First study in like... 2 months. Also learning how to paint with the razer nostromo [link] , learning the short cut keys so I was going a bit more slow. neeeeeed to work on proportions!!! and my values are off. did take me awhile to get that skin right, not sure if it is right. anywho, feel free to rip it to shreds in crits! I needs it!

I like the nice, fluid brushwork and how accurately you captured the flesh tones. To pick at it, i'll say the highlights on the thumb are a little harsh in comparison to the rest of the work and make it seem a little less round.

ah yeah I agree with the highlights. I was having a hard time with the fingers that I ran out of time for correcting the thumb and just kinda left it. I'll make note to make sure I evenly render better next time.

Hands are so difficult to draw. You portray it quite nicely.

It looks like the ASL sign for either "later" or the number 21.

Not bad! The modeling of the fingernails could use a bit of attention though. Remember that they are both a different material then the rest of the skin, but also reflect the deeper, more saturated red of that lower portion of the skin they sit on.

yep I looked over the nails for the last one. I didn't leave them for the last minute and took your notes into account when I did them. Thank yous!
