So I am back with another post all about hand studies. If you haven't seen my first set of hand studies, you can check it out here. I am doing 100 studies in total and I'm hoping by the end, that some new neuro pathways will be formed and I will more easily turn the hand shapes in my mind.
I am already getting better at the structure and simplifying shapes where I see fit. Here's this weeks gallery:
When doing some studies like these I try to keep a few things in mind.
Compare your photo reference to how the master's have drawn a similar pose.
Stay light and loose in the first underdrawing, and move onto more technical armatures afterward.
Take your time! Speed comes with mastery and practice.
This week I spotted a fantastic watercolor artist @shibasaki. He has a fantastic sense of negative space and how to work the water bleed on the page. Here's a cool piece that I like. Definitely support this guy, he deserves it.
Some housekeeping news: I'll be doing some pro sketch cards for Marvel this month and I would love to here from you guys in the comments with your suggestions of who to draw. I will be selling three Artist Proofs for collectors, while the others will be part of a product line and sold by another company.
Hope you enjoyed my post and enjoying the great progress crypto currencies are a making lately.
