draw like jeph/edumacate my drawings
jeph:
That manga is really fun to look at, fo sho.
The secret I've found for hands is to just take your time. The slower you draw them the better they turn out.
BSG:
Oh my God. I'm jealous! Jeph posted in your thread about comics!
Note to self: Mention Jeph in future thread titles
Sonet:
In my case, when drawing hands, they start to look alright after I've erased them about 20,000 times. And that's only being mildly hyperbolic.
mrtuesday42:

Great book! The drawings look batshit crazy but studying them really helps you get the idea of what pops out where and what is needed for a hand to look like a proper hand(and the rest of the body etc... kinda cheap too!)

All around learny goodness!(and free)
Finally I highly suggest taking a day(8 hours) and drawing 125 hands(yours, friends, anyones) Try to take about 1-5 minutes per drawing. By the 40th you'll be bored and tired. Keep going. By 80 you'll have no idea what other poses you can do(this is where friends can help alot). If you hit 125 congratulations! You will now have the ability to draw a hand 5x better than you did 8 hours ago. Also, you will hate hand drawings and possibly me for giving you the idea to do this.
I'll take a look in my junk drawer later and see if I can find some before and after sketches from 99
Good luck!
