This is how I draw hands. I simplify the shape and then later I will add the necessary details. It makes it easier to get them right. But the only way to learn how to draw hands is to just keep drawing them.
Have a chart I developed for visualizing the disposition of your character! This is partly inspired by a chart I saw of Aristotle’s Golden Mean, which is a system he had for developing good character, but of course, this is more about gauging a character’s traits than bringing them into any kind of balance.
For a printable PDF version of the chart please follow this link.
Hey y’all uwu ! With StormBlood FFXIV right around the corner, me and @yuyue-yue / @doorway-through, thought it would be helpful to offer a smol kimono garment guide! Both as educational enjoyment and to help any possible struggling artist! For more information, feel free to send @yuyue-yue any asks! She’s willing to help research and point folks in the right direction! This is only a starter kind of guide to help anyone with a few basics or figure out where to start your own research!
DISCLAIMERS (If you have any concerns please read):
i’d like to note that on male characters, however, the obi WILL sit lower about the waist on a yukata, whereas on females the top of it should come just below the breasts
also the fabric for a yukata is gonna be cotton – totally different from a formal kimono!
thank you from us both!
We apologize for not going over male yukata, and the fault lays mainly on me. I also apologize for not specifying more clearly this guide was on female kimonos. It is def important to remember the male and female styles are different and that the male obi sits right above the hips.
Obis worn by men are much narrower than those of women. The men’s obi is worn in much simpler fashion than women’s: it is wrapped around the waist, below the stomach and tied with a simple knot in the back (so the lower waist/above the hips! to clarify) ((x))
