    I don't have a scanner so please excuse the mediocre quality.
    First time posting in this section, don't be too hard on me LOL.
    Not my best but I decided to post it. I see the flaws in it but I want CnC anyways thanks

    There's a first time for everything, this section is quite fun actually :3

    I really like Lightning's left eye (our right). it is well drawn and i do like the way it looks, the eyelashes are well done!

    The only problem is proportions, and i admit, they are a killer sometimes. But practice will result in improvement, and improvement will result in accomplishment. I think you can find info on proportions online if you need references for the future.

    It's understandable if you don't have a scanner, but it looks like it was held up, maybe if you took a picture of it on a table, that would give it a more scanned feel.

    You said "Not my best", so i assume you have made more art. I would love to see it!

    I did enjoy seeing your fanart, i do hope you make more! Keep it up and remember practice, practice, practice!

    This is really quite nice! It must've taken you a while to draw! I really like the effect on the hair, the way it goes behind her neck is really well done! Although I feel that she looks like she has a bit too much muscle on her left arm.
    Other than that it's great!

    Yeah, the proportions are the hardest for me. I am good with faces and eyes for the most part. It took me longest to draw the arms and I know they need work because I am not happy with them haha. Yeah, I have more art, I'll get around to posting it sometime. Mostly paintings and sketches though. Thank you for all the kind advice! :]

    Thank you, yeah the arms are the hardest. I need to practice proportions. Her left arm was annoying, I'm totally not happy with it. I think the right one is pretty good for the most part though.

    This is amazing. I really like it. It is drawn in a way that I'd draw her if FF13 was a cartoon. (LOL) anyway, keep practicing and one day it'll look exactly like the real thing.
    That may have sounded harsh, but here's what I go by when I draw:
    If you can tell what it is without giving it too much thought, then it's good.
    Keep it up and I'd love to see your other art! :)

    Nonono it's not harsh, there is always room for improvement.
    And yep, so in other words, just let it come to you. Gotcha.
