Are you using a reference? Or are you "just" using the construction?
I am drawing feet right now and .. boy... without a reference I'd only draw snowshoes

For this last one I was actually using a "reference" but the reference hand was in another position and I tried to adapt. And probably that's where I got lost in the process 😅

And I totally believe you on the feet part.... not SUPER excited to get there 😅

Julia_J 2021-04-03 06:24:28 UTC #264

Yeah, feet and hands... why do we have those?? Nobody thought about us and our struggle

dangras-almeida 2021-04-04 20:11:55 UTC #265

Super late “Portrait Friday”, but better late than ever, right?

This one is great, the flow of the hair is super cool!

dangras-almeida 2021-04-06 17:20:30 UTC #267

Thanks! 😬💙

Back to hands, now in perspective WIP.

Julia_J 2021-04-09 05:06:16 UTC #269

I am also working on hands right now... boy, are they mean
I used reference pictures, drew these "shapes" on them and tried to copy that... I will upload some tomorrow. Let me say this: a lot of overlaying was needed for the palm of the hand

Your version looks really well constructed!

dangras-almeida 2021-04-16 19:44:42 UTC #270

Hands are literally slapping me in the face 😆
@Julia_J I’ll definitely need to try this again with reference. Just eye balling from the class was super hard. Will likely try again tomorrow.

Hey Dangras!
I think we stumbled across each other on here nearly a year ago now (ive been busy ) But just wanted to say seeing your progress and relentlessness is really inspiring! Looks like youre doing really well. Im hoping to make some time to follow suit 💪
Keep it up!

dangras-almeida 2021-04-20 19:45:40 UTC #272

The hand saga continues

This is gonna take a loooooooooot of practice. It will come “in handy” 😂

@jonmatheson hey! Long time no “see”. Thanks for the kind words, buddy. Really appreciate it. It wasn’t easy, but it was fun! And now that you’re back, I wish you the best on your journey, too! Keep it up and welcome back!

Julia_J 2021-04-21 05:23:50 UTC #273

The evolution of hands!! Good work!

HANDRO 2021-04-21 10:08:41 UTC #274

like what im seeing. values might be the next step to giving the hand some depth. good job. Dan!

dangras-almeida 2021-04-21 20:21:45 UTC #275

More hands! That’s life now. Hands!

Thanks @Julia_J and @HANDRO!
I’m following @Julia_J ‘s and using a lot of reference. Trying to break them down and repeat. And going for stylized ones (they are simpler to draw I guess).

Julia_J 2021-04-22 05:53:09 UTC #276

Reference is life!

dangras-almeida 2021-04-22 19:55:12 UTC #277

Hands (and reference!) are life now

Julia_J 2021-04-23 05:30:14 UTC #278

Wow your improvement is awesome!

HANDRO 2021-04-23 10:07:28 UTC #279

Nice....

dangras-almeida 2021-04-23 17:28:51 UTC #280

More hands, with more references, leading to more hands!

Thanks @Julia_J (your comment on references really changed the game for me) and @HANDRO for the support.

I’ll definitely stick with these hands for a bit more time. Don’t think I’m quite there yet.

Julia_J 2021-04-24 06:02:21 UTC #281

They look awesome man! One question: is it a style choice to only draw one joint in the fingers?
