I think I ruined the drawing by doing this background...! Somehow it looks as if there were a Heiligenschein... I don't like it!

I tried to make the background look soft. I darkened the part where the background meets his shirt in order to make the shirt stick out against the background.

Well, the drawing is finished and it's crap! But I've posted it anyway (mostly because of the shirt, I really like his shirt).
