Hello!
I'm working on a piece for someone on Gaia...
And I realize, now that I've spent a lot of time on it... that I have no idea what I'm doing.
SO.
Please note that this is the WIP forum and that this work is.. rough at best. I know it's sloppy in some areas but I'm more concerned with straight up positioning and other basics like that.
..Unless of course the issue stems from something like texture. :b
Here's the picture:

Here are the issues:
1) What: The "normal" hand. It's wonky at best.
What I think is wrong: Possibly the connecting arm position. Possibly the hand size. Maaybe the wrist.
2) What: The "ice" hand. It doesn't look like ice..
What I think is wrong: That I have no idea what I'm doing.
3) What: The mouth. I was trying to do a completely different perspective for the face but had to scrap the idea altogether. The mouth never ended up looking quite right after I changed it.
What I think is wrong: The upper lip. I'm not sure if it should be pulled up higher or what. Possibly just the surrounding skin area, mostly shading issues maybe.
What I'm requesting:
Any references, tips, just straight up saying what I'm doing wrong, or any other sort of critique is welcomed.
As a side note: I was thinking about making an official "reference/help request thread"... where people could post a submission sort of form, I'd link them in a main post, and if they resolve their problem I'd put that next to their link (so that other people may learn in the future)
This was before I knew this subforum existed so.. I'm not sure if there would be too many people requesting or if it's just a bad idea period.
Thoughts on that?
Thanks for reading! heart
