Description
...this started out as a copic and paint illustration, but I decided I didn't like the bg color I originally chose, which led to another color contrast issue, so...digital work it has become.
Anyway, I like Draco. He is a mean kid who can be a brat, and he can be ruthless in the social sphere-- but he doesn't actually harm anyone seriously (taunting notwithstanding). He's an interesting character, too, since he's been brought up among peacocks and silks all his life...so yes, very interesting contrast to the hard-working other chara's we see.
Anyway, I'm up for (gentle) critique. What do I mean? I mean that if his (XYZ) looks funny, I would appreciate it if you gave me an idea of how to fix it.
If it's not possible this time (and I don't mind editing~!), I will at least keep it in mind for the next one.Edit: played with contrast a bit and considered reshaping the shoulders. Thoughts?

It's like he's looking out of a window, and I like the way you drew the light and shadow especially in his skin color. Other artist always try to get it as smooth as possible, but I like your way better. I have only a little critique. For his character I would have made the shadows darker cause his character is as you said so shady and I think he has rather slender shoulders^^ But maybe that's just my opinion. Anyway a charming painting

Thank you my dear! I really enjoyed your comments and thought I'd give a try at adjusting color and contrast a bit. I also shrunk his shoulders so they match a bit better, but my excuse mostly is the robes. They're big and bulky, hehe. ^^
Thank you my dear~ I'm glad you like the texture~! It's the best part about real-media. ^^ but I'm afraid editing it too much often means we lose some of the texture, so in fixing contrast I might have lost some. Hope it still looks all right.

Yeah real media really has a lot of advantages I tried to paint on PS a Tokyo ghoul fan art but it's just not the same... I think it's fine how you mix it

Tokyo ghoul~ I should watch that. 
hehe, I just dunnno how to do only PS. It's baffling, isn't it? Though I guess we could figure it out..e.ventually...

I know Photoshop is so complex, the first time I used it I was completely perplex ^^
And Tokyo Ghoul is absolutely worth watching! I've learned the opening song on piano and a good friend of mine who has an amaaazing voice sings the song although our Japanese is barely good enough to order some sushi

I love all the small details you have done like the blonde eyelashes, and you really seemed to capture his personality!
