Description
Check out the contest! Ends August 14th! www.deviantart.com/arkeriel/jo…
Back at it again with the sporadic uploads ;D This is Arkeriel's character Iak, who is an angery boy with a passion for music. I drew him in his house, enjoying a quiet music session. But, after looking at this guy's history a bit, I found out he has a half-sister, that he "accidently" killed! So, I decided to create a kind of "illusion" effect. Here, Iak is enjoying himself, but everything is not as perfect as it seems. A through-the-glass effect shows that even if everything seems ok, it may not be through the other side of the mirror. Iak is said to miss his half-sister, but does he deep down feel really guilty and upset that she's dead? No one would know, because you're only seeing through one side of the glass.
This took me a while! Second time doing shading of any kind, and I'm happy how it came out! The paper that I was drawing on also was too big for my scanner, so the top and bottom are a little cut off 
I hope you enjoy it though!

You're definitely getting better and better with these!
Only things I could suggest is:
Increasing the size of the right hand (his right, our left) as it seems a little small compared to the size of his arm, but it may just be the perspective
Pull the elbow slightly further up and back - it makes the left arm seem a little too long where it is ^^
Other than that, I love the way this turned out! Even though this was several months ago, nice work

Aa thank you for your suggestions! Yeah, I had trouble with his arms in the first place, and knew I had messed them up a little bit xD Still struggling with arms and hands!
Thank you again!

I used to occasionally do it to certain words, but not as an entire writing style like you do ^^

You definitely did your research for my boi! This looks great, I adore the concept of the whole thing and how you've connected it with his story even with just minimal information ^^
The pose you picked and his expression look great- I'm seriously in love with this piece-
