I can't express how much I LOVE the way you draw hands! They are just absolutely amazing and so SO expressive. Do you have any advice on how to improve? (other than the obvious, "practice", lol)
THANK YOU!! Hands are my #1 favorite thing to draw and i love using them and touching to enhance the feeling of a drawing so that makes me so happy to hear!! lol not the dreaded 'just practice' - I tried to put together an impromptu example for you: I’ve always loved drawing hands and include them in my art a lot but I can say for certain that there was a huge boost in my abilities when i started tracing from real life images to better understand the way fingers curve and deform around objects, especially - I’ll take a reference picture or two, trace, figure out which looks better and then try to re-draw it:
You want to draw a character holding a bottle? Alright, find an object that’s about the size you want, get your camera (a shitty res phone camera will do in my case), and get to it!
I like to do some variations because sometimes things just look *goofy* when you have simpler lines depicting them, so here’s 4 different ones:
Alright, next step - rough lines over to see how it translates to 2d:
#1 looks goofy so that one's out - I like #2 the best but the grip'll translate better if I close the grip of the two first fingers, so I'll do that (or retake the picture) and then re-do it on my own while eyeballing the reference i just made (I usually just draw the lines for hands directly but if i'm having trouble i break it down into rough shapes first) :
Think of it kind of like building a neat little reference library in your own brain - next time I want to draw a hand holding a bottle I can think back on this and what I picked up :)
Thanks again, hope this helps!
Expanding my Teen Wolf character repetoire :]
Lydia and Scott have very drawable faces - Allison is surprisingly difficult. We'll get there! Pose inspiration for Scott and Allison from Watching New York, clothes my own as per usual.
(i prefer scott with his season 1 fluff, i will never get over the loss - also i realized way too late in the process that Allison should be taller than Scott esp with the shoes but OH WELL, next time!)
I had the dumbest idea while working on some other TW art involving my choice in background noise while I draw...
It's Always Sunny In Beacon Hills
Alternate Title - Teen Wolf but with Brain Damage

Watched Twilight for the first time ever in the year of our lord 2025 and i have to speak my truth
no i will not elaborate it's the too-long jacket sleeves again
(my friend K found out I've never watched it and insisted. it was a wild experience)
What was my plan for the day: a quick warmup and get some work done on a comic project
What ended up happening: mid-panel i remembered this image, the demons overtook me and suddenly it’s 10pm ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

What brush do you use for your linework? I love your art 💚💚💚
Thank you! ♥ I primarily work in Procreate and usually use Tara's Oval Sketch NK for lines - it's a little pricey at $10, but I had shopped around a lot to find something that worked well for me and it's been worth the purchase for me. I use it for shading as well, I'd say 80% of a drawing is done with that - I'm especially fond of tilting the pen and getting some texture that way.
I always turn stabilization completely off for any brush I'm using, as I prefer to have more control over the flow : >
My other go-to's for shading is procreate's own Soft Brush (airbrush), Spectra and Round Brush (painting) - Spectra is really good for adding some texture :)
My Name is Derek Hale page 02 - in which the song lyric text is too tiny but hopefully somewhat readable, and stiles is having A Morning.
Next page is once again queued up for next weekend! this and page 3 have too many panels crammed into them, it gets better i promise lol

Another of my friend K's suggestions - when she found out I'd never watched twilight she suggested we do so together, but she keeps insisting she won't tell me what happens in the last ones in advance because then I'll 'never agree to watch them'. i am afraid.

This song always gets me in a soft mood (even more than usual, if possible) tried sth new with the hands, vaguely inspired by egon schiele
In the interest of giving my hand a break, here's something a little less refined - I really just wanted to draw Erica in this top of mine but i couldn't not add her boys. the terrible trio of my heart.
First time drawing all 3 of them, looking forward to capturing them better in the future 🫰
