But you're aware and share trains of thoughts, conclusions and have the bigger picture in mind.. which by itself makes your videos so much better than most. Thanks mate.

@koreander sim I don't do eyebrows-- lmao 🐢🔫

[@airitistic]

@koreander sim i just kinda draw little fat circles of eyebrows LMAO

[@quinnbenson6955]

@koreander sim I just draw a line and call it a day

[@mateenhajii]

@koreander sim no, the eyes definitely show much more emotion. how do you show someone tired with just eyebrows? what about angry? you may cross the eyebrows for angry, but the eyes and mouth definitely show much more emotion than the eyebrows. the eyebrows only aid in showing emotion, but thats only because they follow the shape of the eye, which is the main part of emotion. if i were to rank most emotion, it would be eyes, mouth then eyebrows. eyebrows do not show much emotion or they cant even pinpoint an exact emotion. someone could have a sinister face and the eyebrows would be crossed, and most commonly classified with crossed eyebrows is angry, so you would give the face a big grin, to aid in showing a sinister face. my point is, eyes and mouth are MUCH more important than eyebrows. hope this helped, goodbye.

[@justanothergabs4710]

@@mateenhajii without the eyebrows it's not only weird but it makes it a lot less expressive I'd say that the eye by itself and the eyebrow by itself are similarly limited to showing expression, unless you make the character frown or cry, but it's how you compliment the eye and the eyebrow, that's where you show your competence with facial expression Also a bit overlooked, shoulders also help show emotion quite a bit, combine with the hands it just compliments a lot to the expression

[@elijinn5044]

I really like how you showed references from not only real life but also ones with cartoony styles. I always hated hand tutorials that either don't show ways to apply the principles or are strictly hyperrealistic.

Even though I’ve probably been exposed to most of these concepts before, now that I’m actually tackling anatomy (after a lifetime of avoiding it) this friendly and straightforward video was great to sketch from (many pauses) and taught me a few things I doubt I’d ever really had quantified.

I have nothing but praise for the chapter structure in this video. More so than just teaching a method or a way to view the hand, the way you build on the previous chapter is so intuitive that by the time I finished studying one and moved to the next one I would already know what to do straight away. You went beyond just presenting information and taught a workflow. Thank you so very much for taking your time to make this.

Now I treat this like college notes. I’m literally writing everything down because I have a wall right in front of my desk where I keep everything I need and this is going straight up there. As someone who is striving to become a professional artist, this is one of, if not the most helpful tutorials on the internet. I’ve been drawing for nearly 4 years now as a manga artist hoping to work in the industry and whenever I watch shows and animes, I always question, even when I was a kid, “damn, how does that work?” And now whenever I do research on these kinds of things, it’s just like “wow, animators had to go through all of this..” and knowing that this tutorial exists can really keep my understanding of hand anatomy at its peak as I learn new techniques. anyways if you read to the end, congrats! have a cookie. 🍪

[@FTotox]

Some tips that helped me a lot with hands after analizing my common mistakes, and my friends' more common mistakes, are: - The four central fingers point more or less in the same direction, always pointing towards de middle finger when de hand is extended and the fingers clumped together -Thumb's tip reaches until de first half of the first phalanx of the index finger - This one's a bit tricky and might only work for me without any further graphic visualization, but: When drawing gesture, thumb's box shape points (Often times) sideways to the palm of the hand, and the joint of the thumb makes it move in a way like al the way from the rear side of the hand until the palm, and the angle is about 45º at a non forced opening from the index finger, 90º at most if it's forced. I hope this helps someone. Keep on the great work Marco, I love it. Everyone have a nice day :3

THANK YOU SO DUCKING MUCH! YOU DON’T KNOW HOW KUCH THIS HAS HELPED ME. I normally do very cartoonish-realistic art, heavily inspired by anime styles, and hands have always been my downfall. I’ve gotten pretty good at them, making them look not completely ridiculous, but I’ve had no training. I’m completely self-taught, no tutorials or anything, so things like that and anatomy have always been difficult. I also do not go to art school, and my art teacher for high school doesn’t really teach us these kinds of things in the same way, I guess. She does give helpful pointers, though, which I have incorporated into my art. I more kinda just see how other people do it, and replicate it in my own way rather than physically study anything really. This has helped me a ton, because it’s easy for a beginner-not like me to understand, and I can place it into my art super easily. Fists have always been the hardest, but now I feel like I am much better at them and don’t need to worry as much anymore about them. So thank you, and thank whoever chooses to read this super long comment. I have a real bad habit of rambling, haha. So helpful.
