Drawing tutorial #4 (hand)

Alrite, this entry is about how to draw hands. There are not much to tell actually. But i think, the best way is to look at your own hand/palm and draw.

Like anything else, practice makes perfect. so, good luck!

Well, before that, just for guides, our hand are made of several cylindrical shapes. for example, pic below;

 

from this basic shape, you draw the details and make something like below as your final product;

Drawing tutorial #2

Now is a tutorial for drawing a woman.
As usual, start with the posture of your character.

 

As for drawing a woman, the pelvic bone is a bit bigger than a man. The shoulder is narrower and also, of course, there're breasts.

Dont make your character look muscular unless your intention is to create a tough woman with a bit of muscle.

 

Well, this woman is wearing a baju kurung and a scarf. So, lets put on her clothes. When you are done with the sketch, outline with black ink pen.

 

Then, erase all the sketch mark and work on the details of your character. 

 

Well, i certainly need more practice on how to draw the baju kurung. ;)
