One Year Detail by owletstarlet on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

Description

Detail of the "One Year" panel from my piece "Sinners".
Reference was from FMA chapter 24, and even though I'm not yet comfortable not sticking to references as closely as I can (still learning to draw and hopeless without references), I could not for the life of me get the hair right, so some alterations were made for my own sanity's sake. Dear little 11-year-old Ed had such doofy, difficult-to-draw hair... Ahem. Hopefully with more practice I won't have to stare at a reference until my eyes shrivel up and die.

But yeah, this scene with Ed and his brave-face for Al's sake right before the automail surgery just about killed me. Poor thing.
