For the most part, it is really good. The coloring is very near the original and the expression is beautiful. I see little to no contrast and there is no background, which I would have liked to see at least a hint at. The proportioning looks well developed, but poorly presented. Ed's automail arm needs to be longer to match his other arm, both arms are a little thick for this character, and there is no really curvature like there is in the actual animation. The arms look really flat for him, as if he decided to just stop fighting and ate corndogs all day instead. Now, with the legs, you got the basic idea down, but foreshortening is a bitch. It's obvious you have not practiced all that much with a real model in the pose. I suggest trying to draw from real life when you want to attempt to draw a new pose or a semi complicated one like this, you will find it is a lot easier to do so this way. With a laid back expression like this, I would love to see some more horizontal lines put into play, even if just worked into the clothing a bit more, I see mainly diagonal lines which creates a feeling of both calm, and anxiety, had you used more horizontal lines, you would have created a flow in your work that would create a more relaxed feel. The shading on the clothing looks great, well done and well proportioned. The shading on his arms, sorry I'm picking on them again, is not that great, you got the idea out there, but the way you shaded them leaves it feeling a bit flat.

Thanks for listening and please don't take it personal. I just want to help you improve. Feel free to message me if you don't understand any of the terms or ideas I brought up.
