Now this is a sketch done by one of the artists that created several artworks for the game League of Legends, so he has a pretty good idea of the art style. The art style of League of Legends is a mixture of a comic style combined with realistic shading. What I wanted to highlight was the sketching style of a more experienced artist. You see how he only briefly defines the shading with some quick line work but with the outline, more precise lines are used as well as darkening the outline where it would be darker from the shading. With this style of shading, you can focus more on perfecting the outline since it is the most important part of sketching is defining the drawing without spending too much time.
Anyway this drawing style leans towards more of a Anime style than a realistic style which you can tell by how the face is drawn. So as I've said before, with an Anime-ish style, the outline of the drawing must be accurate since that is what helps to create that style. What's difficult about this drawing is the perspective created, since the arm is close to viewer which throws off the proportioning of a normal drawing which makes the head look small. Understanding this angle of drawing is important when you want to recreate this drawing.
Feel free to post your outcome in the comment section below, have fun!
