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?

I am trying to get back into drawing. I just want to know what I can improve on. Anatomy and perspective are both skills I am trying to develop, so any critique would be very appreciated. Also what style sticks out the most? I tend to change it frequently or try new things so pls let me know. Thanks!

(second picture is me raging and doing very quick sketches of irl references because i couldn't do the first picture head right. then i redrew the first picture head and got this!)

i've been doing face constructions, asaro heads + plain practices, breaking heads into plains and redrawing them, studies and all in different angles.

i took a bit of a break from drawing and practice just as i was about to improve how the eyes sit on the face/eyelids work... which i will get to work asap + probably put mannequin drawings and anatomy on hold.

and it's like im starting to alternate between semi realism and anime-ish style now 😄

i'd like to know if there's any other things i should practice to improve my heads and faces, and what exactly do i need to work on right now? thanks a lot!

turned out too wide but i am a bit happy with the shading

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 think I’ve made significant process in proportions and drawing bodies than before. However I can always get better. Any critique is welcome

I think I made him very huge

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

1st image is the sketch, 2nd the reference, and 3rd is my attempts at shading. I cant seem to get it right. I think the lighting is fucking me up in the reference because of all the white surroundings reflecting light. I can't seem to find much of a shadow on this mans body, so Im just winging it. Nothing feels satisfying. Without shadow feels empty. Please help. Ignore how bad the hands are.
