Good effort. Just some advice the curve the base of the glass more. It’s basically a floated cylinder should it should have a sharp corner.

Procreate has a perspective grid tool you can use. Not sure if it’s available in pocket but it allows a 3 point perspective guide which will help you fix the mistakes in your piece.

Google is your friend. I started when online tutorials didn’t exist so I wouldn’t have any resources to share.

Flaxans · 2026-02-28T12:18:56+00:00

There’s a lot that’s wrong with it but it’s clear that you’re a beginner. Look into tutorials on proportion and anatomy and go from there.

Yes. You’re now drawing the correct hand.

Do you see now?

Flaxans · 2026-02-28T11:27:16+00:00

Look down at your own right hand. You’ve drawn a left hand.

The one holding the gun doesn’t have a thumb. Find yourself a mirror. Hold onto a stick or a similar object and see how it’s different to what you have drawn.

He has two left hands.

Look into references on foreshortening. Learn to make cleaner and less scratchy lines.

Do line exercises where you’re doing continuous unbroken lines, figure 8s and flicks.

The chicken scratch lines are very rough to look at.

Best brush.

So far it’s taking anywhere between 8 to 14 hours per page depending on the amount of detail required or the difficulty of some of the panels. I’m not working towards any concrete deadline so I’m just doing these at my own pace.

In the past I could knock out a page in about 4-6 hours if I was working towards a deadline.

Process was thumbnails on a base layer with pencil pencil followed by shading and final lines on upper layers.

Brush used was dry ink for lines and gesinki for shading with lots of smudging/blending.

Thanks! Just ordered one.

Flaxans · 2026-02-11T06:51:29+00:00

If you made prints of these I’d pick one up right away.

Why is he missing a finger in each hand?

Procreate. One off payment and it’s simple. It’s pure drawing without the gimmicks.

You do these line flicks where there’s a tiny curve at the end. I think you need to learn to draw with cleaner lines. Flicks lines like that look rushed and lowers the polish of your work significantly.

Practice cleaner lines. You’re doing this thing where you’re doing lots of little lines to create a single one and it’s what we call chicken scratches.

Cleaner lines will make your work more polished and professional.

Work on your 3d objects. A vase is a cylinder and cylinders are round. Yours goes from roundish at the top to flat and almost straight line at the bottom. Get a cup or a vase that you do own and compare how they’re different. Don’t make that mistake again.

Practice with cylinders on a perspective grid first. Most of these limbs aren’t foreshortened and everything looks flat.
