My first fan art submission and CON's First Cid Highwind one from the looks of things

Artist Info:

Name:Frozen_Aura
E-mail:[email protected]
Media:Drawing in pencil-color, texture and cigar smoke in Photoshop 6
URL: None (yet...)
Size: 1991 W x 2400 H in px, 13.7M
Artist comments:Just decided to draw him without the jacket, as well as with a big cigar and fancy spear of my own making.

The sweatstains on the chest and the pits.... those lips.... and the dangling blonde armpit hair just didn't do it for me. The whole thing seems a bit.... simplistic? Still, not a bad first submission.

He's smoking blunt, has hairy armpits, short legs, sexy lips... The kind of badass Cid is. It's an alright attempt for a first drawing. Keep it up.

Touched it up a bit. Got rid of the armpit hair and the sweat stains, and made the lips smaller.

He still looks like a paper cut-out. There's no form to his body, even though it's twisted into such a weird pose.

It still looks the same, to me. I didn't see the changes.

Your Cid looks like it's been done by a grammar school art student, but it's definately a lot better than what I could do. Like Hamedo said, I see no difference between the two pics, they look exactly the same to me.

Apparently I accidentally deleted the old link when I posted the new one, so that is why they look the same.

Still, this was merely a practice means to get my drawing hand back into play, just a step in the trial and error process. Next quarter I will be taking some observational drawing classes so that will help a great deal. I do have plans to make some fan art to go along with my FF6 fan fiction, so honing my drawing skills is a must.

As far as the lack of form goes, I did all the shading in photoshop. Only the lines of the drawing were done by hand. If you have any suggestions as to how to give the drawing a more 3D feel go ahead and let me know.

It would be a very well done hieroglyphic pitures for an Egyptian King and Queen, is that a good compliment? I think so, it would be a master piece to them. It's a good 2-D drawing, but try to give him a form. 3-D like, it would look pretty decent, if you think 3-D is your thing, but it appears to me you like flat drawings. That's ok, as long as you like it.

Acts 2:38
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Chrsit for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost

Acts 4:12

Matthew 28:19
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost

Yeah I agree with you about the hieroglyphic style, though for some reson it reminded me more of the art that is commonly found on Greek pottery. Still I am looking to give the drawings more form to get that 3D feeling. It's possible that I should have done some of the shading by hand and not have done it all in the computer.
