i look into my eyeholes and what do i see? A HANDSOME MOTHERFUCKER MOTHERFUCKING LOOKING BACK AT ME

:V Do you have any tips on how to better draw paws/claws/monster hands?

To me this is a very broad question. I don't understand exactly what you're asking for. So I'm gonna throw some thoughts and hope that at least some of it is useful. X3

(btw I don't want to call this a "better way" to draw, it's just some tips and thoughts. I'm not an expert. :p)

There's no right or wrong way to draw monster hands and anatomy. You can do whatever you want with it, it's wonderful!

But if you want to know how I like to think when drawing and designing, here ya go!

(The anatomy can of course be completely different, these are just more human like hands as easy examples.)

For me, having an understanding of human hand anatomy along with animal paw anatomy is the key to designing and drawing believable monster/creature hands.

There are so many weird and cool clawed hands/paws out there! Getting inspiration from them and using them as reference is always helpful!

But remember to have fun! Experiment! Play with the anatomy or throw it all out the window, all approaches are valid as long as you're having fun! :3

Your roommate is a hulking demon, a former warlord with millennia of combat experience, and the picture of menace and brutality. Apparently, they were under the impression that you’ve been flirting with them “with the subtlety of a volcano” and you have NO idea how.

Some helpful phrases I think when I’m starting to spiral:

I am not my intrusive thoughts.

This is not an emergency. I can slow down and think about what my next step is.

I’ve been through similar circumstances before and survived. I’m going to be okay.

I won’t argue with irrational thoughts.

It’s okay that I’m having these thoughts. I don’t need to act on them.

I am capable of getting through this.
