Comment:
Hazuo in one of his many costumes. |D I hadn't drawn him in a while and felt inspired to do so~
This particular costume is for the "Truth of Balance" act in the circus he's in. The show this act is in is based off of Journey to the West, which happens to be one of the writer's favorite tales. In "Truth of Balance", Hazuo is accompanied by two other contortionist, each of which represents an element. Hazuo is mist and shadow (water/dark) in the act, serving as the shadows cast by the mountains and trees that are enshrouded by the mist (which explains the blue on his costume). Being of Mist and Shadow he is often moved or protected by Wind and Light (Xia Tian, another contortionist), but Fire and Earth (Este, also another contortionist) make him fizzle out or hide. But as each element cycles through the mountains, he returns, holding a large bronze weight while poised in various poses. The entire act is about the balance of nature and how each element coexists with the other, in essence, one can create the other and in turn this brings harmony.
The song I used during the entire piece (which is listed above) is absolutely perfect for the act. I can visualize it so clearly with the music ajfsklf if only I could animate. ; __ ; I highly recommend taking a listen to it while looking at this, or just taking a listen. Its an awesome song and so beautiful.

I've got three actually. :D They were required for my life drawing classes~
The first is (and one of the best) is Artistic Anatomy by Dr. Paul Richer and Robert Beverly Hale. Its a really detailed book with lots of illustrations and everything.
The second is Drawing - The Head & Figure by Jack Hamm, its a bit of an oldie but has really useful tips and methods.
Aaaand the last one is The Human Figure by David K. Rubins, lots and lots of different illustrations of noses, eyes, etc. In the back they even have size comparisons between men and women as well as a child, and an old man! :D
