The On-Going Hand/Feet Battle

Sketchbook - 14-Jul-2008

More playing in my sketchbook. I’m really starting to love working in ink - I’m even considering starting to play with a nib and pen. :)

And yes, I am aware that her neck looks broken. ;) This is the reference I was using. I think I just tilted her head back a teensy bit too far. And the hands, oh, god, do not look at the hands. I think somewhere should offer a course strictly on drawing the human hands and feets. Seriously. I do not understand why I have the ability to draw almost life-like human face (erf, not in this sketch, though, obviously), but my feet and hands always look like ass. So weird.

I just need to focus on them more, methinks. I mean, in earnest. My proportions and examination of the human - female at least - figure are strong enough, but my hands and feet ruin the whole thing. I need to stop avoiding them by cowardly stylistic choices (see feet above) and just drawing the damn hands and feet.
