Natsu Dragneel

An original fanart of Natsu from Fairy Tail for one of my best friends <33 I still haven't watched the series and don't actually plan to so drawing a character I don't know is still difficult...especially this guy o_o

So...mini story...
One of the most awesome mentors and relatives of mine got me some Copic ciaos the other day, and I was so thrilled *^* I feel so fortunate and grateful to have loving people around me who take time and effort out of their lives to give me such things ;w; 
Anyway...this is my first go with these new ones, so it was quite a confusion on how to use them o_o but it was a great experience and I hope to learn more as I progress. I have limited colours so I had to use other things like coloured pencil and watercolour to blend in some parts;;

The supposed to be fire was done with watercolour pencils though// I think I made him look a little too...mature in my style D:

Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays to everyone, and have a wonderful New Year <3
