Inktober day 18: night owl :3 This was harder than I thought #inktober2016 #inkstagram #inktober #inking #drawing #art #artistsofinstagram #traditionalart #owl #owldrawing #owls #showyourwork

how did you figure out how to do hands

well when I do hands I tend to break them into 3 big shapes 

starting with the wrist then palm, thumb then the fingers 

once I have the big shapes in I separate the fingers

here are some more examples of the different parts

one of the best ways that I learned how to draw hands was to draw a LOT of them, in different poses, while looking at a reference. This is a site that I found useful, 

it has 3D models of hands that you can change the view so you can see the same pose from different angles. p.s. this site i linked to does contain nude figures just a heads up  

Wolverine and my process on painting the Wolverine :D

ANIMATION INDUSTRY MAIN SOFTWARE

Someone asked what is the industry mainstream regarding software, this is our mental map, to arrive to OZ, follow the yellow sidewalk! :)

Please take this with a grain of salt. This is just valid for 2015, and this is a set of recommended choices if you want a pro life, not if you are an occasional artist.

I made the post because we both faced a choice once, and we chose Max instead of Maya.. Director instead of Flash.. UGH.
