Nice. Wish I had some talent in art. Can never translate what's in my head to paper.

First: Thanks all.
And well, I am drawing for 10 or 11 years now and only recently managed to draw hands...
If I shoudl make a recommendation on reading material to those trying to learn:
This one helped me a lot, as the tipps on proportions apply to near all styles.
(Problem is, obviously, that all english versions cost that much )

If I may I would like to link this here as I am rather happy how this particular one turned out.

How cute!

This is ridiculously expensive I've seen "how to draw manga" booklets in most bookshops for much more reasonable prices - but even then, they never struck me as particularly useful if you wanted to draw, well, anything other than manga. (But then, I've bought loads of "how to draw [silhouettes/perspective/hands/horses/armour/etc.] books and I hardly use them anyway, so... ^^)

Well, the how to draw books by that author (Hikaru Hayashi ) are, as said, very useful, as, unlike some other 'how to draw' books i've seen the lessons there can be, again as said, applied to various styles.
Over here in Germany they cost around 20 euro each, guess the problem is that they aren't published in the UK/America anymore/at all

On the bright side, though, the language actually doesn't matter as the drawings are pretty selfexplanatory. So ordering the german versions is an option I dare say

[Anilori]

20 euros is much more reasonable^^ maybe one of these days if I want to brush up on my German...

(I have a wooden mannequin too for proportions, but it's always been pretty useless, even before it lost an arm; it's much too stiff. I drew a goofy smile on his head and he keeps me company. His name is Charles)

By the way, I'm sorry, I haven't drawn much lately, Discworld or otherwise ; my inspiration level is quite low...

[LilMaibe]

I know the inspiration problem. ATM I am just redoing old traditional art (and the ask thing)
(And before I hijack the thread, a last note on the books: It has, in the book on proportions for example a very lovable page on how do draw the characters when they are a certain 'number of heads' high)

[LilMaibe]

Look, it's Adrian again (Digital Lineart)

[Jan Van Quirm]

Nice one meeps

*whispers* slightly perturbed with the upper chest area in that it's looks like he's developing a little bit of cleavage...

[deldaisy]

Man boobs???? Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I personally never date a man with better cleavage than me.....

It doesnt matter Anilori.... I get so much delight every time I see your avatar. LOVE that.

[LilMaibe]

Dx Jaaaaaan....
Worst thing: I can't spot the area you mean to fix it.

Is it the crease above his right hand that is tucked under his left elbow?

[Anilori]

Aw, thank you Del^^ I do love my little bird

Meeps -> I don't see anything wrong with Adrian's cleavage However, I feel like there's a bit of his left upper arm missing - it shouldn't disappear completely behind his forearm like this...

[LilMaibe]

I see what you mean, Anilori.
I just have the feelign his arm would appear too thick if I draw a bit of the robe there.
And I need to fix his right hand. It's too huge...
