This is an OLD picture. Originally posted here: http://shorty-antics-27.deviantart.com/art/Edward-Elric-77630824

I edited it to give it more of my own personal look (with the color and eye shine).

MAIN REASON I'M POSTING THIS IS THIS:

Video of the many Ed drawings I drew: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ye6ijTT-bTI&feature=youtu.be

(I didn't want to post all of those Ed pictures, so they are just in one video instead)

I drew Ed over 100 times, and from the video, I'm sure it shows at least 50 of them, if not more.

Edward Elric was my inspiration for creating Pierce. Also, because of drawing him so much, that's how I learned how to "copy" things down when I draw. My style also goes along with Hiromu Arakawa's style (creator of FMA), because of drawing Ed so much. So, whenever I draw in a manga-like style, I am told it looks like her style.

NO, I DID NOT TRACE THIS PICTURE OF ED. I LOOK DOWN UPON TRACERS WHO POST THEIR TRACED WORK. YES, I DID DRAW IT FROM THE MANGA. NO. TRACING. INVOLVED.

I've been accused of tracing before, so I just wanted to put that disclaimer out there. >8C

Ed was a lot of practice for me with getting to where I am today. :'D If you're having trouble in art, maybe try what I did and try drawing your favorite character MANY times. It helped for me. <3
