This has been sitting in my gallery since 2023 because I got frustrated lmao.

Some demonstration by drawing it out will be helpful for me if you guys wouldn’t mind?

🥺

( the character that I’m drawing is scout from a really old ass game called team fortress 2 )

It's already good I would say,

#

I can't find anything wrong with it

the only thing i can say is that the hands feel off at their angles?? like the wrists don't look correct, with his left hand it should be flatter at the top and bottom, and i think his right hand's wrist should be higher up, but I highly recommend using a reference for that one. drawing hands on hips is always unnecessarily difficult lol

to add on to that-- his right hand has 5 fingers. Could be intentional?? But that's def whats part of making it look weird. And I second the other hands angle being off. One obvious thing is that the thumb is bent at an impossible angle. It's like it's missing its middle joint.

that does look better except now they've given his left hand six fingers 😭

#

stop giving the poor man extra digits he deserves a normal hand

#

and his thumb on that finger is still missing a middle joint. Bending at that sharp an angle just isnt anatomically possible, which is why when ppl make peace signs they usually have their thumb crossed over their ring and pinky fingers

#

look up reference pictures on pintrest or better yet try doing it with ur own hand so you can understand the limits and extents of how hands/fingers can move :)

I don’t think they gave him an extra finger, since this is just a rough sketch he will have normal fingers lmao
