From the morgue - 'The Artist's Magazine' July/August 2012

Hey guys! Matt and I will be heading out for Anthrocon in a little over thirty-six hours or so. As you can guess, things have been pretty busy with the final con prep.

I'm going to see if I can't rig up a Picasa or Flicker stream for the blog so we can share pictures live from the con. While I'll have my phone with me, I'm not good at typing on one of those. So, my willingness to create full blog posts each day will be a little slim.

For the moment, I wanted to share a segment from the latest The Artist's Magazine - I haven't done a 'From the Mourge' post in a while. I'm trying to track down new resources to learn from, including magazines. (My eyes bother me after reading text on a screen for a while.) One of the things I've always had a hard time with is hands. This is a problem since hands are a big source of expression. So, any instruction I can find is very helpful. And luckily, one of the articles in this issue was about hands!

In the hopes of sharing useful information and educating others, here's the article below.










If you'd like to read more, or order your own copy, stop by The Artist's Magazine website. They have additional information, videos, and articles available.

Thanks for sharing a nice article. That one's very readable for a 'technical' article and should be useful even for more cartoony drawing (mine!) than you do.

Sure thing. I'd like to do more stuff like this. I just need to get into the habit. I'll be using this trip to come up with a schedule for myself. I need to fit study, comics, and commissions in my day. I used to be so good with schedules. I just got lazy I guess. :D
