About the piece
A hand-drawn tribute to Lelouch vi Britannia, calm gaze, raised hand, and that unmistakable strategist’s poise. I sketched this during my nomad travels, leaning into manga cross-hatching and halftone textures to keep the portrait raw, focused, and timeless. Part of my Sketch Series, where I capture favorite characters with a minimalist, black-ink aesthetic made for real rooms.
Story behind the sketch
I wanted the moment before the command: quiet intensity rather than action. The lines stay loose and human, like notes from the road, so the piece reads graphic from a distance and detailed up close.
Style & where it belongs
Monochrome, high-contrast portrait that pairs effortlessly with modern, minimalist, or gaming setups. Great for home offices, studios, bedrooms, and gallery walls, or as the anchor for an anime wall alongside your other prints.
