Cloud Strife - Burton Style by Ex-Soldier-Cloud on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

Hey everyone! Well I tried my hand at some Tim Burton style sketching...(He's the one involved in The Nightmare Before Christmas, Edward Scissorhands, Corpse Bride and many more movies...)

I really like how it came out, surprisingly. I love his style, it's so sketchy and sometimes vague, but it feels like there's so much more to tell within that sketch. It feels kinda creepy, but that's also what I wanted to get out of this sketch, 'cause whenever I see one his sketches, I feel a little creeped out, but intrigued at the same time...like how did this come to be?

I tried drawing Cloud Strife in his Advent Children outfit. The only trouble I really had was how to draw the sword in his style, so I just gave it a really rough sketch....Also most of this sketch is done in pen, which I'm very fond of, but I wanted to get that effect. For the head, I used 2B pencil and just went over it with a gel ink pen like what used for the rest of the body.

Tell me what you think! I really appreciate it. Comments, questions, constructive criticism, and suggestions are welcomed all the time!!!
