Title: And so on...
Post by: Stryke 9 on April 17, 2003, 10:15:43 pm

In honor of the fact that I can't sit down at my computer for ten minutes and render without being compelled to play Deus Ex, and because I'm feeling particularly charitable, here's a little context for the hard-art people when I make fun of 'em. Go ahead, laugh, I haven't done people since stick figures. Plus, I've only got mah self and whatever I can hold in my head through the whole hting to model from, so tthbt.

Nah, just a crazed trucker. The shotgun's there for no apparent reason I can think of, except as a way to avoid drawing the hand.:D

practice a couple of days on hands, and you'll find drawing them much easier :)
in short: look at your hand, draw it, and again, and again and again :) draw other people's hands too, so you don't take your own hand features for a standard.

Here's a couple of tutorials that may help, but as venom said, practice makes perfect..

PolyKarbon Hand Tutorial (http://http://www.polykarbon.com/tutorials/hands/hands.htm)

Dean Dodrill's hand tutorials (http://www.noogy.com/noogy/lessons/lesson4a.html)( a friend pointed this out to me)
 
there's also a few others out there... look around, google is rather useful in this respect...

Oh I can draw hands (doesn't really show here, small image), I just don't like to. It generally involves lots of erasures.

an easy way to go withh it is to give the fingers only two... phalanx? her... sections. it makes things surprisingly simpler, and doesn't look wrong for some reason. don't draw the intersection creases in the skin tho, or it'll look bad.
