Takeshi Obata is best known for his unique manga style that focuses on detail giving his artwork originality and a sense of realism.
Manga is usually defined by its distinct way of portraying features.
For example, the manga eye is cartoonish and is usually the largest and the most detailed feature on a manga characters face.
Takeshi Obata is unique as he focuses on using detail to portray his characters realistically. By adding detail, Takeshi Obata can bring out subtle features and expressions that usual manga lacks thereof.
The best examples of this can be seen in the expressions of Light Yagami, the main character in the manga Death Note.
Each individual mark provides subtle features that makes the expression more believable and human. As my character also leads a double life, I want to experiment with Takeshi Obata's style to find a facial structure that can easily convey good and bad intentions.
