Fullmetal Alchemist - Envy

Artists

Artist's Comments

I drew this at work a while ago and only recently scanned it into my computer. I was shading in his clothing and decided that I wanted to refine the sketch, so I went over it in Photoshop.

I may eventually put a background on this picture (and something for him to be sitting on so he's not floating), but I don't think I'll be colouring it. I like him in the stark black & white.

Very nice anatomy, though the arm on the right looks a little awkward in the bicep area. The muscle structures are really nice, especially in the legs! I've always adored Envy, and I think you've captured him really nicely here. [emoticon]

Thanks for your comment. I don't see anything much wrong with his arm - the muscle there is relaxed and would dip at that point, if that is what you are referring to. Of course, I didn't work with a reference and pulled the pose right out of my head, so I can't say there's nothing wrong. I was just going by my sense of anatomy there. Thanks, though! ^^ I'm glad you like the drawing.

It was just the way it comes out from his shoulder somehow to me, looked like it bulged out oddly...
Here... I think this explains why it seemed that way to me. It's not a big deal, obviously, just one of those line choices that can make things awkward.

Very nice! As ever, I am in awe of the lines. One day I will have to pick your brain for pointers. I just love how your lines are so crisp and clean, yet you get a sense of the artist behind them, not the pen tool. Don't know if that makes sense...things like the subtle cross-hatch shading! Neat!

And his eyes! Yep, Envy is not a creature I'd like to cross.

Thank you, my dear! The linework in this one is pretty snarly for the most part. I just work on a very large image and then shrink it - it makes the lines look better. No real magic to it or anything. :wink:
But I'm glad that you like it! Yes, you'd definitely want to stay on Envy's good side!

Some how I really love this sketch. yes I think you should add a background when you have time as it will set the subject matter
