Smiling With His Eyes by @RionaDaidouji (Riona Daidouji)

This was an experiment of mine... I wanted to see if I could show more emotion through the eyes of the characters I draw... I figured Nuriko would be a good person to try this with, since a lot of people say that his smile doesn't reach his eyes. I realised that this was true, and decided that I wanted to see his smile actually reach his eyes. I think I did pretty well! ^^ Please tell me what you think.

The only thing I REALLY don't like about this pic is the way I drew the bangs.... You can't tell at first glance, but his bangs are drawn as if his head was straight.... Which it isn't.... Unfortunatly, it's much too late to fix that. cries I don't like the background much, but it gives me the effect I want, so I guess I shouldn't complain.
