I've been slowly drawing these days cause I'm taking care of my arm but!
I have a question for you πŸ™†πŸ»βœ¨
What's more complex to draw? Hands or Feet? πŸ‘€πŸ‘€πŸ‘€

Hands are more complicated shapes, but they’re still easier for me because I’ve drawn them more and they’re fun. I tend to draw people in shoes anyway so I never have to figure out the details on feet.

Hands, Feet don't have the insane range of motion hands have, and ppl also don't pay as much attention to them, so even if they don't look 100% correct, less ppl will notice 😬

FEET. I absolutely hate drawing them. Literally will spend longer redrawing those over and over than hands lmaoo- like, I can draw heels decently but when it comes to other types of shoes I'm hopeless ahaha
β€’
Hands.. I mean I'm counting paws over here and the front legs are just wacky.
β€’
Feet, it's like a very deformed hand βœ‹οΈ

Feet! I got used to hands🀭
β€’

Feet, the overall shape and specially the fingers are, at least for me, pretty complicated to get it right
β€’
Feet definitly

I heard that psychologically hands are harder to draw because since we see them all the time we will always see something wrong with them when we draw. But with feet you see them less so you can confidently approach it and find the shapes, the way you would any other object.

Hands because unfortunately palms exist and I can cover feet up with shoes. Though toes specifically are the devil to figure out.
β€’
β€’
Feet because if you asked me to I wouldn’t know where to start at all
β€’
Definitely have to say hands
I’ve figured out how to draw simple looking feet (now whether it looks like it connects to the leg or not…) but hands take a much longer for me to get right.

In all honesty, I’m just glad I’m actually drawing hands now (however scuffed they may be) and not just hiding them all the time… Character development!

Feet, they make even less sense than hands 😭
β€’
Both.

Ooh that's tough cause I simply avoid drawing feet but I'll probably have to go with hands, especially when it comes to poses I'm not used to drawing them in
β€’
β€’
Hands cause I don't know where to put the fingers, toes have a much shorter range of movement lol

Personally hands are still something I struggle in some poses/perspectives so I will say hands! πŸ‘
