When drawing a foreshortened arm, i would make sure that the two parts of it seem like they connect at the middle joint, visualizing the arm unfolded or the character in another angle (with no foreshortening) would maybe help to maintain believability in your piece. The top fingers looked really good, except for the pinkie, who just looked a little bit rushed. The palm looked totally fine, the shoulder could maybe have been lifted up a little because of the position of the arm. For the skin texture, since there is no color or rendering and there is no need for complex shading or texture, you could add some stretch on the side of the pinkie for slightly more believability. The thumb's size was a little too big (maybe if you looked at your real-time hand for reference), and maybe you could put some sharper angles so it looks less off-stretched. Overall, the pose is really nice and I think what could really help you is building up your 3d space awareness for more believability. Good luck with your journey!

I can't really get how to draw good looking fingers and hands like how the skin wraps around the knuckles and just the general shape of the palm. My arm also doesn't look quite right. Possibly because of the foreshortening? Please give advice if you can.

Help for my childsbook

Hello, Sir Horus here, i am currently working on a childsbook and i would like to get some feedback on some of it. 1. I would like to get feedback on my digital watercolor style do you think it works? the singing bird and the beaver are digital. 2. I would like to get feedback on some of my value / scene conzepts. the first one is the one on top (the 3 onse are all for the same scene) for explanation it is a scene before a race, main characters are the rabit, a snail, and a lady bug, around them there are other insects and animals cheering them up and a freog as a referee. I canot seem to find a good composition for that scene to get the focus on the main characters. . the second scene with which i am mostly happy is a scene in which the snail sits on a branch with an owl with the lowering sun behind them for contrast. The last one ist the scene on the bottom left with the singing bird and her studens and the snail comming along to listen. I cant figure out how to have the focus on the snail firsdt then follow her line of sight to the singingbirds and then onto the students. in my current conzepts, the snail gets lost and focus is on the singingbird first. 3. I would also like to get feedback on the character concepts, mainly the rabit, beaver, owl, singingbird and the singingbirds students. Thank you in advance Greeting Sir Horsu

Three-point perspective

Hi everyone! I'm a self-taught artist, and drawing is just a fun hobby for me. I've never asked for critique before, but I'd love to get a professional opinion on my work.I tried using a three-point perspective for this piece. It didn't turn out exactly how I wanted, so I'd really appreciate any feedback.I also have one specific question. I tried to sketch some trees in the background with a pencil—they are barely visible, but they are there. How should I draw distant trees in a three-point perspective? Should they stand straight up, or should they tilt toward the third vanishing point (which is off-canvas)?Any advice on proportions would also be awesome. Thanks!

Horror oc practice

Practiced drawing my horror oc and what off here

Help!

Not focusing on proportions here, what i want is to be able to rotate any pose i want from imagination, from my point of view, rotating an individual box is reasonably easy, but when it becomes a group of three boxes depicting the three major masses, i feel the heart of the pose is lost, mainly because the relative position of the three boxes in spaces kinda changes, how can i improve until i make it to the point i can rotate any pose from imagination without struggling and without loosing the relationship between each individual box and the whole thing? Also, please point out all my mistakes on this sketch
