Final Fantasy Fan Art

Hello everyone!

Just got into digital painting over a month ago. I was only drawing with pencils before. Here are some of my Final Fantasy fan art. I'm currently working on more that I'm going to post here soon.

Thanks for looking!

It took you a couple weeks to reach a level with your digital painting that could take many others years to do. Quite astounding. As someone who's currently struggling with art, I'm kind of envious.

Really? Only after a few days of digital painting? >> well thats impressive. I've been using a combo of Photoshop and opencanvas for over 10years and I still don't know wtf I'm doing.

Thanks @Jrpg and @Daus!

The problem was I tried to apply the pencil logic in digital painting because I never really use anything else other than pencil before. I was trying to make precise lines, non-squiggly lines.

I can always rotate the paper to support my best strokes but I didn't know I could rotate the canvas in photoshop. So I just had to get used to the weird angles.

The best thing about it was the fact that I can paint over mistakes, realizing that gave me confidence.

I struggled on the first two days, trust me I was ready to quit. Hearing about me getting the "wrong" tablet didnt' help. I have a 27" screen and I bought the small Intuos5 which is recommended for 17" monitors. On the third day I just paint and didn't worry about erasing. I just painted over mistakes and it worked for me.

Actually here is screenshot of me attempting to draw my damn Miqo'te.
I spent the same amount of time on each one, it just took me 3-4 more days to design the armor of the last two.
