Drawing Challenge#5 - My First Foray into Drawing
Ever since i got to know about the block-chain technology, I have been fascinated with the possible applications, and I found a fascinating facet of it in Steemit.
I had been browsing the steemit, without an account, for a few days now and i stumbled into something which did not happen to be a post about cryptocurrencies/mining/praise for steemit and took me back to my childhood, a.k.a, Drawing. The post I was looking was by @kitcat titled Drawing Challenge#5 - Draw a hand.
So I decided to give my lifelong desire to draw one more chance. So I took inspiration from @kitcat's post and opportunity from @helene's post in response to which @kitcat had actually written the post. So here it goes, hopefully you guys out there would help me with some critique.
Process Documentation
Search for a 'reference-image'
My first thought was to just try it, so I thought i would just hold my left hand on the table, un-moving, and just go for it... but within minutes I realized my @kitcat's method of clicking a picture as reference was multi-million folds better... so I grabbed the phone-camera and found my-self in various awkward poses to click a decent picture of one of my hands. I settled on this one.
Drawing the guide lines
Drawing the rough fingers
I know I know... I messed up the little finger (I ain't no Arya though) .... to my dismay and surprise, I did not even had a eraser in my house!!
Note to self: get some supplies.
Drawing the rough thumb
Giving everything a better curvature
Add the most prominent details
Shading
The Final Product and My Pride
Hope you guys liked my drawing (I know I know, but a guy can atleast hope!!).
Please do tell how can I improve.
