Practicing semi realism

I´ve drawn him like chibi, but i never had the courage to try to do it...until now.  His jacket was a never ending task, but i had a lot of fun!!   Sometimes i think i should try to do that kind of laces with a Photoshop brush, but i had a lot of fun trying to interpretate them.

For those that not know him, he is ZIN, vocalist of the j-rock band Jupiter.
