I just recently drew this pic of Edward Elric. Creative criticism is badly needed and wanted.

P.S. I already know that his hands don't look great. XD

*Cough* *Cough* *Crotch*

I don't think it's Ed's style to wear loose clothing.
Every time I've seen him, he's wearing tidy collars and such.
But otherwise, it looks all right so far. Let's see some color!

Might just be me, but his legs seem really spindly. His waist is also pretty narrow, considering the size of his torso.

* His eyes look girlish. It's probably the line you drew right above his eyes, which are too thick and too close to his eyes making it look like he's wearing makeup or something. They should've been drawn more lightly at least.

* The problem with the hands is that they look like squid tentacles, and the nails are awkwardly placed and tiny. Hands take practice to draw, and it helps to simply draw the hands the way you want it by using your own hand as an example.

* The two lines going diagonal between his legs where his zipper should be makes it look like he's got an itch on his crotch, plus the fact it doesn't look like he's holding his jacket. You should get rid of those two lines or everyone is gonna see a guy scratching at his balls.

* His legs are disproportioned to his body. They look like an anorexic girl's legs. Since he's wearing pants, making the width of the paths larger will fix the problem.

I don't think his shoulders are that broad. Might want to slant the line a bit.

Well you can definately draw hair better then I can, but you need to learn how to draw better hands. and yea, I agree with the above posts, the eyes are too girlish.

on an off-topic sentence, who is Ed? I read a lot of manga, but still. I am guessing he is from full metal alchemist(I haven't read the manga yet, but I recongnize him from one of the pics I saw of the manga, although yours is a bit off.) Seems he is pretty popular with cp girls, you are the second fan I seen.

ps: just to be sure, this is the guy you are trying to draw, right?

Yeah, that's him. FMA is an anime show that's been on the Adult Swim for a while now. A lot of people seem to like it, but personally I don't care much for it. No, no, no...

This made me laugh so hard. I do see your point though, he does look like he's kinda scratching his balls. XD

Thanks for the compliment on his hair, and I have been practicing drawing hands. Not making much progress, but at least I'm working on it.

I never really thought that his eyes were girlish, but I'll try fixing that too.

In addition to that, i think there are too many un-necessary wrinkles in his clothes---mainly on his left (our right) arm. It's being held out straight, so unless there's supposed to be wind depicted in the picture, his sleeve shouldn't have folds in the middle or the end. Maybe a bit in the shoulder (which you already have ^^) But otherwise, good job.

And, yeah... the "crotch wrinkle" should be removed... and possibly burnt....

Dude, how much FMA fanart doesn't have Ed look girlish?

Personally, I think it's a good start for a first draft. I would definitely say work on the mid to lower regions just to get them a bit more in proportion.
The face, while a little too long for someone his age, was a very good look-alike attempt. At least we know who it is you're trying to draw, and that's not as easy with anime fanart as some seem to think it is.
