Hands Commentary
Added 2023-09-20 19:48:53 +0000 UTCOne of the challenges I've set myself to in this comic is diving into rendering the hands in each panel before anything else. While I still have my references visible on the monitor, I am finding I am having to lean on them less and less, nor having to have complex base sketches for the hands. Viv's hands with the water bottle and Ellie's "Ta-da!" hands were 95% drawn from memory without having to glance at any refs or my own hands. This is incredibly promising. There was definitely a time where I was completely incapable of defining the form of a single hand in less than 5 minutes.
Okay, that's that. Making massive progress on Part 2, but boy some of these panels are iffy, haha.

Also, I'm paying more attention in this one to how Ellie's hands may realistically appear. She's got a wider palm/much more defined tendons, just a little more rugged in general. I have some spectacular scripts of wild things she can do on a cello so I figure there'd be physical evidence of that expertise in her lil grabbers.
