Everyone keeps redrawing this wonky frame



Thought I would give it a go

Monster design

Kinda funky

Kinda funky

It is. Hands look weird, expecially left hand. On the left hand, while I don`t have problems with a thumb, index and middle finger just faced not like a thumb and a palm, down, but look faced away, I think it can be fixed by re-drawing lines between fingers phalanxs. Ring finger feels like it grows from palm, it also seems shorter than index finger, though it usually longer in most people. Distance between fingers seems a bit too long.

thanks for the input i didn't ask for.

His left hand looks like a facesucker.

No, you did ask for it, implicitly, by posting your drawing and moreover calling it funky. Look, I'm not saying that your drawing is bad (because it isn`t), it just left hand seems weird for me. It`s sketch anyway, sketches are meant to be redrawn and redrawn again.

It is a bad drawing actually, like most of my experimental stuff. I called it funky because I was playing with the proportions and posing, getting a little goofy, and it shows.

I wouldn`t call it bad, I can see goofy proportions and posing, but I don`t see anything outright wrong with it, it can be turned into personal artstyle technique and people would recognize it.

Most of us don't post here for criticism (at least, I don't, unless I specifically ask for it from like Aria or Aether), it's more to document our progression as artists. There are a lot of other places I use for criticism that go beyond exceptionally obvious things like "the hands look weird lol.", you completely missed the point of the exercise.

Well, I'm not just criticising you, I leave a note for myself that I dislike this or that thing and how I would fix it.

Also you can (and you maybe actually do) document it on some dedicated to drawing site, where you can clearly see all your works, when they were made and total number, so you can easily observe your progress, so what is the point of documenting it here, if not discussing it with someone else?

Well, this is a forum thread. It's meant for discussion. If you're not looking for some kind of response, why share it?

documentation of my progress, mostly. some people are invested in that, believe it or not.

I for one think feedback is to be expected in this thread, or any forum for sharing your art. Maybe not on your personal instagram feed or whatever, but in threads like this, subreddits, art groups on facebook and the like.

nah for the most part i know where my faults are. i think ive asked for critique once because i felt like my perspective was maxed out. generally no one here posts criticism unless specifically asked for. and thats because in all honesty we have maybe 2 users here who know what they're talking about.

I only started a few days ago.  I'm learnding
