So here you see Luffy and Ace, whom I was supposed to draw for a friend. : D
The pose was really heavy! > _ << br /> The first sketch was a disaster!
That's why I started all over again and this time I used this reference picture to help:

Incidentally, the Japanese characters are called brothers / brotherhood / fraternity. ^^
I drew it there because the picture somehow seemed so empty and something was simply missing. ; D
Hope you like it. :)
