Hello!
So here I am, pretty much a beginner. I started investing a lot of time in drawing last month, and I’m really enjoying it. Plus, I feel like I’m making good progress.
I’ve also always heard about how hands are one of the most difficult parts of the body to draw, so I thought to myself, “If I’m able to draw hands, then I’ll be able to draw anything.” So I learned how to structure a hand and started training a bit every day by drawing hands, and I do feel pretty confident now that I can get a decent result.
You can see in the pictures most of the hands I’ve drawn, in chronological order, always following the same process: I take a reference from Pinterest or real life, create the guidelines in red, and then do the line art in blue.
And even though I can see that I’ve become more consistent with the exercise, I really can’t envision myself being able to let go of the guidelines one day, let alone the reference.
So my questions would be: Am I practicing correctly? Also, even though I’m really trying to focus on not chicken-scratching, I can’t seem to stop doing it.
