Uhm, wow. Another awesome artwork from you! I love his eyes specially! Great look he has going on... its sexy and seductive, with the other sleeve of his shirt missing. *fans myself*
Awesome painting of the lineart! You brought the sketch to life. The background reminds me of a japanese festival for some reason but I cant put a finger on it. Probably because it reminds of the the fireflies at night ^__^
You're very detailed with the light and shading here as well. The small details, such as his bracelet and fingers show that you didn't rush to make this one. (You spent a day and a half! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/e/e⦠" width="15" height="15" alt="

Hi,Β

I love this the background is my only negative really. The background in its simplicity makes it look rushed or that it could no longer be bothered with after the detail of the character. With that said the detail in the face, eyes, hair and hat all let me speechless. The jewelry glove and half of the shirt also caught my attention however it was a little less detailed and shaded which is why it did not get a shout out in the first picture. The eyes leave me wondering along with most of the rest of the picture keep up the good work and have a nice day

Another well done piece of work, though I must say the half you did was done well. The colours stand out perfectly and it certainly has a feel of someone who's a lady's guy, which is what I assume you were going for. However the background could do with some work. I would recommend that instead of little circles of light (which could be mistaken for fireflies or poorly done stars I can't tell) you should try something like a star night with little dots in the sky with little swirls of colour to make it look night because the current background doesn't seem to fit this piece of art, but again good work.

So, even though you have someone else do the line art for you I think you could clean it up a little bit. the lines are very defined and sharp and I think you could use shading lines that match the color of the portion of the image to make them softer and more appealing. Especially in the clothing, I think just simply changing the black line art to a purple hue could make the image look less choppy and more fluid. Otherwise, your shading is good, though it could be blended a bit better. I agree with one of your other critiquers, the background clashes with his clothing and should probably be adjusted.

I didn't give you more stars because i think the rest belongs to the person who did the lineart for you.
So you make the coloring right ? It's not bad at all, i'm at the same as you and i think you place very well the shading. This one could be a little more rough because it's anime style. It's more use and looks a little better, even if you can still blend the border to make the same as this work.
I'm not fan of the background, maybe more purple gradient would have fit him with his jacket /clothes.

Since you just worked on the colors in this piece, I'll focus on that. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s⦠" width="15" height="15" alt="
First off, I really like the concept that this piece takes place at night. It gives a great change to use different lights and light sources, which you've seem to have done already. And speaking about light sources, it's clear that you have one main light source (coming from the left), and have introduced different colors in the skin, hair and clothes to reflect that (that's what I'm assuming, at least).
The shading you've done seems pretty spot on, and awesome job on having bounce light. That really helps bring dimension to the piece. The way you handled the strands of hair is well done, too, so good job !
I like the story and that seems to be in this piece.
The biggest thing that stands out to me is that even though the sky is dark blue, he isn't affected by that color at all - everything (aside from the pink from the presumed source light) seems to have retained it's local color, even in the shadows. If something is surrounded by a color that much, it's color would be affected, and by doing that, it'll help him fit more into the scene and his surroundings.
The second thing I'd suggest fixing is your shadows, primarily in his hair and on his skin. The shadows on his clothes are pretty deep, so pushing the contrast of the shadows in his hair and skin would help unify things, and will make the overall piece stand out more. Contrast = interest. The skin is almost there, but there's almost no shadows in his hair.
On the topic of shadows, they would be more interesting if they weren't just a darker shade of the local color. But having the shadows warmer (ex. adding red) or cooler (ex. adding blue), it would not only look more interesting, but would also unify the piece, further establishing that they're all being affected by one light source. In this piece, the shadows would be affected by the sky, as I mentioned earlier, but I just wanted to mention it again.
Overall, I think you're off to a pretty good start. Just remembering that colors affect each other and pushing the shadows would help. The fact that there's story in this piece and that it can to relate to the character and his characteristics shown in this line art is also a great start. So good job !

Okay, first of all, I think that this is a really awesome picture. I think you did a really great job with it :] It all looks very mysterious and shmexy~
I love the background, a glowing, intriguing night, out of focus and somewhat reminding me of timcampy e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b⦠" width="15" height="15" alt="
You also did awesome on his expression, and the shading is great too! I also like how you added that quote in the description :]
The only thing I don't like about this, is how you can see the line of his nail through his glove. I just feel like it isn't needed, and it makes the fabric seem like it would be super thin and flimsy, and if you didn't see the nail, it would make the fabric seem thicker, and more like a normal glove. But that's just my opinion e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b⦠" width="15" height="15" alt="
Anyways, awesome work ^_^

Outstanding work!! I love how the background gives it a feeling of wonder and mystery. Plus, it kind of reminds me of fireflies. The colors are well blended and usage of the lighter tones against the darker backgrounds really helps to make it pop out on the page. The shading is well done and gives the picture a three-dimensional tone to it. I also like the combining of thicker and thinner lines in the line work because it gives it depth and helps the character to stand out on the background. Overall, I think you've done a truly amazing job

This looks great! I love the background, it's dark and very secretive...I think. And it goes well with the light and standing out character.
It would be better if you could work on the hair, but other than that everything looks amazing! I like how the colors blend together very well.
And the lines you used, curvy, and straight, it's a very great technique you used. I'm not so great with this kind of style of art, but wow, this one is great!
But can I ask what kind of art this is? Other than the fan art, that is. Overall, AMAZING!

Thanks. I'm still trying to get better at hair. I'm not to sure what else you could call it. Β Since I'm being a lazy boob and just coloring everything. I don't think I've actually drawn anything since getting my tablet <.<
