That's really nice I like the background effect and his outfit in the wind.

Looks great, one of yours best, but I have a a few advices that could in the future make your drawings better ( in my opinion of course ). I hope you don't mind, I'm just trying to help. Anyway, here's my rant.

The background looks great, although the lower part, the blue in it should be a bit darker in my opinion.

The character is nicely shaded but it still lacks some things to get rid of the 'flatness' impression that it gives. For starters, even though his clothes are white, the sky would still be reflected on them making the side on his left have a bit of blue. Play with colours, use different shades, add random colours on top of a new layer and set it to overlay, see what you get. Things like that give drawings a more natural feeling.

His wrist seems too thing, but the perspective is not easy to draw so I am not sure I could've done better, hehe.

The next thing I'll say is the most important thing: NEVER paint a character separate of the background, work on both gradually, use colours from the background on the character and vice versa. My biggest mistake in the past was doing the exact same thing, and when I look back at my drawing I can't help but wonder wtf was I thinking.

Actually there's one more thing, very important: don't be afraid to get messy with the lines and brush strokes. Look at the clouds, messy often looks the most natural.

Done now... *poofs into a cloud*
