All things I find interesting and my work.

This probably has been asked before millions of times, but do you have any tips on hands and arms?

Yus!!!! My favorite! ARMS! Hands!! 

First, may I interest you in Sycra Yasin’s “How to Draw the Forearm” and other youtube tutorials like it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=894PGlFUr6E

Sycra Yasin is a literal godsend to this earth and I love him to death. If you want comprehensive muscle tutorials, THIS GUY is YOUR GUY. 

Second, let me introduce you to George Bridgman:

Studying this kind of structural anatomy is super helpful for learning and simplifying any kind of figure. 

I’ve compiled some hand/arm tutorials from both myself and mod goji for some further study:

As for posing the arm with the body, I like to use this simplified form of the arm to create my sketch poses so I know what the overall will look like. 

It’s not a direct science, and it is a lot of muscle memory. Knowing how long the arms should be in conjunction with the torso is still a struggle for me. When in doubt, do the pose yourself! See how you look in a mirror :)

Hello, I focused on the human anatomy and the clothing in this drawing. And I want to know what mistakes I made both for the clothing and the shape of human body in this drawing, thanks >-

A very cool little piece! Her walking motion is pretty spot on, and there’s a good energy to the picture! 

I would recommend, though, that you try out the pose in real life when you draw it. ;) For example, the way she’s swinging her arms here is not quite comfortable, and if you tried to walk and swing your arms in opposite directions this high, it would not happen naturally. 

For reference, here’s a good walking cycle example!

Another thing to keep in mind is, of course, constructing anatomy before you draw! Keep in mind the basic shapes the body is built out of - don’t just throw down curves and lines without thinking about proportions. 

The left thigh of the character (right side to the viewer) seems to be almost the entire length of her leg! But in reality, the leg should be made up of two separate cylinders, each with a seperate curve pattern (unless you’re simplifying it to the extreme.)

Good job!
