Hello! It's been a week since I last posted here. Can't imagine days went by too fast but also felt that I had been away on Hive for a long time. Have you felt that way to before? Anyway, the character presented for the "Draw This in Your Style" challenge week 7 last week was Katsuki Bakugo from the anime My Hero Academia.
My Hero Academia is an anime I haven't seen but has been on my list for a long time already, and so obviously, Bakugo is another character I am not familiar with. However, since this is already the third time I am drawing a character from an anime I still haven't watched, I am somehow getting used to it.
So here is my own representation of Bakugo:
Katsuki Bakugo
I am not sure if I spelled his name right. The other participants for the art challenge spelled his name as "Bakugou", meanwhile, on my web searches it was spelled "Bakugo". I don't know which is correct.
Anyway, I was busy almost the entire week making another art that I didn't have the spare time to watch some clips of Bakugo. While thinking of how I would draw him, all I did was look on photos online where most of what appeared were fan service fanarts of Bakugo in casual outfits. This was what influenced me to come up with my drawing. I guess it's my fault not looking for a video of Bakugo to see what his personality is like though I felt relieved when someone mentioned that it what I did was a good contrast to Bakugo's usual personality.
So a while ago, before writing this post, I watched a clip of Bakugo and here are my first impressions about this character. A strong, competitive, and..somewhat a tsundere boy. He seems to be a softie but covers it up because he wanted to appear strong to everyone. (Tell me if I'm wrong.) His character design looks nice too. It makes me regret to have not watched this anime earlier, maybe I could've drawn him in his battle suit and not holding a lollipop!
If there's something good in this drawing, it's probably being able to draw a side profile of a character. It's something daunting for me so I rarely draw a character on this position even though I did a couple of similar drawings before for my favorite Japanese artists. I also get to practice to draw a hand which took me quite a while to get the shape I want. Well, just consider this a fan service Bakugo drawing!
Drawing Process
Overall, drawing Bakugo wasn't that too difficult too draw despite being challenged to draw the hand and side profile. To draw the character, I only used a thin pencil for the line art and watercolor brush for coloring. I recently fell in love with the watercolor brush because the color tends to get soft at the end of the stroke and can also blend colors although I still use the color mixing tool sometimes.
On the background, I placed a solid color blue then added gradient colors of yellow and orange on the top right. Then I overlayed a splash brush behind Bakugo so the space behind him doesn't look empty. And to complete my drawing, I added a silhouette. Guess I'm having fun adding silhouettes in my drawing!
Is Bakugo your favorite character from My Hero Academia? Would you mind telling me something about him and why do you like this character?

Ang cute ng sayo, Kat. Naisip ko rin na gawing chill and cool na Bakugou pero iba ang nagawa heheh.
Hanggang season 1 lang ako sa anime na to, and nakalimutan ko na yung name ng character na gusto. Haha pero nasa to watch ko parin naman.
Salamat caryl!! sana yun din nagawa mo para may kasama ako hahaha XD
Sige watch ko rin to after ng jujutsu kaisen.
Hola! Bakugou es mi personaje favorito de MHA, tu dibujo no esta mal pero te invito a que veas el anime y lo vuelvas a hacer, verás y sentirás el contraste entre ambos jaja.
Su nombre: se pronuncia bakugo y se escribe con una u al final por fines blah del idioma japonés que es como alargar la última "o". Sería como Bakugoo.
Algo de su personalidad: es una rubia explosiva jaja. Es un personaje bastate agresivo y mal carácter. Conoce muy bien sus prioridades y está completamente decidido a ser el heroe numero 1 no importa qué. Tienes buenas calificaciones y es muy fuerte. Va a aprendiendo a ser mas relajado cuando se encuentra con personas que considera dignas jaja.
Ay si todo parece malo pero lo amo xD.
Sigue dibujando!! 💜 Saludos
Hello! Thank you for telling me more about Bakugou! I'll write with "u" from now on. 😂 He seems like an awesome character the way you described him. Thanks for the encouragement! ❤️
Oh! Sorry for writing in spanish! I get exited and forgot in wich lenguage was.
I love him! Jajaja the number 1 hero!
It's alright :D I think google translate was able to translate your comment well.
