I was just wondering how you guys overcome the hardships of drawing hands? I used to make a rectangular restrictive line around where I wanted to draw the hand and that kept them from getting too big but lately it seems that I'm just getting worse at drawing hands. No matter what I do. crying Help!

I know but the 'construction' lines do help! Practice with a harder lead like 2H or something to help keep those sketchy lines light then use a softer lead for your finished lines (also known as 'object' lines in technical drawings.) I also find tools like an erasing shield (a thin metal plate with different shaped holes) and a stick type eraser helps a lot. If all else fails, try using tracing paper so you don't have all that erasing to do once you're done.

Nah, all drawings are done with a pencil and paper. What makes them better is practise! smile I used to do all my drawings with whatever paper I had and a 0.5mm mechanical pencil when I was first starting.

Yeah but then you finish with pen and what not.

What pen do you use? Is there some special paper that I don't know about!! All this is sooooo confusing!!! >_<

I don't use a pen actually. I'm too scared I'll wreck the pencil sketch! Almost all of my inking is done digitally. sweatdrop

Special paper? Not really though tracing paper comes in handy sometimes!
