If you wish to fave it, I'm not here to stop you, but I rather receive comments, critiques & especially new ideas than faves ;) thanks!

That's right... I finally got back to my Zack drawing. :lol:

If I didn't get so many notes to work on this thing again, I wouldn't have worked on it yesterday. I'm not into drawing game characters as I used to be, so I'm finishing this 'sooner' just for you who waited for it.

Last update was on May 18th lmfao. I'm so sorry! ^^;
This time I worked on the metal of the sword!


This drawing will be my last Final Fantasy drawing. I'm working on it just for you. :heart:

Zack: *cough*

...and for Zack.

--------------------------------------


metal
It's very challanging to create something that looks like metal. I don't think it worked out the way I hoped it would be, but it got quite close. :)


Front part was done with an HB 0.5mm mechanical pencil. First I drew the lines in the same direction as the pattern of the metal itself. Then I blended it with a tissue, making small circles so it looks equal.
Then I drew strong and weak lines to (re)create the structure of the sword. That way I got that 'metal effect'.


For the top of the sword I used an H (light parts) and B (sharp dark parts) mech pencil. On the ref the forms weren't quite visible so I just drew what I thought would look well.


--------------------------------------

I wonder when I'll be able to post a next work in progress... :lmao:
