a really really really bad piece of art I did of a dragon (can you tell it's a dragon?) just to get back into it after a few days of being really busy

[WingedZephyr]

Yes, I can tell it's a dragon.

well at least one person can, and you haven't gone blind from its sheer awfulness too! a win!

[mulchardude]

Haha I can see the dragon, too.

And it doesn't blind me.

you're getting better! I have to say, that your progress is quite excellent. main problem I have is the eyes. but otherwise, it's pretty good! keep working at it! *hugz*

I decided to do a study in body sketching tonight, yes I am aware that he doesn't have any hands because I'm scared to draw hands

[WingedZephyr]

DRAW ZE HANDS.

I say so.

DRAW ZE HANDS.

I say so.

but I'm scared! *cowers under the couch*

What's there to be scared of? It's just lines on paper. You'll never get better at them if you just ignore them.

The tail's a bit too thin and stiff. The outlines of a tail should be curvy and flowy.

I need to find a few tutorials about drawing hands, i shall do so tomorrow night after I get home from jetskiing. The tail I tried your advice by drawing and erasing, but I know I royally screwed it up I'll try to add more flow to it next time

For the longest time, I just drew these blobby balls for hands.  Like vaguely the shape of the back of the hand with the fingers curled behind it.  My biggest problem is I draw the fingers too fat and there's not enough room for them all.   

Hands are hard.  But they're worth learning.

My art teachers have always been hardcore:  Draw your hand in a strange pose without looking at the paper and without lifting the pen, in a single long stroke!  Blind contour.    Doing it while looking at what you're doing is way easier after that.  Even though the first few blind ones look absolutely crazy...

search dragoart.com for some tutorials if you have problems. they have them for everything, including one for a wolf anthro and one for a cat anthro.

I drew a goose randomly because I've been seeing geese all day, hand studies will be posted later
