Aii... I seem to be unable to relax, and so I cannot draw for more than 30 minutes at a time. Very frustrating if you are trying to draw something you are a novice at. Damn you anime, for evading my grasp again.

Aii... Alas, I cannot draw hands, feet, or body proportions, but my eyes are excellent. I attempt to draw hands but they come out wrong, and I cannot draw feet and I get frustrated. My shoulders are often too large instead of too small, and I shall submit art soon. Damn you frustration, for giving me such grief.

Aii.... Gwuh? I need more VitaminWater, XXX if you may. I joined this guild seeking guidance, and when I saw the forum is was all critique and asking for avatar art. Damn you guild, for tricking me yet again.

Aii... I believe this will become habit. Help me, please.

Hmm, it's hard to point out where you actually need to work on without any drawings, but I'll try to be of help to you.

First, with hands and feet, start practicing drawing your own (specially your hands) until you can have a base knowledge of it's structure. (That's what I did xp )

For body proportions you can either try the famous stick man figure to put the base of the body or you can also use other methods like drawing circles where shoulders, elbows, wrists, knees, ankles and hips are.

I don't normally use the second method because up until now the stck man figure does the job.

Anyways, that's the basic stuff for proportions, but if you feel like trying new things, search up for reference pictures and practice with those until you get the hang of body proportions.

this is also a guild that helps members in need, and i think you are i dire need xd . as i can see (read actually) your generally having a hard time with anatomy. just look for sites in the internet that show basic guide lines and try to copy them (hey, i started out like this too and its better than trying to work in the dark) i'll give you the one i used :
mangatutorials
you can find several tutorials here, about the body anatomy, hands and feet and more.
and alas, once you've seen the tutorials its patience, patience, patience, and practice..a lot of practice. but dont worry, once you see your getting somewhere you'll start to enjoy it^^
feel free to pm me if u need any help with specific things, i'll reply as soon as i can if i have an answer. biggrin good luck^^
