@Priestess of Pie: foreshortening i have not even begun to try. :vanora_sweat:
Hands and art is art. I feel so far from my art goal.


@Amber Lynne: It depends on where your at in art.
I feel very beginner so I am super dependent on them as I don't really draw a whole lot.
I would love to draw everyday but i don't always have ideas or the energy unfortunately.

I use to be and then i started following a lot of artists on my social media and telling you not to be afraid of using them.
So then i began to use them. Plus whenever I drew a pose without it, it looked really bad.
And i want to get better so now i hoard a ton of refs on my pinterest.

I feel it is. I feel the final touch though is some sort of boa or fur coat as I feel it suits
the vibe i have for her.

@Amber Lynne: yeah i use to do that too but i also use to not use references for hands.
But since using reference i feel it's been super helpful.
I am also trying to train myself to warm up first. Which is very challenging lately.
Thank you.

I can't wait to finish her. I've been working on her for a few months I think?
I even made a sim character of her in sims 4 lol.

@Priestess of Pie: i think every artist has done that at least once.
Though since i've been drawing hands using references i feel it has helped a lot.
As well as learning how to break it down into different shapes.

I am so bad at shapes.

@Amber Lynne: Yup. Though i am debating to add some more things
to one piece because I am making her into an official character.
And she's kinda sassy. I use to hate the changes I did to her but now i love them and think she looks
much better.

Very true. I am bad with proportions so sometimes my hands are much bigger.
Though shrinking them doesn't do any better since proportions everywhere are off.
But i am slowly getting better at the proportions.

@Priestess of Pie: most of my wips don't get done on account
of the hands. But they'll get done eventually.

@Amber Lynne: Yup. Luckily i have a lot of WIPS to practice things on.
Especially coloring. As usually it's complete and flat colored.

Haha yeah. But it'll get better I am sure the more I practice.

@Amber Lynne: true. I just have difficulty
keeping to it and i keep changing it lol. :vanora_sweat:
But i'll get the hang of it.

Yeah hands i am kinda hating right now.
Mostly since they just look like someone crushed her hand or something XD


@Priestess of Pie: Thank you very much.

@Amber Lynne: Yup. Feel like my experimenting with painting lips
has helped a lot. So trying to think of it like I did the lip studies
so I don't get anxiety over it lol

@Amber Lynne: yeah, trying new things always helps.
I think the newest thing I did was cloud paintings which i found fun until I realized
the two paintings I did almost looked the same lol.

But might try some new landscape techniques as i have such an itching for painting.
Though i also need to follow some hair painting tutorials.

@Amber Lynne: yup very true.

Yeah. I've been hitting fundamentals HARD since late 2018-early 2019 until now.
If I don't I feel i wasted my day completely.
and even now i feel i am not improving at times. :vanora_sweat:

But i guess I am if people notice it even if i can't lol.

@Amber Lynne: Haha yeah. I'm always trying to study smarter
than I currently am.

Yeah that is true. I'll probably start doing that.
My sister usually offers to do that since she has a phone
and I do not lol.

@star2000shadow: haha i feel that.
I wish i could art for hours but my sister sets me on a curfew
since my laptop screen bothers her that she cant sleep.
so i have no choice but to go to bed instead. :vanora_unamused:
