Nakamaru Yuichi

I'm a bit late but: HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARU!!!!

For those who don't know, this is the N of Japanese boyband, KAT-TUN, and the best damn beat boxer known to man.

I just now found the time to paint this today...it's basically a study. I didn't have time to really work for hours and it was done in one sitting. I realize the likeness isn't my best work, but I really wanted to do something for his birthday. Sorry Maru for making you look funny! The idea for the medium came from ~juliet418, who rocks the use of acrylics as watercolors. Yep, this is an acrylic wash. I used a bit of Pro-Whtie for the highlights in the eyes, lip and necklace. For non-KAT-TUN fans, you may ask, 'Why purple?' Well, that's because purple is unofficially officially Maru's member color.

Medium: Liquitex BASICS acrylic-Mars Black; Dr. Ph Martin's Bleed Proof White ink/dye; strathmore watercolor paper; water; paper towels
