42 - Introducing: The Third Wheel

I always feel weird drawing hands with only 4 digits when they count to three, because by the time they get to three, they're either in some weird order, or it looks like the character is waving.

But that leads me to my point where I talk about hands.

You may recall in that Podcast done by Skoolmunkee and Ozoneocean that Skool noticed that I hide hands. While personally I don't have a problem with hands, I am a very lazy artist, and I've learned to cut corners wherever possible. Also, I'm not really that great of an artist and women were actually one of my weak points.

So what she might've picked up on was me hiding the women, or their poses, because I was lazy/weak with them. Either way, it's important to identify things like this to improve as an artist. Are your hands often cut off? Challenge yourself and draw at least one hand in every panel of your next strip!

If you strive to improve chances are you will.
