Hardest body part to draw?
When it comes to me, I always have problems with the Hands and feet.
Whenever possible, I try to put the hands behind the back. For feet, I usually never do a full body. Discuss. The hardest part for you to draw. How did you/how are you overcoming it? Is there any shortcuts you used to draw them better? (hiding them, making them chibish, ETC) |
hands are the hardest for me...hands down. XDDDD
...although, I always try to draw them and not hide them, because if you don't draw them, you'll never get any better at them. And if you hide them behind the character's backs, it's blatantly obvious that you aren't drawing the hands on purpose...trust me. Been there, done that. LOL. |

But if I'm doing art for a friend on gaia, I never try to put the hands in. :lol: |
I was hoping people would say hands and feet, i have a hard enough time drawing at all, so small, complicated body parts are completely beyond me, i could never attempt a full body shot, i tend to get down just below the shoulders and wimp out http://i9.tinypic.com/63mfali.gif
i drew one hand once! http://i8.tinypic.com/6afk0ea.jpg and that looks like i only gave my friend 3 fingers! :oops: maybe his Coco ate the other one http://i9.tinypic.com/6bk91ll.gif It's actually really gratifying for me when i see other people who i consider as accomplished artists saying they have difficulty drawing some areas, it makes me feel a lot less hopeless myself 8) |
Hands are probably the hardest part. The greatest problem with drawing hands is the pose. Should the hand hold something or in what pose the picture would look normal etc.
|
without a doubt, hands and feet, or just really dynamic poses in general. I have trouble leaving the hand looking relaxed neat to the person, or when they are holding something haveing their arm not look so darn stiff ^^; as for avoiding it.. theres no doing, i did my hands behind the back thing some years ago and that never helped at all so.. onward ho in drawing the hard bits!
|
Deffinately the eyes for me. I alwayse over think them, should i make them bigger for more emotion? Should i make them smaller to look more realistic? Should i use angles or curves? anime' style, disney or realism? Why can't i seem to get them the same size ever? And pupil positioning on 3/4 veiw.
here are a couple 'how to draw hand' tutorials i found if anyone is interested ttp://www.deviantart.com/deviation/35494492/ http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/37882731/ |

Hands most definitely.
Feet are pretty easy if you keep em simple. The hands take the longest for me unless it's chibi art in which the hands are usually blob-like. |
Hands and (for some reason) the bust part. >_o; For hands, I made myself practice drawing my own in different positions, pay attention to the bone structure, and looked up some tutorials. For the bust, I just use tutorials and such for guiding. I try to avoid any shortcuts. :3

D:
I Can't draw pr0n. I can't draw bewbies and private parts. But >.> Not like I should worry about that. But otherwise, drawing's pretty easy. I'll just draw flat chested girls. |
I have to agree with you but to me, feets are harder to draw. >< i don't draw anything below the knee and i use pencil for the hand.
|
I guess hands..
|
relaxed hands... and dynamic/natural poses ^^'
i do try to draw them though *nods* |
Hands have always been difficult for me, but I'm starting to get better at them. I do use my own hands for reference all the time, though! I have my handy mirror in front of me so I can see how it's supposed to look.
Feet are also difficult for me - at this point, they're harder than hands for me to do and you wouldn't think that'd be the case. There's just something about them that make them difficult to make look natural. The other thing I struggle with is actually mouths/lips. I mean, I can draw them, but as I'm painting, getting them to look right with the face is difficult. I don't know if it's so much the lips themselves or all the area of skin around the mouth - getting it to blend seamlessly into the face rather than looking pasted on. Especially on guys, I find this difficult to do. The only thing I can do is keep forcing myself to practice these things rather than hiding them. Admittedly, it's easy to hide feet since I draw so many ladies in long dresses. But as far as the lips part - can't really hide that! And it's usually obvious if you try to hide hands. Too, since my style is more toward realism, there aren't any shortcuts I can take. |

And i agree with you there, the only thing to do is practice. I remember when i was a starting artist i would draw hands behind backs all the time, Legs in 'potato sack' pants because i didn't draw the naked form before adding clothes. Sometimes no mouth (i thought it looked edgey. lol) or hair covering one eye. ah well. we live , we learn. |
I tend to enjoy hands (except for when I'm just having an off day) and I love faces the most. The things that are probably the roughest for me (and no one has said yet) are the waist area where the legs join to the hips and the legs in general. I can never get their shape to look right it seems. Practice practice. I'm also not on good terms with feet lately; we had a fight and now I'm sleeping on the couch. ;_; Heh

Hahaha i used to cover one eye, too.^^ I also remember when i was five, i drew hands like a flower.
|
I only do heads.
& i suck at those, seriously... i hate art! |
I have problems with facial expressions!
>> It's difficult because I sketch really sloppily and one ill--placed line can move the mood of a face entirely. Then, when I get around to cleaning up the sketch, I can't tell if (s)he was happy, angry, sad, or frustrated! xP I don't try to hide it, I usually sort it out. The only thing I can do to fix it is to a) draw more neatly, and b) practice more exaggerated expressions. We shall see. |
Cinnamon, I do too and I hate that! My problem is I'm stuck on this whole lovely/handsome thing and sometimes certain expressions don't allow the face to be lovely or handsome and it's difficult for me to look at it and make it look right in my mind. I can pretty much do calm, sad, and ticked off. But more extreme expressions, I struggle with! That's definitely something I want to practice more of this year.

Well, as most people said, hands and feets for me too. I'm trying to pratice lots of those but seems that I can't grasp smething important about them. Mostly the hand when they curve around something, without make them look all slime gelly like. |
LEGS! DX They're eviiiiil!!!!
Also toes/feet and hands, very hard. |
