So remember when I said that my hand tutorial was a little too hard to pull-off yesterday...yeah this is why.

This is pretty much all my research I've done on hands in a nice updated package, and all I did to find this info was to look at my hands and analyze every detail for probably a little too long.

My research is freaking ludicrous sometimes.

Read at your own pace...'cause there's a lot to digest.

here's a high quality version of my reference pic. These types of hand gestures I take are great for practising how to draw hands due to how weird the finger placement is.

...Even I had issues trying to draw this one properly.

Was planning on updating my hand tutorial, but it required a lot more work than I thought, and I'm just tired. Maybe I'll do that tomorrow...No promises.

Time to stop being lazy and go back to my old routine before my mind has a chance to make-up its mind, and lock me in a state of drowsiness for a couple days.

For anyone wondering what this is, I've made a challenge for myself to draw everyday for one year without ANY breaks after being inspired by Telepurte's year-long animation challenge.

For anyone wondering where Days 1-245 are, they're still on my Twitter at the moment (@NothanyTPM). I'll be trying to bundle my whole collection so far somewhere here, and after this challenge is done I'll even include a sort of post-commentary for each day during the entire year.

History:

I've heard of this site since my childhood, but never visited the site often (I was more into MaxGames, MiniClips, and StickNinja). I've had this website in the back of my mind since 2017 (When Flash announced its discontinuation date of 2020), but didn't find a reason to make an account until recently.

One day in February during a COVID lock-down, I decided to learn how to draw by myself, and document everything I did for a year without missing a day (you know, for masochistic fun!). I've been doing this for well over half a year straight, and had no luck on Twitter, so I might as well try to migrate my art here and to see if I have better luck.

The Point:

I'm new here, and I have a backlog of over 200 drawings (and growing) for a year-long (and still on-going) project I'm doing, and I'd like to post it here. Half of it was done on paper, the other half was done digitally, all of them have notes written on them, and the first 50 or so drawings are crude scribbles (because I didn't know how to draw in the beginning).

I'd like to know where I should post these drawings, as it's quite different from the norm. The whole point of my challenge is to show this sort of evolution a potential artist can have when starting-out, with notes detailing how I felt, and what I've learned along the way. I'm also certain the first few days of my art challenge are probably going to get blammed due to how bad I was at drawing, but all of them are important.

I do plan on cropping-out the notes from a few drawings that I find are a good enough quality to post on their own.

I also want to know if I can make an album that compiles every drawing I've made in chronological order, so that way people won't need to scroll for an eternity to see my early beginnings.

Here's a quick sample of what I've done:
