@MoodyBats: You could use your own hand for reference. Or even to trace. Tracing your own photo is perfectly acceptable 👍🏻

@chiffonorange:
ahaha thank you! i'm glad you like it. it ended up being my most popular piece ever. :") but i gotta get drawing more regularly so something ... more acceptable can take that throne hahaha

@moodybats: that WIP is great, the color and everything is lookin real good. I think i know what you're going for with the hand and it can be quite tricky. Since you're doing hand studies you're definitely on the right track to being able to do it.

I'm also with Lilykin re: tracing a photo of your hand, it helps a lot with breaking it down into shapes that make a bit more sense and be able to copy it on your own a bit better than before.

@Addy: It's a lot trickier for me to take a picture of my hand for the pose+angle
without a phone. I tried having my sister pose but...she is terrible at it.

So I just found a reference that is as close as I'll get to it but i just am incapable of drawing
the hand for now so I'll just need to practice different hand poses and study them to be able to finish it.

@MoodyBats: If you have a hand mirror, the kind with a stand, you can prop it in front of you while you work. You can use it to check hand and face refs

@Lilykin: Sadly i don't really have a mirror
like that and can't really afford one.

But as i said, i have a reference in mind.
I'm just not going to finish the piece until I have gotten better at hands
as it comes down to my ability to draw it.

@moodybats: no worries, u got this

as long as you're practicing there's nothing wrong with how you're approaching it imo, onward and upward in your own way

i'm still fiddling with my website and it feels suuuper plain but it's better than what i have now

@Addy: Yup. and need a break from my large projects
as once i cannot get something right it ends up frustrating me so need to do easy projects and studies
for the time being. :vanora_smile:

I think your site looks goos so far.
Sites are supposed to be a little plain so things are easier to find.
Mine is probably too colorful.
But i like it lol.

@Addy: Most artist sites i visit usually are plain or very basic.
I think it's smart to just have it basic so people visiting can find things easier.

//unlike me who likes to have flashy cute site


Thank you, though I already have this saved in my twitter bookmarks. :vanora_sweat:
Everything remotely related to anatomy i instinctively save

@moodybats: oh nice! i don't know how much it's been floating around but just stumbled onto it a bit ago

i tried to creep and find your website but i couldn't - but if you meant your tumblr theme, i like it a lot! i was debating setting up a colored border on the side but idk how it would look on mobile lol

@Addy: I follow...so many artists. So a lot of stuff pops up for me. XD
happens when you follow 300 artists and they retweet or like stuff.

That's because it's not published.
It's still a draft for me as Idk when I'll be publishing it for people to visit and so on.

@Addy: I'm not going to publish mine until I can afford my domain which will be around $17-20
and I spent like...$40 on clothes for one item[it taxed me real good].
But it is mostly done.
I was going to show a sneak peek on my story but it's hard to do that cause my theme looks sorta zoomed in lol.
But it looks very cute.

Mine is a mix of art, important things, and k-pop lol.
So I usually have a variety to sort through, retweet and like.
There hasn't been too much art. But it comes up here and there.

@Addy: Yeah. from all the things I would get for the freelance plan though
it seems fair. I just don't have $20.
So i may end up opening ko-fi commissions.
But for more than just my domain plan.

My comp has been on the fritz for past several weeks. And worried it's starting to break down so to speak.
Internet lately will not connect for a solid 15-30 minutes. And it will claim it's connected but it's not.
So now I'm worried i have to start saving up for my computer now.

Ooo nice. I need to play catch up on hand studies.
After i finish Minako though that way I am finished and will have it uploaded by tomorrow morning.
