Description My new OC Alerys
He has some real bad habits, quikly jealous, has lots of pride and doesn't hasitate to use his tail as a weapon. He has only one big weakness, and that's his fear of humans. When he sees one he quikly hides. He could pull in his tiny wings and his long tail, so he would look like a human a bit. His horns can't be pulled in.
Unlike Akashiro Alerys can't fly and he really hates that, he also wants to be a full demon but a lack of demonblood makes that impossible for him. That's one of the reasons Alerys hates Akashiro, because Akashiro could evolve further, but doesn't want it and Alerys could not evolve further.

Also: First drawing without using lines ^^

Very interesting! I really like the denim texture in particular--they look just like actual jeans. I think that the rest of the picture could benefit from also being textured similarly, so the jeans don't stand out quite so much.

I get the lineless feel you were going for, but I think some more shadows would make this picture feel more complete--for example, where the wings meet his body, you could add some darker shadows, and his skin needs some more shading too. His face, in particular, almost looks featureless.

His hair is also a bit too stringy--I think that if the ends of his hair looked more spikey, about the width of the spikeys on his arm, with lines inside of them separating them, it'd look better. His hair is also literally yellow--was that intentional, or did you mean to make it blond?

The horns that I think are supposed to be sticking out of his head seem to be floating behind it, and are uneven considering his head is tilted. I'd draw in some more hair that goes behind the horns, that would make it look like they are coming out of the sides.

His upper arm is almost a little too long, and I think his neck is a bit wide for how skinny he is, but otherwise he doesn't look too bad anatomically.

Overall, good work. Keep practicing and you'll get even better (:

They are a sort of bones that come out of the back of his head, to a bit over his forehead...

Hi, I'm here from

First off, anatomy. It's pretty good all over, I really like the way he's standing (though it might be a bit exaggerated.
His left leg does an odd kind of break halfway up his shin. It seems like the lower part should be moved closer to his other leg so that his bones are straight.

I would've given his crotch slightly more space. Not much, but even lowriding jeans wouldn't be quite so tight I think.

The positioning of his hand is rather off. When you're having your hand in your pocket your wrist is generally rather relaxed and bends in the opposite direction, downward.

His head is pretty well done, but I do think that his bangs bulges out a bit too much. They seem a bit oversized.

My last comment on the anatomy is the placement of his horns. I''m not entirely sure where they're placed, but it looks a bit odd. The ones on his right side should be placed higher than the ones on the left.


I can see in your comment that you're trying to draw without lines. Yay you! It's fun (and very challenging if you're used to lines) to draw without lines. However, it's very important to remember the contrast. When there aren't any lines you need to use shadows and contrast that much more to define the figure. For example, the silhouette of the folds on his jeans are beautiful. But add darker shadows to the folds as well and then it'll work much better.

Great job! I really like the "swagger" he's got. Keep on drawing

I hope you could use the critique I had to give ^___^
Cheers
Ida

So...this boy is really skinny XD Anyway you wanted critique from me (but I'm so bad in critiques )
So here goes!
First of all, the colors are stunning and I love how you did the hair, but the socks need some more detail/texture (I think so XD I'm bad with humans but whatever)
Also, I suggest adding a bit more -errr- texture in the wings. I see you already did but you could add more details [link] like here. BTW the wings look kinda paper-ish to me, and I don't see bones. So I believe you should make them kinda visible too XD

I also think that you should make the nose more visible, but that could be his design XD
Anyways I think overall this is a good piece and I'd love to see more from you.
