4.25 / 5.00 13,242 ViewsI took the liberty or redlining that selfportrait. It's looking really cool, but like you noticed yourself, the hands are a bit of a problem...
My redline is by no means stellar, but it's a quick thing to illustrate my points:
1: fingers have three phalanges (parts), in your drawing you seem to have skipped some of those.
the thumb is an exception with only two phalanges.
2: Hands are arguably the most difficult thing to draw, that's why it helps to sketch a skeleton before you draw them; just draw a rectangle for the palm and lines and dots for the phalanges; this way you keep control over the relative length of the fingers and parts.
3: See how in my redline, the blue lines follow a nice pattern? The fingers and palm follow one curve and the joints in each finger all lie along a number of parallel curves; this gives you're drawing a bit more serenity. In the hand you drew the blue lines are more wiggly, which draws the eye there, it makes it look a bit chaotic...
4: If you are holding something; you normally wouldn't put fingers on top of each other, which is what you did with the middle fingers.
5: as I said, hands are arguably the most difficult thing to draw; but there is one big advantage to drawing hands, you always have your reference nearby; take a picture of you holding a ball are mask and see how you wrap your fingers around it etc...
Disclaimer: I'm by no means an expert on this stuff, but this is how I interpret some of the stuff I picked up, how it's of help to you.
Thanks a lot JQB, I've started over on that drawing, made it look more like me and I'm fixing the hands/arms. I'll post it in a bit hehe
But yes, your red lining was very helpful. I'm gonna draw some hand/feet studies just cuz I think it'd benefit

Thanks, maybe you'll make a Nova character now ;D
I saw AJ drawing a plague doctor made me want to draw one too, so I started drawing it. This is one of those drawings I do where I don't sketch it out, don't think it helps probably does a lot of hindering actually.
So, drawing Jackie Pryce (maybe wrong spelling, sleepy), not enough people on the forums have their own original characters.
Workin' on my Creaturing drawing, I'm like 70-80% done
Update on the art trade I'm doing for Aigis, apparently it doesn't really look like Jackie Pryce but oh well.

Photography PFFHHMEH I modeled in some band shots, this from the music video
More pictures of me because it's art maybe
Also, the person who took this is my dear friend Darkittys
She is the person we get to take pictures of us because she has an eye for this sorta thing
Another Darkittysoriginal, this one had some mild photomanipulation done, I think it was just adding of a weird spiraly thing, dunno which band member decided to do it but it's the back cover of the cd insert ;B
Character design I like I did for my band
