Hiromu Arakwa Artist Statement. I call this artwork by hirmonu arakawa Fullmetal Alchemist Brothers. I called it Fullmetal Alchemist Brothers because it depicts Edward Elric and Alphonse Elric, Two brothers from the manga and anime Fullmetal Alchmist (FMA). I simply used pencils, sharpie marker, and colored pencils to draw this.

 I was inspired to do this ever since I first read a FMA manga. The manga inspired me to continue and watch the anime; it has also inspired me to draw the artwork I did. I got my idea for doing this from my mangas. The message I tried to send was the relationship between to the brothers. I enjoyed working on this project; I had fun drawing something I like. I started out drawing in pencil from the top and started working my way down. Then I added important detail like the eyes and mouth and other details like shading. Then I traced everything in sharpie marker and erased all the pencil marks, to make it look more professional in a way. Then after that I colored it in colored pencil. I don’t feel like a did a successful piece for I have messed up in many areas like I made a couple things big than its supposed to be.

 Overall I did enjoy and had fun doing this project. I do believe I could have done a much better job with more time.
