Yeah yeah I know I know. Start with simple shapes. I did. Its a mess. I cant wrap my head around this one.



That bottom hand. The more I stare at it...the more it looks like a deformed potato.

I really really tried. I really really suck.
Could you show me your versions of drawing this hand pose??

o w o
I'll have to try this when I wake up later :3
Dunno if it'll help, but try rotating the ref upside down if you haven't and draw it from that angle? Kinda gets your brain to see what's really there instead of what you expect to see (or something like that. I'll probably pull the explanation from one of my art books later as well if you're interested, lol)

Mayhap tracing it for practice will help the final drawing?

Well, I definitely spent more time on this than I should have, lol.
decided to make it part of my daily drawing routine, hence the date and notes

These were 10 minutes each without erasing anything: sketch 1 l sketch 2
cursed hand by itself took approximately 28 minutes, lol


I... guess it didn't come out too bad?

EDIT: Totally didn't bother with shading. xD
EDIT: need to switch links, fml lmao
EDIT: Okay, everything should be linked correctly, lol

Donator — He/Him Posted 6 years ago ( 2019/01/12 17:11:33 )
ah, jeez, i wouldn't even bother with that

i think the only way it CAN come out, is to come out looking weird. xD

@Millet: Did it help you with your drawing? The perspective is a little difficult. My advise is try to keep your lines thin and neat so you can see what you are doing? If you are doing traditional, investing in tracing paper/lightbox might be a huge help in cleaning up your drawings.
