    Looks about right~ Though for me the biggest problem has always been hands. I usually think of some creative way to avoid drawing them in detail. Like holding something or hiding them behind the back or cut off the page loool.

    All of my feels. So many of them. The eye on the right doesn't look bad though.

    Although, drawing hands/feet is a lot more difficult, I think. They're so complicated yet so simple and extremely important in figure drawings... the bane of my artistic existence.

    You know, If you continued that drawing it would probably turn out to be some kind of abstract masterpiece in the end~

    Eyes aren't that bad unless it's a weird angle, it's the hands that are really hard.

    Reminds me of Rob Liefield drawings-- he's known for being rich disproportionate to his talent at drawing comics, and usually hides elements like hands and feet he doesn't want to bother with. Not that it's a huge deal for normal people though lol, I have the same issues if I were to draw.

    At least in writing if you want two identical sentences, you can copy and paste. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    It's always like this, kkk
    You do "the most perfect eye in the world" in one side then when you try to draw the other it's more like "the second most perf... oh, ops... eh... unless it's a eye, right (?)"

    Interestingly, hands are not so bad because you can look at one while drawing with the other. Also, the sharper lines make them much easier than the very subtle contours of the face and eyes.

    Hand are not so bad? I get completely messed of drawing hands.
    But we can have a point, if it's realist of course it's easier hands, but if it's manga/comic it's easier draw eyes than hands (much more).

    A couple more minutes and that eye would be fine

    Hands and feet always turn out the worst. stupid fingers

    Oh and using my own hand for reference almost never works for me because I can never get the right angle :frowning2:
