I've noticed that I do it, too, usually.   The shading looks nice, but you could add more structure (it'll help to understand the hand itself). Perhaps feel for the hard and soft spots of your hand, and start from there.   Ah... I totally miss thinking in terms of art. Are you big on drawing?    I just started aha but uh I haven't stopped since I started Cool. If you just started, may I make a suggestion? I need to leave, but if you've never done blind contour, that's a really great way to understand detail, especially with hands—or really, just the human body in general. It also helps if you have an awkward position, or your angle is super foreshortened. Plus, it's really fun and silly to do.   Night. yup, I've done a few actully I'm reading "drawing on the right side of the brain" actually, and I imagine you found that exercise from there irrationalthought Posted at 10:10 pm on Sep. 25, 2008 Quote: from mr unknown at 10:05 pm on Sep. 25, 2008 Quote: from irrationalthought at 1:03 am on Sep. 26, 2008 I think you may have a slight tendency to make the thumb too big.
