Catching the Snitch

[Ilse]

My new sketch yay! :)

I hope you'll like it, please tell me what you think of it. Comments that can help me improve my sketches are very welcome!

[Daily Propheter]

:wow:

I'm very jealous of you. I couldn't draw like that for my life. Amazing!! :D

:clap:

[Jinxie Cat]

That's really good! The hand looks so real! Awesome job! :tu:

[big_cho_fan]

That is a near perfect sketch! If the hand can look that good I can't wait to see another sketch of a full person.

[Oo bUMbLE bEE oO]

hey i love the hand!!! i always have to keep looking at my hand to draw it. What happens when i have to draw a RIGHT HAND!

[Ilse]

lol :)

I didn't thought about that...but I think it's logical to draw the action from the left to the right, if you know what I mean...can't help it :)

I had to take a look at my own hand now and then, just to see if it still looked like a hand :) , when I'm drawing I often get at a point where I can't see it that well anymore. Then I have to stop, drink some tea and leave te drawing alone for 10 min or so, then I can take a better look and improve the drawing.

It's great Ilse, the hand looks very real :)

[Muddgutts]

[Padfoot127]

Wowie, that's clippity clop. Great job!

[Inkwolf]

Whoa! Great picture! :)

[TheDarkMark]

Hey that's really cool. You do great pencil work. ;)

[FreyaCrescent]

That is really good, Ilse! The shading's perfect, and the shape of the Snitch is just right - great job! :D

[Hammi]

OO its a hand, nice job

[Malfoy'sMistress26]

It's really good.

Nice job on the hand! The proportions are really well done. Did you draw your own hand? I usually do that. :) A bit of helpful(?) advice: you might want to step up the shading a notch. It's just a matter of using a wider range of values-- in this case, you only have medium grays in this picture, so from a distance, it looks like it's almost all the same shade of gray. If you were to put in darker shadows (i.e., on the palm of the hands and in the creases, etc) and lighter highlights (where the light hits it the strongest), then that would dramatically improve the realism of this picture, and just make it more striking in general.

(hope that was an ok review!)

Well done- the detail and everything is fantastic :D

[Puffskein]

Knowing how difficult it is to draw hands, I'm very impressed. Looking forward to seeing more of your work!

Thank you!

That was a great review! I agree 100% with you, the problem was, I didn't have good pencils or paper to draw on. I just finished a new drawing, this time it's Harry's face (part of his face actually) and I made this one on some good paper with my new pencils. The shading is much deeper, and I can do so much more with these materials! It's great! :D

[Rose Hunter]

Very nicely done.

:D

Hands are very hard to do, but you pulled it off nicely.

[SilverStar]

Yes, hands are hard: very good job there!!

[HolsyEvans]

That's brilliant 10/10!

The toning is excellent and you have caught the shadows perfectly. I'm sure you could get someone to donate a right hand for the cause ;)
