you cant literally draw your hand from memory...thats like painting the mona lisa from memory...it doesnt work.

The best you can do is draw something that looks like it could be your hand with details from memory.

It's some kind of sci-fi helmet I guess.Partially inspired by the Tau of WH40K,partially inspired by the Geth of Mass Effect.

I'm not saying it in that way, I mean that you can't just draw a standard hand and add features like scars etc and say that you drew your hand from memory... Committing the shape of something like your hand is quite a feat, as I said.

EDIT: Ah, interesting. You know, speaking of helmets, I'm still designing a helmet for this guy:

Hungry, is it better? And, while we're at it, let's compare it to the original before I had worked on him some more to see how much it's improved!

...And I thought that I was wasting time.

Commiting to memory something as dynamic and changing as one human hand is like memorizing all the roads in the world, it's possible but in the end do you truely have something useful for very long?

For instance I just got 2 new scars on my right hand that changed the way 5 wrinkles look, so I'd have to remember that and the next thing and some things are just too changing to keep track off...

Also I just go finished line cleaning on that dragon project...now to mess around with whats there and so on.

There's a difference between meticulously making sure every attribute and bloody skin cell is perfect and using a hand base.

Enough talk, and I don't want to argue, can I see a drawing of your hand from memory?

Drawing a hand is hard as it is,especially if you want to put detail on the visible knuckles and bones.

I'll draw you up a memory hand after I get done messing with this dragon...redrawing this is making me laugh.

It's head and neck is now sketched up but both it's body and legs are missing.

sweet now it has a wavy neck and it's body even will be more depthed.

a small preview to whats actually going on, with no reference and like 2 gimp layers.

still to do back end, arm and arm tweeks, playing around with the eye and teeth to make them look better

I think I'm going to end up not only moving it down but making it thinner and longer...

It's always best to think of objects as 3d shapes...like the neck as a tube.

Better deal with the magnet problem first before you draw a "memory hand", you might get attached to a fridge while drawing!

Nng.  Not totally pleased with this one.


It's a DF kobold, plus a tail because I'm clearly a closet furry.

I'm sorry, Hungry, but... What the hell?...

EDIT: Very nice, Lofn! Only thing that strikes me is the fact that he's either rather off-balanced or his legs are out of perspective.

I'm very far from having it where I'll be happy so... it's fine.

All i've done so far is the neck there the legs are to be done after that since those feet are just so I know theres a leg there.

as for the rest I'm probably going to change it so much it will be all my work...

and that kobold indeed does look a bit wobbly.
