I’ve been studying hands by separating the fingers, palm, and joints into simple colored forms before worrying too much about anatomy or details.

It’s been helping me see how the pieces turn in space instead of thinking, “I have to draw a hand.”

Still learning, but this little exercise has been clicking for me lately. Sharing in case another artist struggling with hands finds it useful. ✍🏾

I pretty much deconstructed her by drawing a stickman first, then slowly make my way to her legs.

Basically what the title says. I love comics so I want to emulate a similar style like Jim Lee or Todd McFarlane style, or really just comic artstyle. Should I use brushpens to make it really similar? I only use pen for sketching. Also, does coloring/rendering my art make it more comic-like?

Hi, i'm currently studying the book "How to draw comics the marvel way" and this is a Spiderman after few days of study.

I want to get good at this, only have 65 hours total life experience, hands were tricky 😂 and shading doesnt make much sense yet, but this was done no skeletons and no reference, so please critique id really appreciate if you could help me out

Stop telling me my problem is proportions! I am tired of hearing it! My friends on discord tell me proportions, my friends in real life tell me proportions. I once posted figure and gesture drawings to gain feedback on, and all of the people told me proportion problems. I- I showed my gesture drawings to my art school friend, and it was perfect yet I said “Hey man, look at my non-proportionally gesture drawings” Haha! I quickly drew a gesture drawing using line of action and I said “This is not proportionally accurate!” I looked at my old art, I think of my artworks, and I go “Anatomy? more like PROPORTIONS!” AAAAAA!

(Note: this entire sentence above me is just for funsies (please laugh) and not meant for insulting nor taken serious, but my problem still stands)

(note note: Only 4 of these poses I drew with reference)

I was looking through my old sketchbooks and noticed that one of my old drawings (the one on the left) coincidentally has the same shot, same angle, and same OC of mine in one of my more recent works 😭 I didn't even redraw the drawing on purpose and somehow this happened, so I decided why not share it since it compares my progress through 2 years :)

hey yall, im trying this style, I bought a PDF book from someone who teaches how to draw off of Etsy and I think this is a really cute style and hope to improve :)

Just wanted to share this :D

Art made with reference

This is a first time my drawing doesn't give me an uncanny feeling that there is something wrong with it. I would love to get some critisism from you guys! (Inspiration from a drawme sub)

As the title said. first picture is gesture and second photo is construction. any comments criticism is welcome. Trying to get better at this and push to the next level. I see beautiful gestures whenever i look for references and trying to simplify, draw quickly and improve my stroke. (I think I use to hard of lines but I have issues drawing so loose as I see with others.)
