I thought Watanuki had like blackish grey eyes. Did he not? Am I remembering it wrong?

heyyy im from ProjectComment  
I really liked the style and the colors you used, and also the type of colouring!!
but the clothes kinda look difuminated  and there are some parts that are missing colour, i loved the detail arround the goldish part. its really nice.
The butterfly is really awesome, like from the style to the coloring and also the type of butterfly is just so cool, I CANT DRAW BUTTERFLYS   
anywaysssssssssssss the framework, even tho its simple its really nice same with the background, thoselight warm colours looks really nice.
His face looks like "hey im gonna kill u" but his pose is like, oh yeah peace n love bro XD
my summary: 1. teach me how to butterfly plz. 2.  I love your drawings

Heya, I'm here also on behalf of ProjectComment
So lets get down to it, shall we ^^ ? The overall sketchy style of the painting is a big pro, it gives it a quick cool confident feel. I like how some of the sketchy lines are more visible than the others.
Concerning the coloring itself the choice of colours is pleasing to the eye. The yellow in the clothing nicely complements the purple tones of the clouds, also the green nature motive on the clothing
complements the strong red colours. I am aware the style is sketchy alltogether, yet I think you should try to stay with the brush in the lines, so you get a crisper, a bit cleaner look.
Concerning the emroidery motive on the clothing, if you decide to add it, you should watch that the light/shadow of the motive itself matches with the lighting of the clothing.
The vivid colorful heterochromatic eyes make a nice contrast with the dark hair.

A few more pointers concerning the background:
The purple smoke is great! I love it. The butterfly though is unfortunately barely visible, I think a bit more color contrast could make it pop nicely ^^
I see you added your own watermark to the red circle already, but I think you should reposition it, it is a bit distracting there since its in the central focus area of the picture.

All in all, a very nice picture I absolutely like it ^^ Good job!

Hoi! I'm from ProjectComment

One of my favorite parts of this piece is the smoke effect in the back. If there one thing that artists struggle with, it's clouds. Despite the sketchy lines, this character is designed very well. If any thing ,the sketchiness of the character only adds to the entire art. The face looks amazing and I can't imagine how difficult that butterfly was. The eyes are very well done and there's a moderate medium between anime and realistically in the painting.

Now for the cons. I couldn't help but notice the gold designs on his outfit. Some parts of the pattern are overlapping with the yellow lining of the fabric (The entire pattern is not completed in some places too).  The "second" sleeve (aka, the kind of transparent cuff-sleeve-thing above the kimono sleeve) confuses me. It's almost like his arm should be at a different angle. The clothing, however colorful,, doesn't seem realistic. Nest time, try to add more wrinkles to his outfit. A lot of the colors don't align with the lines, giving the character an unfinished, blurry feeling. This is unfortunate because the framing of the painting is so clean and precise, meaning they don't fit well in the same artwork. If you make another piece of art like this, don't try to blend those two types of mediums together.  Do one or the other.

All in all. A good piece of art. keep it up!

Hello from ProjectComment !
Firstly I should warn you: I am from a totally different camp and I am neither into digital art nor into anime style, so this is very far from my field of expertise. But I have to say I really love this portrait. It has a 'cozy' feeling digital art rarely has. I like the sketchy appearance that by no means makes it rough or unrefined, and I find your colour choice worthy (for the lack of a better word) and exquisite. For my taste though I would introduce more reflexes, for example a little green from the artichoke (?) and red into the smoke, some purple into the golden parts of his clothes (the white/transparent parts are brilliant though) and in his hair...
And I do love his blue eye: it defies all logic being that bight, blue and uniform and entirely out of the whole colour scheme, but it looks great nonetheless. I would suggest making some blue reflexes on the butterfly as it looks a bit lost in the smoke.
And I am being mean, but the botton left fleur-de-lys of the frame is a bit misplaced
Anyway, keep up, you are doing great!
