For those who have many watchers, and for those who don’t have many, it is hard to know how one retains that interest as well as receive more. This article explores the basics of watchers and how we react to certain situations. Although it does not affect some deviants, and the tips are generally related to common sense, we hope the article is a worthwhile read and that the majority learn something from reading this.

Artist's Comments
Ok ok... but I'm allowed at least one 'ZOMG TEH HAWT ANIME MENZ WTFLMAOBBQ' picture, right?
Plus, it does have at least a -little- meaning to it. It's Roy from Fullmetal Alchemist, and seeing as he's the flame alchemist, it figures that rain is going to make him feel all vulnerable and stuff. Which is why i thought of Roy for this 100 challenge prompt ^^ It... may also kind of explain why he has his shirt undone... o_O ... heh nah, that's just to keep the rabid fans happy  So anyway. In terms of the picture itself... I don't think it's anything too special. The composition and everything is pretty boring, but I'm quite fond of the colouring on his skin. I didn't spend ages on it, but please crit anyway. I'd like to improve my technique and stuff  Done on Photoshop, a few hours' work. |

The colouring on the face is interesting, though you need to work on your shinies... the shirt looks a bit rubbery, and the coat looks very rubbery. We'll maybe talk about that sometime ^^.
Also his hair is surprisingly water-proof... when i get wet my hair usually goes very flat and sticks to my face with the weight of the water... heh ^^
Again, i love the colouring on the face, very subtle.
Good job ^^

Like Shady Esperanto and the young hearts carousel
The hardest part has always been to resurrect my soul
Lightning in my youth and the newest way just got old…
I never wanna get old!
And the rain actually looks like rain!

Drawing with a tablet is so fun once you get used to it. I've just had a look at your gallery and you seem to be really improving. One general suggestion... maybe you could desaturate your skin tones a little? I think that would make them more realistic
Anyway, I'm waffling... I'll shut up now -_-
Heh yes, quite a lot of mistakes with this one. And the magical non-flattening hair was actually intentional... it's one of Roy's few unique features and he just didn't look like him without the stick-out-fringe-y-thing-ama-bob.
But anyway, I'm glad you like it
Desaturate? Doesn't that completely remove colour?
I've got a CD/DVD with some digital art tips on that I'm going to use soon
