View topic - Halp my lineart sucks (Slight nudity) (I added more)
Yes there is a bit of nudity, I haven't drawn the clothes yet. Please give me feedback. I especially need help with hands. So bad at them.
Edit: I forgot to say that my reference is a stock photo by mjranum-stock on Deviantart. He has some great stock if anyone needs any.
And also a WIP. Stock used as reference courtesy of MJRanum.

I think it looks nice over all but with the hands I think you have the pinkies to far from the other fingers and the other fingers might need to be a little longer.
Thanks so much for the input, I am trying your advice now. Hands have always been a struggle for me so I forced myself to pick a photo where they were prominent. I need the practice.
How are you doing today?

I'm doing alright....the art forum is dead.
I also have trouble with hands. I never really know how to position them and the proportions are off.

I think hands are the bane of many artists existence. I should really post more in the art forum. I post here on occasion to get advice.
I usually don't get much...I'm still waiting for someone to price me.
I have no ideas about pricing myself. It's hard for me to do that on any site. I don't think much of my art.
I'd place yours among the better stuff....I don't know much about pricing myself or I wouldn't have asked in my thread.
Awww thank you so much, I pretty much never hear anything like that. I must have improved!
It looks good shape-wise, but I think it looks strange because it's just lines so far (and bare minimum at that!). Because in real life, we aren't outlined, it can look bad, even when it's really just fine.
It's our brains not being able to recognize quite as well. XD;
Adding shading and details and what have you would help it look more natural. Since you're using a stock photo it's hard to go wrong in drawing and painting, since it's simply drawing what you see. Normally the best thing for that is just to keep practising. :')
I don't know what sort of help you are looking for with hands, though. I'm assuming it's an issue that would be fixed with more detail, but would you care to elaborate more or...?

I think the hands just needed more work. i do plan to color it too, or to try to but I wanted to get clean lineart down first. Thanks so much for the response and advice!
This is my current progress.

AH! I think I see the problem: her fingers are a bit on the short side. Her pinky looks perfect, but then her ring, middle, and index fingers are about the same size as that one. So they look sort of knubby.
Is she anyone in particular? I love where it's going to far. Unf that fire. o 0o

No not really anyone in particular XD and yeah I see what you mean. As I'm doing it I feel like the fingers are too long, but maybe that's because I am zoomed in so much. Ah the perils of digital drawing. I like the fire too, I can't wait to color it!
Yeah. In general, the middle finger should be as long as the palm is.
They aren't even close to that long, though. Should be a useful tip to remember when in doubt, now. XD;
Why didn't I remember this earlier?
I can't wait to see it, also. I love fire/fire themed characters. o uo;;

Hmm yeah that is true, I just checked on my hand! I will work on them until they look a lot better. I need to work on the clothes too and figure out some kind of background.
