Hey Starfall, so I see you want a critique on this and since I've got time I thought "okay well let's go for another one!" e.deviantart.net/emoticons/d/d… " width="21" height="15" alt="
It's a relatively simple drawing as far as I can see, and for the sake of assessment I'd like to think of it as being like a cover for the fanfiction it is inspired by. That way I can also tell - as someone who hasn't read it - what impression it makes and how much I'd like to read it myself.
First off, vision for me is what I love most about your art. I have noticed that one frequently seen type of your backgrounds consists of a white/grayish colour that really makes up a soft and peaceful atmosphere. I refer to "reclaim your crown", "peace", "we're beautiful now", "behind", "until the end" or "mint", just to name some examples. I love how most of the times those backgrounds are blurry and the colors are soft and that the light mostly blends in with the character. They create a sense of space, dream, infintiy and unknown happenings.
It's no big difference here. The background supports the character's mood and those subltle gray lines indicate a direction and, more importantly, a sense of velocity and just things happening, a world turning and life moving on and passing by.
As a first humble suggestion, I think this existing sense of mouvement, the overall atmosphere and the correlation with the title could be improved by a (cold) wind that blows through and influences the hair and especially the scarf!
Also, referring to the idea of it as a cover, I really feel like something's missing. I like that little title and how you've designed it - and I especially approve of the flower petals behind it! But I think you could generally add a little more detail to tell more about the interesting title and how it correlates with the character and overall series! The backgrounds feels kinda empty to someone who wants to know more about the story. Something that gives a hint about why the character looks the way he looks and so on. I hope you get what I mean! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="

With that last statement I have already touched upon the subject of originality. And apart from that, I don't think I have much more to say? I don't really look out for originality in drawings honestly, as you know I always notice atmosphere, vision and especially impact! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/m/m… " width="15" height="15" alt="
About technique. Well, I need to admit that I flippin love the way you're drawing human noses! That's exactly how I like them the most either, and I'm sure I'm not the only one here? just a bold guess e.deviantart.net/emoticons/m/m… " width="15" height="15" alt="

Honestly, in what concerns the character and your technique, I haven't discovered any imperfection whatsoever. You've improved so much, and I remember spotting maybe a small proportion mistake and or that little thing to mention in the last drawings I critiqued - but here I've got nothing to complain about! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="17" height="16" alt="
Wait. Okay, maybe one little suggestion that I think could improve the depth of the drawing: A little more shading especially on the scarf or the clothing. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="
And then impact. I'm going to summarise what I said and just think of the cover example again: Especially the character, how you've drawn him in darker colours in a contrasting background, how you've drawn his gaze, him being tired and just the overall feel created in this drawing, it really makes me interested in knowing more!
Finally, I still think that there is room to capture even more interest, especially with the curious title and its correlation with the character and the story.
But as a drawing itself, it really is one more awesome, mysterious and beautiful piece of art as always! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/d/d… " width="21" height="15" alt="

aHHhH THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR CRITIQUING ILY??
om g so much good advice i dont know where to start,,,
i hadnt even noticed that soft atmosphere was a common thing i did!! it makes me so happy that you notice all these little things, i cant describe the feeling!
and!! you are! so right!! i felt that it was a bit empty too, i actually played around with the scarf flying out behind him but couldnt get the cloth to look right, plus i was lazy hahaa ^^''' i didnt even think about trying out ways to emphasize more of the story; that is something i will definitely consider in future drawings! thank you so much hhhh
ahh i also love this style of human noses as well! the anime this fic is based on has a nose/mouth/eye style that i just adore, and it largely inspired my own "style" haha.
gOSH ALL THESE COMPLIMENTS ARE MAKING ME MELT ;;;;; again im so thrilled to see you point out all the small details!! you always know exactly how to give advice as well as encourage the artist, please know i appreciate every word you write ;;O;;

Oh and HAHA yees oh god that kind of laziness when you could still draw it if only you sticked to it long enough who can't relate I always begin checking the internet and then slowly but surely I lose focus haha
You're very welcome!
