My First Anime Crush --- TRUNKS! <3 (fan art)
Back in the 90s, when I was in elementary school, there were a lot of trends that we enjoyed. Of course, some of them that I was so into were anime and boybands like BSB, Westlife and so on. The reason why I mentioned them was because my first anime crush was somehow connected to my favorite boyband members. haha
To name a few, I love Nick Carter of BSB and Brian Mcfadden of Westlife. Back then, they were so attractive and they both had this hairstyle called curtain hair, though it was called "one-length" hairstyle in my country. The young me thought, that hairstyle was so attractive, so when I saw this particular anime character with the same hairstyle, I found him really cute. LOL
Who am I talking about? It's TRUNKS of DBZ!!!! <3
Well, it all started with his hairstyle and his attractiveness. I thought he's especially handsome compared to all the other characters in DBZ... and I still think so even until now. haha
But he's not all that. He's got a really strong personality, too... Well, I guess it's because he was a spoiled brat at first because both of his parents were quite unique. Though, he changed as he became more mature or at least when he was his future self. What I like about him aside from his appearance was his intelligence. He was smart, perhaps it's in his genes from his mother's side of the family. Well, Vegeta was also quite smart in terms of strategies in fighting and all.
Anyway, so much for that, let me show you the art progress. :)
I started with this very messy pencil sketch. I used my A5 sketchpad, so I'll just color it with colored pencil later on. And since it's messy, I had to erase the pencil sketch before coloring it.
I originally wanted to color it before inking, but the details were tinier than I expected, so I decided to just finish inking first...
I rarely draw a full body fan art because I'm lazy, but I wanted to challenge myself. It would be a good practice for me as well. I decided to try drawing or painting every Sunday, so I'll make some fan arts from time to time as well. :)
Even though I'm the lazy type, I enjoy coloring very much! It's therapeutic!
And here, my friends, is my fan art for my first anime crush... haha
Recently, Akira Toriyama-sensei passed away and even if we collected all the dragon balls, we still wouldn't be able to bring him back to life. It's sad to lose such a legend in this industry. He has paved the way for many shonen anime and games. He has inspired a lot of mangaka and even fans from all over the globe. He might have been gone, but his legacy still remains and it'll always will. I'm grateful to him for making my childhood extra special... that even more than 20 years has passed, I still find joy in anime. I just turned 33 yesterday and I'm not getting any younger, but this world will always keep my heart young.
Thanks for reading and checking my fan art. See you around! (^^,)/

Really awesome though for the first time you've made your effort known. Still I think it looks extremely nice. I love these wonderful cartoon character fun arts. I hope the Lord gives you more practice and skill
Thanks a lot... I'll keep practicing! :D
you will try to again again and again
Same, I like Trunks. Haha
Yaaay!!!!
Hi! I think we, the 1990's generation cannot remove anime from our lives. It has been with us since childhood! If it's about anime crush, mine would be Detective Conan. May it be the young or teenage version of him.
❤️.
Belated Happy birthday by the way 😊
True... It was a part of our everyday life. We literally grew up watching them on TV... Ohh, both Conan and Shinichi versions are cool... Though, I'm more of a Kaito kid fan. 😎✨
Thank you... 🥰😍🤩
Waah!! It's Trunks (｡・//ε//・｡). Although he's not my first anime crush, he's my first crush in DBZ, I mean it's like crush-at-first-sight because he's looks sooooo cool...
Nice drawing btw ( ◜‿◝ )♡.
Ahahaha...
Trunks is indeed a really popular character... a lot of people's first crush from DBZ... :D
Thank you! ^^

Trunks from the future one of the best characters in Dragon Ball Z, he loses importance because of the power scale factor but he will always be in our hearts because of his presentation in the Cell saga, his design and his parents haha.
Now the best thing about him is his movie with Gohan, I don't know if you saw it, for me one of the best movies in db because we have one of the best gohan with the best trunks 😃/
Spanish
Trunks del futuro uno de los mejores personajes en Dragon Ball Z, pierde importancia por el factor escala de poder pero siempre estara en nuestros corazones por su preentación en la saga de Cell, su diseño y sus padres jaja
Ahora lo mejor de el es su película con Gohan, no se si la viste, para mi de las mejores películas en db porque tenemos uno de los mejores gohan con el mejor trunks 😃/
I'm not sure if I have watched that movie, but I like them together... I remember Gohanks fusion... My cousins and I used to imitate them when we were young... 😎✨

If you like this trunks version, the movie name is The History of Trunks

And Kamehameha is epic!!! Then we pretend to be super Saiyan by shouting and doing the pose... 😅😂😂😂

it was great! really an excellent job!
Thanks a lot!!! <3
Wow, love the artwork...
If you're looking for an anime crush, why not Gojo?
After all, he is the honored one...
Gojo-sensei is also my crush... the first time I read the manga, he was my fave. I haven't watched the anime, but when I saw his colored version, his eyes really got me! haha
Thank you!!!! :D
Multiple crushes...
A true rascal, aren't you 😂😂
I have a crush in every anime and manga!!! 😂😍 Hahaha
You did a really nice job. Future Trunks is one my favorite character in DB because of his personality. Can you draw Gohan?
Thanks... Trunks is a likeable character, especially his future self. :)
Gohan? I can try.. and Gohanks seems interesting to draw, too! ^^
Yeah, he is. Thanks you for taking into account my draw request of Gohan 😁
You're welcome... :) I might try it on Sunday during my day off... ^^
I love Trunks and even more when he predicts Goku's death. Something interesting is his good swordplay. :3
The drawing is very good.
He's such an admirable character, indeed! :)
Thanks a lot! ^^
I used to have a haircut like trunks back in the kid days😆

I can see why people like trunks more. It's his hair like you said. There are lots of people with similar hairstyles in real life as well like some Korean idols. Others have not so realistic hairstyles haha. My friend didn't watch DBZ with me because he disliked their pointy hair haha.
Kinda sucks that the new dragon ball super design of trunks is inferior to the DBZ version. Your art js definitely DBZ style. Kinda miss the old trunks. He was ripped AF too haha.
Hahahaha... this is so funny, but understandable! It's pretty unique, isn't it? But even Trunks get pointy hair in Saiyan mode... hahaha
I haven't watched Dragon Ball Super, though... but among those I've watched, DBZ was the best! :D
