as I don't know anyone in specific who loves it on top of my mind.

I always admired the action scenes of that movie, but up till recently never tracked the movie down, hehe. I guess I'm weird.

Don't know if this was the intent, but I like that you can't see either of their faces. It gives me the feeling that they've been locked in battle for a while now and are like hunched over from fatigue. It also puts more focus on their bodies and actions, with no face to look at.

I like the limited colours too. It adds some nice visual variety and clearly makes them distinct from each other.
Nice work on the poses.
