Description After Return of Ivalice was announced for FFXIV which was based on FFXII and FF Tactics I decided i was going to complete final fantasy tactics: war of the lions which i had never finished on the PSP. After beating Tactics I decided to start playing other Final Fantasy games so I would be able to catch references in FFXIV as there are many. With Tactics completed and at the time working on FFX I decided I was going to try and draw a character from each game I finish. Either the main character or one that had a big impact on me... Or one that was op and got me through the entire game. After having major artist block for many months I finally sketched and outlined my drawing of Ramza. However i wanted to make copies of this drawing because my last attempts to ink an original drawing ended in disaster. Unfortunately our printer/scanner decided to take a huge dump and stop working.. So the completion of this drawing was long over due. But now that it is finally finished I can begin sketching for the next game I completed: Final Fantasy X
Not sure when the next drawing will be out but in the words of the great Yoshi P. "Please look forward to it"

Nice one 👍 My favorite game. And oh boy, i feel you 100% on losing a perfect drawing to an attempt to color. Excuse my vulgarity, but last month I colored something so horrendously, I may as well have shitted on it. Im still so mad about it.

Thanks! Came out way better than i thought it would! I was really afraid to ink the original because I was super rusty with my markers and last thing i inked i completely destroyed. 

Thank you very much for the fav!

Yeah... Im really sorry about that... been kinda busy/anti social for awhile... I can be anti social if i feel overwhelmed with stuff..

I can try to be more active. Trying to get back into drawing and I'm mad at myself for letting me get this rusty. (you should have seen the other things i tried doodling- well... its prolly better if you dont because they were really bad due to lack of practice. xD )

You're very welcome! It looks really good! I haven't even tried to ink traditionally because I know I would wreck the drawing lol XD

It's ok I'm always anti social except on here lol ^^

I would love to see more of your drawings Yeah, I try to not let myself get rusty at drawing. I do get lazy tho and not draw anything for almost a month lol. I'm sure they looked good even tho you haven't been practicing. Sometimes I get lucky when I go to draw after not drawing for a while and it comes out pretty good XD

Maybe I'll try it someday lol. I still haven't practiced inking with my tablet yet. I've only practiced sketching with it XD

Wow, that is a long time not drawing anything. I think the longest I've gone without drawing is about a month or a little bit longer than that ^^

My parents got me a tablet for christmas.... prolly 3 years ago... x_x; I am taking graphic design this spring so i will have a reason to sub to adobe again so ill have access to photoshop again. Yeah... not to proud of my lazyness when it comes to art these days ._.

How do you ink with a tablet? just coloring in? cell shading? 
If you got any tips for tablets id love to hear them cus i havent used one in... id rather not say...

Nice what degree are you trying to get? I'm still using Photoshop CS5 cause I don't want to sub lol. It's ok, everyone gets lazy with art sometimes. I've actually not sketched anything in almost a month currently. I gotta fix that lol XD If you stop subbing to adobe after your class you could always download free software. I've been using Medibang for sketching digitally because they have a stabilizer/correction thing to help your lines be smoother. I've also heard Krita is good too. You could also use Gimp. I haven't used it since high school because I got Photoshop, so I don't know how much better it has gotten ^^

I've had my tablet for years and I've just started using it recently lol. For inking you want to make fast strokes to keep the lines smooth, or you could also do short quick strokes and try to connect them to look like a long stroke. That's what I've seen people do in tutorials and speedpaints. You also want to rotate the canvas cause it can make it easier to ink certain lines ^^

For base colors I would just use a selection tool to fill stuff in to be faster, if all the lines are connected with no gaps. I'm not sure about cell shading because I haven't tried it yet, but I've seen people create outlines of the shading and fill it in, or use a brush to create the shape they want and fill in what's left ^^

Nice! Huh, that's interesting. When I took graphic design 1 we mainly used Photoshop and in graphic design 2 we mainly using Illustrator. I'm not sure if DA supports pdfs. You could try to upload a pdf file and see if it works. Nice That's ok, are you going to college full time along with working? ^^
