And man, those hands were tough to draw, I mean... it's hard enough to draw one hand that doesn't look ridiculous, but in sequence... crazy! I tried all kinds of ways - 1. having a rough structure of 2 simple shapes (let's say ovals), one for the palm, one for the fingers as a whole, and then detailing further. 2. just visualizing the shape and drawing straight from imagination... it actually worked best in a few cases. 3. the fingers scribbled quickly and then cleaned up. Ultimately, I used combinations of all of the above, and lots of erasing and redoing :D and scribbling and then erasing some more... and refining and erasing... 'till they looked acceptable. Hands are the undoing of man. :D

About me
I'm a character animator, visual artist, game dev, and music composer. I like to doodle, write, experiment, and plan my next big thing. I love tech that inspires and enables art. I have a formal background in music composition. And I like to walk around the world and see things up close. Archives
