Looking for feedback: hand
11d
Cyan Cristata
I thought my construction was good. It was fun doing it, and I was really enjoying myself until I had to draw the line art and turn that first study/constructional drawing into something that actually looks like a hand.
But I can’t say I’m fully content with it. I feel like I’m missing something, but I don’t really know what exactly. What do you think it is?
Thank you.
I took time to take feedback and study, and put more work into studying shadows. Studying how to control the pen better. How to convey form better, how to take time to elevate skills further on this hand project. This is the place where I am now. It is teaching me each time to spot mistakes easier and easier. Although I am still missing a lot and am in the process of getting better at it and being more in control of what I am doing, and leading it in the direction I want.
With traditional drawing, I get much better results. My focus and line control are much better, and I can really focus on the shape of the hand. What am I doing wrong digitally? My lines don’t connect with each other as easily there. Do you have the same experience?
Ok, I was not really happy with this, and I thought, “Ok, if I need to improve this, I need to change and do something different.”
I need to work more slowly, more with a process-like, step-by-step mindset, and observe and study fingers more. Perspective is not enough, and I need to learn how to control the tablet better.
I can see progress and improvement. Maybe the line weight could be a bit better, and the overall shape can still be improved. I am way more satisfied with my overall control.
Next is to study values and shadows and finish it off.
