The Series

The series Death Note centers around a high school student named Light Yagami who discovers a supernatural notebook that allows him to kill anyone by writing the victim's name while picturing his or her face. The plot follows his attempts to become God by creating a New World cleansed of evil, using the book; the complex conflict between himself and all those who try to stop him.

Congratulations to "TheOrignigalL", who drew a picture of L!

The secretive artist brought us this great picture of L, which they drew while fighting off boredom. The sketch took them about thirty minutes to complete. We really enjoyed this submission for it's colors, and loved the shading of L's skin and hair. The artist informs us that they might upload some more drawings, and we certainly look forward to them! We'd like to thank "TheOriginalL" for this awesome entry, and hope we get some more!
