Learn to draw cylinders in perspective

>>7021270
It's very simple, i don't know why are you asking it.

Copy lots of hands and feet

>>7021270
I just filled up an a3 sketchbook with just drawing of my own hand, used a mirror sometimes. then I was ok. it's just mileage man. no secret.

>>7021271
okay so i just gotta draw a shit ton of them? got any good videos on how to break them motherfuckers down?

>>7021301
i just use proko and bridgman to learn anatomy stuff then draw a bunch of hands from life

>>7021301

>>7021270
copy bridgman twice
deus vult

>>7021301
you don't really need videos, just copy other breakdowns and take what you like from them. as other anons said, bridgman is good for hands too. I forget what pic rel is from but I like it,

*oh right file name haha

I look at my left hand while drawing for reference. It's right there (no pun intended), may as well use it for something.

>>7021319
sometimes I draw the hand that is drawing...it's meta..carpals...zing!

>I look at my left hand while drawing for reference.
What do I do if I'm left-handed? Fuck! Am I ngmi?

>>7021270
>take a photo of my hand
>put an AI filter over it to get a painterly look
>if working traditionally, then trace the results
gg, ez

I'm going to fucking kill you anon

>>7021403
O_o

>>7021403
How am I supposed to make it as an artist when people are threatening to kill me anonymously over the Internet? Are there any artbooks or proko videos for dealing with this?

>>7021409
Check out Proko's video "How to deal with death threats when posting on an anonymous Bolivian wood carving forum as an artist (feat Ryan Benjamin)"

it really is just cylinders. I usually use reference collage's like this to practice. If your hand doesn't look right, literally just look at your own hand and pose in a similar way to get an understanding of the perspective.

All those feet "artists", every single one of them, they simply just traced 3d models. Legitimately and sincerely.

>>7021270
Break em down into shapes and form from every angle like front, side, top, etc and use references, preferably 3D ones like real life or statues.

>>7021424
Not the Sonic ones.

>>7021424
some non traced here. it's quite possible you are wrong. >>>/i/733323

Maybe the Chinese aren't so bad after all

Morpho Hands and Feet book

>>7021270
Literally I brute forced it in highschool by darwing my own hands in my sketchbook every day for like 2 -3 months straight because I was tired of drawing them behind the character's back. Recently did the same with feet like a year or 2 ago while pulling in some stylistic influence from fetish artists that specialize in them and I'm decent at both now.

Picrel is something from the canvas I'm working on rn if that helps

>>7021301
i like Vilppu's and Scott Eaton's lectures on feet
their videos on hands where both hit or miss to be honest

>>7021270
Step 1: copy pictures of hands
Step 2: create your own method and divide the hand into a few 3d shapes
3: practice drawing hands with and without reference, use the 3 shapes you created or find someone else's method which works for you

this applies to feet as well

Why don't you guys fucking know how to learn anything?

Learning to draw hands is no different than learning to draw anything else. JUST DO THE SHIT YOU DID TO LEARN THE OTHER SHIT, why is your brain so fucking BAD???

>>7021270
There are two secrets to drawing hands and feet for me
1: Treating each hand and foot as a much smaller figure that is a piece of the larger figure. You can't draw a figure and consider the hands and feet to just be little bits tacked on, each is as complex in its own right as the entire human body it is attached to, hands and feet are complex and you have to accept that and treat each individual one as a tiny figure drawing instead of trying to find fast easily solutions. You have to pose and understand the location of each toe and finger like the arm or leg of a whole figure.
2: Liking hands and feet. Hands aren't such a problem but a lot of artists who are the kinds of people who hate feet or associate them with nasty smells and hate looking at them are never going to get good at drawing feet because they don't want to look at them long enough to get it right. I think feet are pretty and enjoy looking at them, so it's easy for me to practice them. You can kinda tell when you find some really good digital painter whose rendering is off the charts and their feet are half-assed that they're the kind of person who just hates feet

They probably just don't want to look at feet and want some way to draw them without needing to look at them or hold the foot shape in their mind, but they're in denial that that isn't possible.

>>7024959
Idk what it is man. Maybe the anons here are young and have been in the school system their whole life but they all seem so afraid of failure that they don't dare try things out without a step by step instruction for every single moment in drawing.

>>7024988
God forbid making up your own step by step instructions to follow and refining them until they work

>>7021270
look at hands / feet
fucking draw them
keep doing that
hope this helps anon
