Hello illographer,
Thanks a lot for the tips. I agree that adding depth would definitely help, I just get stuck on it sometimes (or move too much and the lighting of it changes!) I will definitely try using either of those shapes to build it up.
I don't feel like you can draw some poses and have them look natural if you don't build it up and add depth: it'll just look disproportionate and weird... Which is why I've avoided some poses so far, because I haven't been too sure of how to build it up well.
I'll try it out and share some more later! Thank you again :)
I have to draw 150 hands and 150 feet for my basic drawing one class.. at first I thought I was going to do complete and utter crap, because, before this class, I've never been good with drawing realism aside from (some) trees.
I feel like I'm improving, but I'd really like some critiquing/pointers/opinions. I think some are really bad, while others are actually decent. And some I add more details into, others are really basic. I'm just trying things out to see what looks better, and what I may need to work on and so on.
I only have 17 done at this point, and I've put them in two albums on photobucket (cause I am trying to do 10 a page on my big sketch pad).
<a href="http://s480.beta.photobucket.com/user/taylynne/library/hands/first%2010">Here are the first 10</a>
<a href="http://s480.beta.photobucket.com/user/taylynne/library/hands/second%2010"> And the other 7</a>
I'd love to know which look the worse, and which look the best (especially ones that look best, I want to see what I have done right.. it's a bit more obvious which are bad I think).
Thanks a lot in advance :) I'll have more later if you guys don't mind checking them out later!
Oh and they're all my hand, I just pose it and try my best to keep it in place for however long I may need.
EDIT:
I'd like to apologize also for some quality of the photos. They're all drawn on a 18 x 24 sketch pad so I haven't really been able to scan them for better quality. :(
