Drawing Arms & Hands on Villains

Video Transcript

"All right, in this clip we'll be doing arms and hands. And we'll start with the man villian. Not going to go too crazy with him, we're simply going to give him regular little mad scientist coat here. So we'll make it relatively uncrazy, we're going to eventually put something in his hand maybe. So we'll just draw his kind of like that and out to the side. Give him something to hold onto later. Draw a fist there by simply doing the little thumb, little finger, definition there, and come down here and you don't even have to give him a lot of detail here. Just kind of put his arms down by his side. He'll just kind of stand there like that. I guess I want a button or two. You see? Moving on to beast man, who looks like he might overlap our mad scientist a little bit. But that is ok. Give him a hairy little elbow right there. His arms are going to be kind of thin. The things that are not going to be thin, is going to be his hands, which are going to be long, scraggly pointy clawed hands. They're going to look really crazy. So feel free to get in there and make them long and bony too. And its kind of ok to be kind of jagged and rough with this character, since his whole character is sort of jagged and rough. And anything that you do that sort of looks sloppy, can be just an artistic choice. Trying to make the character look all that much more crazy. Get in there and give him fingernails too, just quick little swoops down each one there. Make sure that he's got some scary looking fingernails. Yes, so this guys really starting to look good here. Starting to look really interesting. Moving on to our vampire. We're going to make him equally mysterious as the rest of his body looks so far. And put his arms mysteriously behind his flowing little robe here. Really just kind of fits the character I think. You can give him arms if you want to, make them kind of thin. Looks like they probably would be considering his size and his dimensions. But, you know, I think that looks good. Especially for an initial drawing. And the looks continue to evolve. So we'll move on to the next clip."
