for tips on hands remember the palm is curved outward at the knuckle (they are not straight blocks as you’re depicting them)

also, tbh, i think you’d benefit from using references and looking at more ways to break down anatomy. the references will breathe life and dynamics into your work as currently the products come off as stiff and lifeless. yes, they are studies, however studies still should have a degree of flow to them as you should practice incorporating it in all your works for future full pieces.

i similarly recommend that you don’t force yourself to work on this stuff as studies exclusively. try to blend your newfound techniques and skills in a finished piece or even a sketch that incorporates everything you’ve worked on. it pays off and it’s a good measure of progress

this is coming from a more intuitive artist, but looking at everything here makes me feel like there’s no real progress being made (but that’s just me)

I feel the same way tbh shit id love to know how to make em more effective

are you using references?

That or tutorials ( which is basically the same thing)

hmm . . . tbh i feel as though you’re not deeply “observing” your references

idk if this was the video that mentions it, but you can look up “artist observation” and get a load of videos on the topic ranging from an hour to a few minutes

the head propotions to the body are kind of off but if you’re going for more exaggeration it doesn’t matter. would make the arms a little longer and the torso longer too
