You're not allowed to bash yourself on this thread any more. That art is great, and that hand is better than anything I could ever dream of drawing.
Bashing, what, I was just poking fun at myself. Particularly, when I tried to draw knuckles on it and then it hit me that the hand was actually incorrect. That text that came with the Roses was written over a period of hours (or maybe it was a couple of days, I forget) and were just things I noted within the time I drew it/them. Like how I forgot that I hate drawing that sun, for instance. I noticed other things contained within that text from minutes to hours between each other (which I do with most lengthy things typed up in Notepad).
I do find it interesting, and useful the keep in mind in the future, that it looked fine until I
really looked at it/how it was constructed. From now on, I'm gonna put an effort into avoiding basing things on "it looks okay at a glance, it's fine", even subconsciously.
It would only take you a few seconds to fix the hand thing. Probably less time than to notice it. x3
Not necessarily, but I do agree on the point that it's completely fixable. You say you've got hand problems, but you don't seem to be doing much about it.
And actually, yes, as plain lineart, it
was an easy fix, but it wasn't plain lineart by the time I noticed it. I would have totally fixed it had I not gotten as far as I had with the coloring/shading (particularly the shading; there doesn't appear to be much of it but it's also the lines around it and where in the huge-pile-of-layers-I-call-a-drawing that they are all located) in that general vicinity-- the coloring is actually just colored lines strategically layered to look like coloring (the coloring is almost never very smooth; I don't know if I'm the only one who has noticed that from being there behind the scenes and all), along with strategic manipulation in MSPaint (that's how I got those purple things to wrap around like that). Same with the shading, and it gets real tricky when using the airbrush brush (they don't have names, I just called it that) because it's pretty tough to see what you're actually doing with each separate line/stroke.
I don't finish the lineart before I color, nor do I finish coloring before adding shadows, if I do add shadows. Basically, lineart and coloring and always shading are interconnected, and often very interdependent, with one another.
It's one thing to explain all this, but maybe you could try playing with the program yourself; there's an
online version, as well as the offline one that I use which is virtually identical. Then again, people draw in different ways and blah blah blah art and drawing and am I getting boring I think I am I can't tell but I'll stop now.
...Suddenly, I remember this one thought I had: that it'd be pretty neat to record myself drawing, just to see it all at once. Too bad my laptop can't handle something like that, though (I've tried so many times :C).
Now if you ever catch me posting anything drawn on paper here and not fixing something, I have no excuse not to fix it (unless it's one of those things where it's practice and I still don't know what I'm supposed to be doing yet. Like ankles; how do those things even work).
