Hands are evil and since my last exam I realized more than ever I lack some real knowledge of their structure. So in July I gathered some reference pics and produced some quick practice sketches.
Staedtler fineliner and Copic markers - I was coming from a week or more without grabbing a pencil (or pen tablet) and my strokes were ugly and unconfident and hairy ugh.
I used my trusty fineliner and the fat brush tip of a black Tombo marker on this one.
Let's see:
- Fat black marker and fineliner are great for quick sketching
- I improved a lot by making more and more of these - the next batch looks a lot better!
- Fingers often look off
- Not drawing for a while is bad. It shows
- This first batch of marker & fineliner sketches look horrible. The black areas are unrefined and uneffective
- Those parallel fine lines as midtones look awful
Experience gained: 4 points!
- I've been having issues on this. I need to draw hands more often and study muscles and bones properly
- Tombo and fineliner are great mediums I'll definitely use again to get more confident on large shadow areas
- I'd like my inked stuff to look good without those outlines that are exposed to light. In other words, I'd like to find a solution to make subjects look believable by just inking shadows and a little hint of midtones, without the need for outlines
- I need a solution for midtones. I can't figure out how to reproduce them properly when using inks yet
