The goofy knight is portayed on thick paper

I got fed up with not being able to draw Sain, so I saved his official art to my computer, opened it, and zoomed in and then traced it. It works! Very simple method, and it has results. He looks pretty good. I had to adjust the contrast a lot in Photoshop, and that’s why it looks wrinkled. Compared to the one I drew next, he looks quite boyish.

Then I attempted to duplicate Sain’s handsome head with my own skills. As you can see, they are not quite adequate… I’ve done some analyses on this to discover where I went wrong, and it’s all in the little details of angle and so on.
