A hand drawn by hand and later coloured in photoshop. I still need to learn how to shade correctly :/ |

The green line doesn't look very twisted in the colored version. |

I like the uncolored one, the colored version kinda ruined it. |

Work on your coloring... I like the black/white one better. |

You couldn't.. be a little more specific? I'm not really sure exactly what i need to practise on. Thanks for your response though. |

Give the hand more depth. Darken every finger except the forefinger. (The middle finger the least shaded and the little finger the most. You get the point) Don't be afraid to use a lot of contrast. The proportions is really wrong on some places, like the middle finger, waaaay too long. Also, you know you've got three joints in your fingers right? :P You've forgotten the last one on some fingers. |

oh right. i knew there was something wrong with the fingers. About the shading; I'm having problems with visualizing where the light source is when working with 2d, watching my own hand doesn't really help much :/ |

look more. Look at 2d shading, too. |

oh right, forgot to ask what made you like the sketch more than the coloured version. only the green twisted one, or something else? |

meh, you have the exact style of 95% of the people who show their work on the net. I'm sorry, but that's the fact and I've seen too many of these, I just got tired to say the same thing over and over again. Don't get offended, it's nothing bad, it's just in the average zone, but with more practice you could brake the barrier. Basically if you want to get good the first step is to analyze your work and self-critique it (and share your conclusions with us; "I still need to learn how to shade correctly :/" is not enough) and to draw from life (still life). That's THE most important thing, because it's the only way you can understand the volumes and study the materials and how light bounces off surfaces and how shadows are cast and so on. As you study these, your technique will develop as well. If you're not really interested in improving or if you're doing this just as a hobby, when your main goal is something else, I don't think you'll brake the barrier. I'm not forcing you to do this, by all means, just do what you want, I say what I experienced and what I've seen in others. |
