Description I've arrived to the firm decision that I should spend less time complaining about how bad I am at drawing, and actually use that time to practice on my drawing.

So I got off my lazy haunches and did just that.

So I picked Tifa Lockhart from Final Fantasy VII as my first practice sketch, and personally, I'm really proud with how it turned out. I mean, I didn't even think I'd make it this far. Just goes to show that effort is required for decent results.

Drawn in Pencil
Took over 10 hours spanned across 5 days

Any advice is much appreciated.

PLEASE NOTE!
This drawing was NOT traced.
It was SKETCHED.
This means that I attempted to draw the picture again on a separate piece of paper by looking at the original.

...The eyes look strange... And I see her boots're smaller than the originals...

That aside, I still do some of my work in the same way you did this. Nice to see you're improving!

diskfire In reply to Zippy-Zipper [2012-01-06 19:03:30 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I realized what I did there. Thing with the eyes is that I always have problems in symmetry, so I couldn't make the curves even out. When I got to the boots, I messed up in proportion because my arm was covering the rest of the drawing XD *triplebrick'd*

Still, I don't think it turned out too bad. Thanks!

I'm not that good.
This is a sketch. I didn't draw this from my head.
But thanks.

Now that's real improvement! She looks almost perfect. Don't worry, I'm still struggling with proportions, too.

^ Sweet. I need to do that more myself. xD

Not bad by the way. The shading is decent.

diskfire In reply to TacozMonkey [2011-03-16 00:47:02 +0000 UTC]

Thanks a lot, that means a lot to me.
Yeah, I was afraid I kinda messed up on the feet area. It was hard to focus on the proportion to the rest of the body.
Thanks again!

TacozMonkey In reply to diskfire [2011-03-16 00:49:25 +0000 UTC]

np, I'm terrible at drawing so her feet would have been ten times bigger than her head if I did it. The feet are the hardest xD
