Description YEAH!

100 FREAKING HANDS! A project I've been rambling off about for a few months! I can't believe I'm done so soon!

I heard from Matt Kohr on Ctrl Paint that a good way to improve on something is to draw 100 of it, so I tackled my former nemesis “Hands”.

... I really like them now! xD
Pft I ended up doing 105 but I did probably doodled about 20 in class.

The ones with stars next to them were done by memory.
I really don't see that much improvement, but I trust that all this practice will catch up with me eventually! u A u

I’m kind of sad now though. I have to leave the hands and start on another soon.
I’m thinking… CLOUDS. Or NOSES.

As a disclaimer I do not own any of the reference pictures at all: This is for studying purposes only.

Nicely done, I've also been watching Matt's videos and beginning to do some study on human anatomy and wonder where you found reference for these sketches ?

Thanks

Ah, Lots of places. It really is hard to pinpoint all of them.
Here are a few helpful resources though, some I used, others I recently discovered>
>"Hand full of Refs" Tumblr blog: [link]
>"Art Referencies" (My personal reference blog where I collected hands): [link]
> dA has tons of resources on here! I used many of those.
> Wysp has this great hand practice widget too>[link]

I hope this helps!

JR-Boss [2012-10-17 03:03:14 +0000 UTC]

May I use this as a reference?

Pheoniic In reply to JR-Boss [2012-10-17 03:07:47 +0000 UTC]

Sure!
Although if you do reference it...
You might induce some kind of Refrenception.
A Reference inside a Reference.

Thanks so much!!!

I herd you like References so I put a reference in a reference so you can reference it while you reference it.

This really reminds me I have got to practice on human anatomy soon, and I've heard hands are one of the hardest parts to draw. I thaink you for uploading these, they look wonderful ! Especially the colored ones you drew on the bottom (:

Pheoniic In reply to Aeonrin [2012-10-17 00:03:29 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, hands are quite a beast! Although personally I have more issues with legs! x,D

Thank you!

Aeonrin In reply to Pheoniic [2012-10-17 09:04:34 +0000 UTC]

You're welcome : D

probably you've drawn much more than 100 hands in your life great idea, I might give it a try ^^

Pheoniic In reply to SpaceCastaway [2012-10-16 16:09:12 +0000 UTC]

Probably... but not good ones!
Go for it! Its a lot of fun, when you get in the swing of it!

Plush-Fiend [2012-10-10 15:53:29 +0000 UTC]

This is such an excellent idea for a drawing challenge. And the hands you've drawn are fantastic!

I think I may have to try this (hands and I often don't get along). Although I may try machinery, as I find that challenging too... So many choices...

Pheoniic In reply to Plush-Fiend [2012-10-10 15:56:22 +0000 UTC]

I agree! At first its a pain, but once you get in the routine of it, you'll never want to stop x,D

Thank you! u v u (I haven't seen improvement in my hand drawing skills, but I can work from a hand reference very well now)

Go for it man!
Machinery is cool too~

Plush-Fiend In reply to Pheoniic [2012-11-03 01:31:11 +0000 UTC]

I'll definitely have to try this challenge then. Not sure when, but eventually.

And you're welcome.

(Sorry for the late response, I lost your reply somehow).

RB-Illustration [2012-10-03 11:25:21 +0000 UTC]

I don't know how you have so much patience ;A; I really should do something like this because I'm atrocious at drawing hands (and generally any part of the anatomy xD). But I just know I'd throw the paper out the window after about two hands.

60 is amazing! *A*

Pheoniic In reply to RB-Illustration [2012-10-03 19:18:55 +0000 UTC]

I don't understand either pfft.
This was almost "Bear Bike" patience-level x,D

What? Nooo I was looking at that hand for a while in our collab, and it was perfect! xD

it really was hard starting though, I'll admit OTZ
Thanks!
