Edward Elric on Bench

Wow nice use of color... He looks especially hot in this picture. I LOVE EDWARD ELRIC... you should to.

TOTALLY AWESOME! This looks just like an animation cel! You're amazing! *faves*

8D Acrylic looks really good with anime. 8D

OMG THIS IS SO AMAZING!

the face is a little... big. BUT SO AWESOME I CANT MAKE SOMETHING LIKE THAT IM SO BAD AT COLORING!

Murph! Loveness x3 -favness!- woops broke the fav button again xD

this is great! the strokes are so fine it looks almost as if it was computermade.. :D

The colors look off somehow, perhaps a little too bright or saturated (or unsaturated? I get that mixed up...), and his face doesn't seem quite right - probably from a lack of outlines, but it looks really good. ^_^
It's so hard using paint! One of the first times I tried painting something, I realized how hard it is to get the correct colors, and even recently, years later, it's hard to get the lines right, since brushes tend to want to mess up everything.

Thanks for constructive criticism. The color saturation was intentional. I didn't want it to look muted or pasty. In the background I was going for an atmospheric haze that I obviously did not accomplish! You are right about the face. In most of my other drawings and paintings I have tried to keep the proportion correct but instead of using thick black outlines I tried to add depth by using shading. As you pointed out, painting is a whole different animal than drawing which I think I do a better job at. Thanks again and good luck with your work! You have an impressive gallery on DeviantArt!!!!

I think I'm gonna favorite this... maybe.

Great! Amazing job! It looks just like him! FAVS~
