FFVII: Cloud Strife Sketch

I have an idea for a FFVII tribute fanart floating around in my head at the moment; problem is I've never actually drawn the FFVII characters before o_o;. I drew this using some references to learn how to draw Cloud, really. In order to be able to draw without a reference later on, generally I have to draw a character once or twice with references, depending on how difficult the character is to draw.

... I must say, the FFVII costumes are a *lot* easier to draw than FFX costumes... It's like Square's trying franctically to design a costume that they cosplayers will never be able to reproduce! XD

*EDIT* 27th May: Adding 'sketch' to the name so I can submit another deviation with the same name. Whoops...
