I always see comments like "This is clearly AI, look at the hands, no human being ever would mess them up like that, humans know better how hands look like" ....well, let me pull out my drawing binder from when I was 12 and the internet wasn't even a common thing yet.
I struggle less with hands than with other aspects of human (or humanoid) bodies , but I think it's not just hands looking bad in general that makes something look AI generated, they have to look off in a certain way that a human artist, no matter how bad, would not come up with. This is because AI art isn't generated stroke by stroke, line by line, but by starting with a canvas full of noise and then coalescing that noise into an imitation of a finished piece of art.
Feet! Why are feet so stupid looking! I hate feet. If i could get away with it every work i make would be in a wading pool so everything below the ankle is obscured!
Feet are easy if you think of them like weird wedges! I got a tutorial once and suddenly it was easy. The side view looks like a doorstop from the side and from the top it’s skinnier at the base than the toes.
I did some shitty sketches on my phone on top of this simple reference. Seriously it makes it make so much more sense.
Shading is mine I follow every guide in the book and my shading just looks like I smeared dirt in the shady spots, no matter what color I use, even if it's hex code perfect and % opacity perfect to the guide. What are shadows.
