summer_jackelDrawing hands is a pain in the ass...finding just the right reference for them because I'm making myself not go the lazy way and check a reference when there's any question, having them look wrong even though the anatomy is spot on and good when the anatomy sucks, all those complicated little joints that are in fingers...yeah, I know, I should have drawn a comic about NON-anthro animals, right?
So what on Earth made me design a character with very distinct black markings on the ends of his ^%$#! fingers????? Masochism, maybe, or I'm forcing myself not to be lazy on that reference piece. I think I wanted Russet to be easily distinguishable from other red foxes, and, well, something about drawing Russet became more lively and interesting when I knew that detail.
Similarly, I just figured something out about how to detail character designs on the leopards in 'Bone Shard' (which haven't been introduced, but they're coming) which makes me more excited about drawing them. Since they're coming up (damn, comics take forever) that helps.
More Bone Shard, soon.
