tips for artists and writers who cant figure out whats “missing”

rooms should be messy to some degree, lived in, and should have personality, even a clean persons room shows they lived there

clothes shouldnt look recently bought unless thats part of the story

no space is empty

no part of the body is perfect

quirks show in accessories, what pocket does the phone go in, headphones or earbuds, how are shoes laced

skin picking, nail fidgeting, bruises, chapped lips

quality of make up/self care

Planet Dolan is having a comic contest. This is my submission for it. 

When you’re drawing hands, use fingernails to show perspective, orientation, and form of the fingers. Don’t worry about the literal shape of the nail, unless it’s an important element of your character. 

A common mistake is to draw fingernails flat. They’re actually rounded. They follow that cylindrical top plane of the rest of the finger. The nail explains if the finger is coming towards or moving away from the viewer in space, and how much. A nail acts as a natural cross-contour line. Its left-to-right angle also explains how the finger is rotated. If you ever draw a finger that just looks off somehow, try redrawing the fingernail. It might fix your problem.

It’s a good habit to compare the orientation of the thumb’s nail to the rest of the fingers, since the thumb actually faces away from the other fingers. It’s a common mistake to draw the thumb parallel to the others and flatten out the whole hand. As the thumb reaches across the palm to grab something, it rotates to face the opposite angle of the fingers.
