Hi everyone! :)

This is an another entry to a drawing challenge held by @htliao!
Shoutout to @htliao and @surpassinggoogle..

Why did I draw this? In fact, I have already drawn Naruto and Sasuke on the first place?! :')

Well, the very first thing about this drawing is that this reminds me of my dearest younger brother. This is dedicated to him since we are far away from each other as of this moment. He is the one who introduced this anime to me. He like this anime too much and so he is also addicted with this anime. He said that this anime is something which I will be interested in since this anime is about the comparison and contrasting virtual world and reality world. Aside from that, the comparison and contrasting is not that simple because of the fact that the characters are trying to live on by surviving in the game called Sword Art Online. A game which uses an equipment called Nerve Gear.

STEP FOUR: Designing the Cloak of Kirito (still on sketching with the use of 0.5 My Gel Ballpen).

STEP FIVE: Erasing the unnecessary parts of the drawing.

P.S. : What I mean with the unnecessary parts are those pencil traces which are not necessary for the final drawing.

STEP SIX: Designing the result drawing of Previous Steps with the use of a pencil only. Putting shadows.

P.S. : First, I put shadows on the parts which needs darker or thick layer of shadows and then after that, I put shadows on the parts which needs thin layer of shadows.

STEP SEVEN: With the use of a cotton, I have made a finishing touches to the drawing. Making the shadows more clear, shiny and presentable.

STEP EIGHT: Putting a name of the Anime Character, the Anime Logo and my signature with Steemit ID as well, as a proof that I am the one who made the drawing
