Description
EDIT: Thanks to all those who left comments! I edited the drawing considerably, first off my changing the angle and height of the arm, and lengthening the lower body. I'm considering lightening the skin tone too, but I'm not sure yet. Oh yeah, added random black squiggles to the background. I know the stomach still looks really flat, but it's really hard figuring out how to fix it...Haven't colored anything for a really long time, figured since I had time over Spring Break... decided to practice coloring and referencing.
For those of you who have been living under a rock for the past few years, this is Sai from Naruto. I had a very hard time getting the pose right, and I feel that something's just not right with the drawing... I really need to practice more basic anatomy and perspective, huh?

It's Sai!! Why do I like that character? I used to hate him so much...
Those face dimentions are great!

Thanks! I wasn't really a big fan of Sai in the beginning, but after he began acting more like a human being he's grew on me considerably. I'm anxious to see how his character development will go...

True. They probably should look like they stick out of his face a little bit more, eh? I'll try editing this when I have time next week... thanks for the suggestion!

Well, I think that lower part (the hand and belly) isn't that great, but it had to be a real pain in the ass... the perspective on the other hand is something, and I love your style of coloring!
And his face... that look... and... I dunno! Everything about the face! It's fantastic!!!

Yeah, I found it especially hard to work with since the drawing was so long. I will readily admit I put much more time and effort into drawing his face^^.
I probably need a photo-reference or something if I want to fix the anatomy at this point, 'cause I'm stuck!
Thanks for the comment.

Yeah, it is not too comfortable when it's so long... I had to download it for better view. But the face absolutely kicks ass!
You are welcome

It's always hard to figure out what dimensions to use for a "web" version of an image. The original drawing was like... 800 pixels across, which was nice because you could see the details in the face, but it was hard to grasp the entirety of the drawing. Ah well, it's a fine balancing game.

Yeah, I fully agree... 8)
Go you!!!

The angle and the perspective, wow I really like how it turned out so far. And your technique the the shading of the skin, and the expression really brings out the pic.
He is sooo Sasuke-fied in there. xD. TOTALLY LURVE IT! =3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I had actually considered making him Sasuke first, until I screwed up his hair at least 6 times. Then I just gave up and made him into Sai.

Ah!I was right!Just by looking at the head,I could already tell that it was Sai!This looks really well done!!
Looks pretty good!Keep it up!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha, it would probably be my failure as an artist if you couldn't tell who it was just by looking at the head... but then again Sai has a somewhat generic face, so that's a defense.

Wow! That looks great! So realistic, especialy the hair and the shine on the headband.

It's alright, thanks for the input. I think a big problem is because I have the left shoulder raised considerably... which would be fine if the rest of the body was viewed from a bottom-up perspective, which I think I failed to do.

try using the same colors as in the face, to start out with. then, you should really work with the line and shadows between the stomach and the arm. (hair and face looks good^^) ganbatte, ne.

Ah, I see. Normally I call it insignia, which is why I couldn't figure out what you meant. Thanks for the compliment!

Face and hair looks really good, but the hand and the stomach look kind of flat.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I had a lot of trouble with that... to be honest I really don't know how to fix it. Any suggestions?
