Ciel Phantomhive

Overall, I found this a very attractive work. I rated low-ish on originality because it's strong in echoing the original work, which this case is at least, not a bad thing.

I don't work in digital myself so I can't say much about your technique, but I rated you highly there because the end result looked to me as though you know what you're doing.

My only 'work on it' point is generally the pose, clothing lines and hair all feel a little stiff, if you know what I mean.That fits Ciel's character, but I suspect it wasn't done on purpose.If you could produce a Sebastian with, say, a lot of free movement implied in his lines and form, suggesting that wild, energetic demonic side he usually keeps under wraps, then I'd hush up and call it a deliberate technique, but I suspect it's part of your style and that you could benefit from 'loosening up' your lines a bit and get more of a feel of life, emotion and movement in your pieces.

Have you ever done timed sketches from a live model? Sometimes instructors will have you touch your pencil to paper and instruct you not to lift it and not to take your eyes from the model as you draw. Then you have like 5 or ten minutes to render the pose before the instructor calls time and the model strikes a new pose. This is a good way to develop that energetic line I'm talking about because the time limit forces you to look at the big picture to try and capture the entire line of the pose quickly. It helps to teach that a bit of exaggeration is a good thing in art. Otherwise you might as well use a camera.

Other than that I think it's a great Ciel, and I especially like his contract eye!
