Description Jyabura, Jabra. Whatever, same thing! I'm still confused on what is actual name is....

Started off as a failed attempt at hand practice.
Anyone have any tips on drawing hands?! i can't seem to ever do it right!

I dunno why I turned a failure into an awesome character. But whatever.

I find that shading helps a hand look like a hand

Also, do some hand studies, look at your left hand and draw it

Once I get my shading into order, I'll keep that in mind, Thanks. C:

I'll try. But I have the hardest time drawing what I see. especially if it's my own hand or something.

Try taking a photo and putting it on your computer screen. Then it's static and 2d and easier to understand

I noticed that too. It is just a sketch however and didn't bother even wanting to fix it after I noticed.
It's shaded? O.o

Those hands are way better than mine, mine are like weird, distorted, squiggly lumps with noodles sticking out of 'em.
xD

I really love the perspective and the anatomy!

MelNocturne In reply to Kurohe-86 [2012-08-21 14:36:08 +0000 UTC]

Oh, I don't think so. The hand you draw look pretty awesome and accurate to me.

Yay. x3

Cool. ^^
As far as hands go, I usually start with a "mitten." then you break the mitten into blocks for each finger, and then refine those into actual fingers. ^^ Looks pretty good!

Thanks. C:
Okay, i'll try that method. I've been using circles and lines. I found, that doesn't work too well for me...

This is good! The foreshortening is great,and the details are very good.

All I'd suggest is to show more of the arm behind the hand. But overall, awesome work!

Thanks. C:

I'll keep that in mind if I ever feel like finishing it.
Just need to figure out how to show the arm without making it looks funny...
