Daily Drawing Thread - Try to post at least once a day and see how long you can go.

  • 🔧 At about Midnight EST I am going to completely fuck up the site trying to fix something.
I think pretty much everyone struggles with hands.
Yeah, but i either make them too small or too horrendous. It's a matter of practise until i find the method and then perfect it. But first, i need to find the proper proportion.
I've shared this with friends and they've all said the same thing! Fabrics are a bit of a strong suit for me, since I like to draw loose clothing. I appreciate it all the same (the vest is called a gambeson, by the way).

As for your issues with hands... I find that good general rule of thumb is to make them roughly the size of the human face, from chin to brow. Take that with a grain of salt though, since I have long fingers and fairly large hands irl
I know what Gambesons are, but i thought those also covered the arms. Maybe i'm that autistic about armors or get too caught in my own retardation, but i know that they are padded jackets that were used mostly as under protection for heavy armor.

I also have big hands (long fingers mostly) and i know there is a distinction between male and female hands since men tend to have bigger hands than women. But the thing is that i tend to fuck big time since the get go with the hands when i do the arms (it's been too little since i started doing arms quite passably and even that, i still suck making them too long.

Today's page was done during Josh stream (i like chilling on Friday while listening to Null blabber about retards on the internet) and my initial idea got sidetracked by the realization that i suck massively at making heads from a perspective, so this one ended up with lots of heads from different perspectives.

I need to step up by also adding details, since that's my weakest point when doing this crap. And later i can also work with hair physics to add movement to the figure. I just have so much stuff in my head i get too caught in my planning.
 
Forgot to post yesterday but I still drew!
For Day 6 (yesterday) here is Sylvando from Dragon Quest 11 because I'm thirsty for him and it's only a matter of time before my drawing of the day is him getting vaporlocked

Today there is no drawing since i went to say goodbye to friend that will be away for a few months, so i'm breaking out one of the old ones. It's been like 3 or 4 months since i did thise drawing of Terry A. Davis and i find it quite charming. Not the best, but a good attempt nonetheless.

Day Nine

I agnonized over trying to draw this crossbow/the hands and ultimately gave up about two hours of cyclical sketching, erasing and re-sketching. I’m disappointed in myself today.

What kinds of markers and pens are you using, if you don’t mind me asking? I really like your technique.
Honestly it’s just a cheap Papermate #2 mechanical pencil and an office pen I stole from work. Oh and then there at the end I did a little smudging but I obviously haven’t done it in a while so I probably need to practice that more.

I took to draw nature from time to time and i found it extremely relaxing. Even if i'm random in what i do, everyone told me i draw flowers very well. In order, those are White Mistle, a potato flower, pepper flower, kiwi flower and apple flower. I also like drawing bugs and birds from time to time.
