      @Lisa-Clark do you know about Clip Studio Paint? One of the cool things about it is it has poseable models to use as drawing references. They just had an update and added a hand camera. You use your phone camera on your hand and it poses the hand model in CSP to match. So canโ€™t find reference for a hand pose, make your own. That excited me.

          After a dry spell of many months I dredged up an old concept this morning (again) to try solve the problem of why it just wasn't working even though I had already redone it once. I was partly motivated by the bunny boys' latest draw-over video, so I am offering many many thanks for putting that out for the world each month. It might be many months again until I finish it, but the point is that I sat my butt in the chair today to start Iteration 3. Hugs and/or solidarity to everyone who is finding it hard to do that, too.

          Iteration 1:

          Iteration 2:

              @jenn it looks very promising! Can imagine the horrified look of the parent when walking into that scene. Great you picked it up again.

                @agathe Hi! I am in Turin, about two hours from the border. For the illo, my suggestions are by no means obligatory, but since I spend most of the past year working on storytelling, I thought I would offer something from what I've learned. For me, storytelling is one of the trickiest parts!

                  @NickyDrew It's such a struggle trying to figure out how far to take each element stylistically! I did go back and rework Hansel's face, then deleted most of it and ended up with a little more volume. I probably end up spending more time on cartoony faces than I do on more realistic ones! Draw, delete, draw, delete, hmm, there's something I like. I wonder why? Eh, just go with it! Etc.๐Ÿ˜†

                                @crispalomino I did not know about that! I think that could come in very handyโ€ฆ ๐Ÿ˜‚ Sorry, couldnโ€™t help myself.

                                Hands are hard and Iโ€™m all up for anything that can make it easier. Thanks!!

                                          @Blitz55 wow! Sounds like I've been missing out! I've always wanted to start figure drawing, but haven't made it a priority, but this really motivated me to try to find somewhere to do it soon! I definitely think that learning to really observe something and draw it in using what you see instead of what you picture in your head is an incredible skill to develop. I've always noticed that I have a much easier time drawing from photos, and I think that is because the image is already 'flattened' and framed for me and I don't have to really understand how it sits in space--which is not necessarily a good thing.

                                          Anyways, thank you for the motivation I will try to find a figure drawing class soon!

                                            @LauraA I agree, story telling is quite difficult, and I often find myself drawing stills, or characters that are not really located in space instead of an image that really tells a story, and I want to work on changing that so thank you!
