Hands are my eternal struggle, but I'm really bad with legs too. I can never figure out the shape I want things to be. CSP has 3D models I'll lightly trace sometimes just for hands or leg shapes for tricky poses. I really suck with backgrounds too. Generally I really love drawing clothes and hair, they're my faves.

Hn. Likewise. I take a bit too much from my references, but I've gotten better about it lately. Part of it is my wrist is bad now(years of construction work) so any bid to save myself time, I use it. I admit I've traced from time to time, depending how hard a pose is to configure. Mainly around the hip structure. For some reason my brain does not compute the pelvis and femur with the muscle structures. Anything particular you struggle with?

I bought my tablet like 2.5 years ago at this point. I usually reference other art for poses or drawing style ideas, took the idea of not using anti aliasing and proportions i generally try to shoot for from artists I really love. I’m not really interested in animation since I draw very slow so it would be a nightmare for me, lol.

Nice! I have an XPPen too. I saved up and got the fancy 22 pro. It's been going four years strong so far. How long have you had yours? I taught myself from books like Leonardo da Vinci's codexes, so I never know if that's self-taught or not. Either way, I never took formal classes for it. Seriously the undo button is saving grace, to the point traditional art feels so alien now. Do you focus around human figures or have you ventured out into other realms? Have you tried animation yet?

I use a XPPen digital tablet. I’m entirely self taught, going off of advice and feedback from my friends. I didn’t really do any art before I bought the tablet. I have a pretty shaky hand so traditional is tricky for me. I need that undo button LOL.

Very nice. What sort of drawing tablet are you using? Are you as they say 'classically trained' or trial by fire?
