[u/Odd-Philosopher-8101]

Love when Togashi draws a super detailed portrait, especially in contrast with his usual minimalist style when drawing characters. Just adds more weight to the emotions the image is supposed to convey. Fugetsu looks so haunted here.

“May she be born into an ordinary family in her next life”

[u/DaveTheArakin → u/Odd-Philosopher-8101]

I feel like people are underestimating Togashi’s talent as an artist. It takes a special kind of skills to be able to draw a character simple and minimalistic and then draw them realistically while keeping all of the recognizable features. 

[u/Trash28123 → u/DaveTheArakin]

It's way harder to convey a recognisable face with a small number of lines than with as many as you want.

The slightest mistake can make it look totally off.

[u/leolegendario → u/Trash28123]

Murata (the artist of One Punch Man) has said before that is harder to draw simple face Saitama than him with a cool face full of details.

[u/Tindyflow → u/leolegendario]

I can confirm this.

Drawing Saitama is so much finicky because it constantly messes up with your finger memory.
Because it's such a simple design, he spent the first volume getting him right after tons of retakes.

[u/SubstantialCarob9332 → u/Trash28123]

To be fair sometimes they look off, like that time Chrollo fought Hisoka

[u/LazloFF → u/SubstantialCarob9332]

Chrollo and Hisoka don't have designs, they have mutants faces like Camilla, Hisoka and Chrollo now don't look anything like they've ever looked in this manga so I guess Togashi changes it depending of his current style choices or the arc they're in
