Hey guys I'm making a final Fantasy CG collection of all the 7 main characters.
I have half of Auron down, and a full Yuna drawn, and I really like them.
But they're grid drawings, and I just want your opinion on this...
Do grid drawings take any skill? I'm super good at them, much better than creating characters off the top of my head.

Thats one intense grid you got there.
For the future, there isnt all that much wrong using a grid for compositional elements, or if exact replica is the goal of the piece but two things to consider next time you use one.
1. make the grid very very light, i can see it on your yuna piece still because you werent able to erase it.
2. The grid will help in positioning of stuff, so you dont have to focus on that as much, but it wont help value recognition. Take a look at your darks on the guy piece, they are no where near the same strength as the darks in the reference pic.

Both drawings look good, but are messy. I think you're using your hands a lot and you're smudging up the space around the characters. The shading on Yuna needs some work, unless that's how it looks like on the reference.

aaah yeah, on the reference it suddenly goes from really light on one side, then drastically dark on the other side, but you're right, it needs work
thanks man
