Description
Literally only had about 30 minutes of my day to myself. I got to here and decided to post it so people could say whats wrong with it
Ive been trying to adopt 's way of doing hands.. but.. I keep blowing it when its time for the fingers to come out to the point of view.
Anyways..
Are the lines straight enough? Should they curve more? Any thoughts before I work on this tomorrow.
Edit: Started the coloring!, I decided to use myself as the color template and paint in what I am wearing right now.
blah the right arm is a bit funky, could have been done better. I realized this way after I got the color in. of course I should just fix it.. I don't know why I don't.. maybe later..
Anyways, more thoughts?
Edit: right arm fixed and background added.
I'm not a big background guy yet, so heres some vertical lines with a piano. I'm actually interested in how accurate I am with the shading given the light source.
Thoughts?

mmm.... definitely better than before, it's looking quite nice now. Keep adding details and smoothing out the colors, you're really getting there with it.
I'm not very familiar with this coloring style, but adding sharper outlines to the different layers and folds will help with defining the perspective and form. With the light source that close, you could also play around with extreme light transitions.
The hair looks fine now too, I guess that dark streak really was throwing me off.

yea, about the hair, I was trying too hard to define extreme contrasts and brightness between the lighted and shaded areas. That specific transition wasn't consistent with the rest of the drawing so it stuck out pretty bad.
About adding outlines and sharper more define detail. This is probably a gimme, but I could be wrong. More detail and sharper lines go whats closer to the viewer?

hands huh? well I've been working on them for over 4 years and they still don't turn out right sometimes and I have to spend so much time tweaking them to look... mediocre at best

Yep. I know how you feel. I have found a technique that only works if I keep the drawing looking super sketchy, but the second I try to smooth out the detail the fingers begin looking awkward. I think its just lack of experience, and it will form over time.

i did terrible advice this time, because my time is running short.
here's some quick finger advice.. if you look at you hand and squish all your fingers together, you'll notice that your middle finger is the longest, and when it comes to the index finger and the finger to the opposite side of that, they are roughly around the same length. While your pinky finger, is of course the shortest (when you don't count the thumb) see the advice drawing above..
finally here's some hand/finger anatomy. Study the joints, lengths, and finger placement.

Perspective is a hard thing to get a grip on, you can do it though!

The hairline looks a bit strange... like he has really thin hair growth?
The arm on the right doesn't seem to connect with the shoulder correctly, or a lack of a shoulder perhaps. If his left shoulder is pointing directly outwards (towards the viewer) than it should be more defined and his other shoulder pulled farther back.

about the thin hair line, are you referring to the darker shaded side of the head? (perhaps it needs more cranium)
Yeah, the right shoulder should be pulled further back. Im going to address that, as well as the way the arm sticks out. It should be more away from the point of view.

The thumb on the right hand looks a liiiiiittle bit awkward, but what am I to say? *shrugs*
...but I love the left arm and his expression too
