Title: [WIP] Avatar, hand!
Post by: talin on August 30, 2009, 11:24:42 am

Hello again!

I need an avatar, so I started drawing a hand... eventually it's supposed to come out of the ground,
looking veiny and evil and all that.

OK, let's try this.
I'd say it lacks a bit of contrast and... i don't know how much the ring finger is bent, but it looks strange to me seeing it as tall as the pinky  ;)

Where's the light source? right now the hand has got a highlight exactly at the 1-pixel wide edge in an up-left direction. Err. Just look at your own hand under a light and you can see that that's not where the shading falls - try to work with volumes of light and shadow to give some actual definition!

Good luck
