ART POSTING

(Subject not going through....Third time's the charm...??)

Art stuff thread starting...NOW!  If you draw stuff, you can post it here! I draw in a sort of anime/manga/toon style, but if you don't, don't let that stop you from posting your stuff!  I would love to see other people's art so post away!  They can be OCs, fan art, or just random stuff.  You can use any media, including digital, like I do!  Just to let you chatterboxers know, I started this thread so we can share our tricks of the trade with each other.  Feel free to: ask questions about how to draw certain things, post techniques, share art, and mostly HAVE FUN!  If you draw your OCs, feel free to share information about them such as their names and that sort of thing.  Same goes for fan art since not all of us know where these characters are from.  You don't have to be polished with your art.  I myself am just a beginner at anime/manga/toon.  I'm not good at hands so if any of my hands looks particularly cruddy, you know why.  I also struggle sometimes with feet so same goes for that.  If any of you know how to draw a particularly good hand or foot, feel free to share your trick for it.

Going to post a picture of my OC, Tuxedo, if this post goes through okay.

Hands: Add the fingers. At this point I realized my palm was too wide, so I fixed that.

Hands: I add the details. I do a lot of work when I ink, tightening and adding details. You can do more in this stage if you like, so the inking is easier. Keep the hand simple!

Hands: I ink, using a Sharpie for the outlines and a Micron for the inside (wrinkles and such).

There you go- my wonderful tutorial on how to draw hands. Hands look different depending on the pose, the model, and the artist. I have very long fingers, and so my drawn hand has long fingers as well, etc. I hope this helps you draw hands better!

@Autumn Moon, those are really good hands! I especially like the peace sign. Hands, feet, and noses are probably what I struggle with the most.

Thanks, Shoshannah! I knew a lot of people had trouble with drawing hands and feet, so I wrote a tutorial for hands. Nothing I can do about feet- I can’t draw them, so I can’t tell you how to!

What I have most trouble drawing is expressions, so it would be great if there could be a tutorial. :)

Shoshannah, I also struggle a lot with drawing hands and feet (Right now my hands look like dragon claws XD, and my feet..... maybe I'll post how I draw a human) but I love to draw animals, so tell me to draw a wolf's back leg or something and I can do it..... juuuuuuust not a perfect model of human composition. XD 

Everybody is posting all sorts of cool stuff! I MUST BE PART OF IT *Ahem* I mean, uh, I really want to post something! 

I love to draw these tiny dragons.... =)

Here are the paintings I was talking about that I've made as Christmas presents. This one is the one I'm most proud of:

And one more with a verse on it:

These two are also presents, but instead of quotes or Bible verses, I did a rooster and fish. I used reference photos, but did it freehand. I did the fish on a small canvas and the rooster on a small block of wood. I'm pretty proud of both:

These are beautiful, Leeli! I would buy these to hang up in my room! Bible verse art is one of my favorite things. And the fish and rooster are also super cool- I really like how the fish has a lot of colors and texture.

Awww, that rooster's adorable! I love chickens so much. That fish is super cool- almost looks 3D, actually. I love the colors you used!
