After following Kaylin’s group shot tutorial, I managed to put together this: The Beasts of Burden; Ursus Major, Guerilla Gorilla, Dragonlady, Red Fox, Equus. It’s not perfect, but for a first time effort, I’m pleased with it. There are more members, but I really need to practice more before I attempt a full team shot.

Pretty good – you managed not to lose any body parts! One thing I can suggest, though, is to think about the balance of your composition and where you place the different characters in relation to one another. You might want to move some of them up or down a bit, so they don’t look like they’re standing on each others’ feet! Also, think about layering.

At the moment, Dragonlady’s arm is pressed against Red Fox’s back, and Fox’s crossbow is somehow in front of whatever Guerilla Gorilla (nice name, by the way) is holding. Also, where exactly is Ursus Major? According to the upper half of the picture, he’s at the back, but if you look at their feet he appears to be standing further forward than Dragonlady and Red Fox. It’s quite confusing!
