I'm kinda ashamed to ask this, but could you make a tutorial on how to draw hands? ;A;

omg dont be ashamed at all!! Hands are generally tough to get used to, lots of artists struggle with it! so dont be ashamed i feel you.

and I actually have made a hand anatomy guide before in fact! If you want to get better at drawing hands I def recommend you learn the basic anatomy first. Please check out the ones I made, I try to make it simple and easy to understand:

Artistic Anatomy: Hands Part 1

Artistic Anatomy: Hands Part 2

There’s my guide to the anatomy, but here’s some more tips that I’ve noted to myself that I’d like to include

I'm Kinda Ashamed To Ask This, But Could You Make A Tutorial On How To Draw Hands? ;A;

First off, I’d like to just note on the fingers: if you pay close attention to your own hand, you may notice the fingers are ever ever so slightly curved inward. It’s a very subtle detail, but I noticed that, despite how slight it is, it can make a hand look more lively, and less stiff.

Second, the “M” on the palm! Your hand moves in many ways, and because it does it creates creases in your hand. The most prominent creases appear to make an M shape; this is handy to remember for what I’m going to talk about next. (It also could be a “W” I guess, or to be more specific a “ )X( “; just think of it in whatever way helps you remember!)

SO now that you see the M, draw your hand as a basic blocked shape and add your details. As you do, you can see that the M divides the palm into four basic parts!

When the hand moves, parts A, B, or C of the palm, alone or in different combos, will create the general poses that the hands do normally. These parts are the parts that move, with D being stationary, no matter what!

Here’s a chart of all the possible combos. Once you have down what part of the hand moves for a certain pose, you can change up the fingers and tweak it a bit to do what you need to make it more specific!

This is simply my method of drawing hands. God knows there are hundreds of tutorials out there by other artists, but personally, this way helps me the best (after learning the anatomy first).

This way I can divide the hand and combine the parts in any such way I need!

Hands take a lot of effort to grapple, and you need to practice them a lot, especially foreshortening of the hand; that’s really something you need to learn through your own studies. Look at your own hands, draw hands from life, from magazines, shows, comics; just draw hands! You’ll eventually figure out a method that works best for you. So to get better at drawing hands; draw hands!! And don’t stress over it, have fun with it!

I woke up at 8 in the morning, just to see my dash filled with this GIF

I’m one of the people who freaked out by this.

Wow, just wow.

Moving on, I somehow noticed something on Snufkin.

His hand is on his shoulder, showing some anxiety or something. And his face shows that he’s looking sad or hurt.

And Snufkin was sitting on a boat…

…which is what the ensemble cast used in Episode 2 - The Fire Spirit.

Scenarios

If the GIF happens at the beginning, then that scene is probably the one where Snufkin feels upset about a volcano erupting. Or perhaps, this is the scene where Moomintroll convinces Snufkin to come with them to the island. Looking at the episode picture itself, it looks like he feels reluctant, almost had the same facial expression from the GIF.

If it happens during or in the climax, and if we followed the Comet in Moominvalley storyline, he must have been also sad about the ocean disappearing because of the threat. It might be debunked because of that certain blue spot in the GIF. A possible worse case scenario was that Snufkin did something wrong (again), such as abandoning the Fire Spirit and he regretted it. So, Moomintroll cheers Snufkin up and the two searched for the Spirit. Snufkin must have done that because something within him feels uncomfortable and he just burst into anger, like what happened in The Spring Tune with Teety-woo.

If the post happens at the ending of the episode, this is probably where Snufkin reflected on what he did in saving the Fire Spirit. For example, he actually missed the Spirit. I have a hunch that the volcano and the Fire Spirit is connected, the eruption happened when the Fire Spirit is separated from the volcano. Think of the “Chicken Little” movie. C.L stumbled upon a baby alien, then an alien invasion happened because of the said alien went missing. So it might happen the same thing, and it’s up to the cast to return the Fire Spirit where it belongs. Moomintroll comforts Snufkin and beckoned the vagabond to come with him in going home. Cue the GIF hand holding scene, then the end credits roll.

I’m not entirely sure if this is episode 2 since the next eight episodes weren’t shown yet, but looking at the third episode, the hunch is strong.

Also, look back at Snufkin’s ending speech in Snufkin and the Park Keeper.

“I almost start to enjoy the responsibility.”

The whole episode itself is like a contrast of his personality. A vagabond who likes freedom is (probably forced) to take responsibility such as taking care of the woodies. The Spring Tune has the part where he interacts with someone who not only admires him, but also reminded him of a certain friend… That somehow makes Snufkin uncomfortable since he’s not ‘ready’ to go back.

And in this episode, it’s now ‘saving moominvalley’ or some sort. Might be good for a character study of him.

Enderman Husbands aka Scav and his husband Dude. They are going for a mini-adventure near their home in the mountains in the background. This one is my first attempt at a landscape and I think drawing to characters interacting? Idk but I had a lot of fun doing this for myself and Dude. I also didn't draw Scav as an actual enderman because I wanted to practice hair and kept laughing every time I made him bald like he canonically is lmao. For info on Dude's character: He is part enderman and goblin (I'm second-guessing the last part because I'm an idiot but we vibe bois). He married Scav to help him out. their relationship started platonically but ended up romantic.

(Cheeky update bois, our characters are both ace and own a “sex” dungeon which is actually just a storage room haha.)

Did I just seriously scroll tumblr’s Moomin, Murmik, Joxter and Snufkin tags for two and half hours instead of sleeping?

I sure as hell did.

Okay I’m gonna stand up for myself and post these so that others know about this. This is serious business here. I have stated in my rules that you DO NOT GUILT TRIP THE MUN! Yet these anons have not followed my rules!

Please reblog this and spread this around because this is not acceptable to be sending this to ANY rp blog! This is triggering and can cause suicide for the mun themselves! I almost had a panic attack over this myself!
