Description Originally named 'After a Hard Day's Work', this was around 2 hours sketching and colouring.

I was reading some of IDEA's doujins, whose artwork I really love (though some of you might pause if you know what I'm actually reading *coughs*) and was compelled to draw an Edward fanart afterwards. I'm not a real fan of any pairings, don't get me wrong, I just love Edward's character a lot and how IDEA portrays him interestingly. If it was a doujin with no pairings, only featuring Ed and IDEA's artwork, I wouldn't like it any less.

If you studied art, having to draw and sketch fully nude models, then nudity becomes something not to get so worked up about. so meh.

This picture portrays a quite young Edward, not long after they began their journey. And journeys can be tiring and in this picture I'm trying to convey the tiredness after a day of fruitless searching. It wasn't meant to be coloured but I did it anyways. You can tell usually what kind of drawings weren't originally meant to be coloured typically by how I would put more hatching/crosshatching strokes and generally it's more messy.

Anyways, despite some shonen-ai/yaoi influences when I drew this, I hope you will like the picture nevertheless. Enjoy!

~_~ I know....Edward & Alphonse's history is quite tragic and the events they went thru in the whole series really is quite compelling to read/watch. *angsty*

The shading on his face is perfect! He definitely looks tired, like he fell asleep with his eyes open. Really nice.
