Do you have any tips for drawing hands and feet? They’re super confusing to me 😭

With humans it’s a bit (just a bit) easier to figure them out, but for turtles… ugh. I look up references and stuff, but they still feel really confusing. Not sure if you have any tips or anything 👀

yes! I’m so glad to see you in my inbox lol

i do, actually!

I made this for a friend a while back but it’s still pretty accurate (I think), I still struggle with turtle hands/feet but hopefully this helps. sorry for my crummy handwriting

turtle feet are pretty easy imo compared to human feet, the proportions and shapes are a lot easier to work with. at its simplest, turtle feet can be broken down into two triangles, one for the base of the foot and one for the toes.

the toes are pretty long and there’s only two of them, so imo this is much easier to draw than a human foot, which has many small toes and it sucks and I hate it but I make a comic where people are barefoot a lot so I had to get good lmao

I noticed that the turtle’s long toes also make them more dexterous? like in that one scene where leo is tossing donnie’s gauntlet around and catching it with his foot, his toes curl around it quite a bit so that would lead me to believe they have more dexterity in their feet and could easily grab things with them.

the majority of movement in the foot comes from the toes, but the entire foot has some degree of movement as well. this is most noticeable in things like ballet where the dancer supports her full weight on the tips of her big toes, making her foot arch a lot more than a non-dancer’s would, but even high heels can showcase this as the bottom of the foot forms a sort of stair-shape to accommodate the shoe

the higher the heel is the more weight is forced onto the toes, which is why it can be difficult to walk in them. walking with flat shoes or barefoot allows for full articulation of the foot when propelling the body forward, whereas high heels restrict a lot of that movement and the wearer has to rely more on their toes

hands are fairly complicated, there’s much more dexterity and movement and it can be difficult to get the hang of. I tried avoiding drawing hands for AGES (I was the weeb drawing her crummy anime girls with their hands behind their back lol) but, like everything else, I had to learn how to draw it.

I don’t always draw them super anatomically correct (I often only draw two finger joints, not 3), I can/have/will fudge things to get the look that i’m going for, anatomy be damned, so imo it’s ok if it’s not 100% how the hand would move or how fingers would bend irl

turtle hands area bit simpler just because they have fewer fingers, but all the rules still apply for how the hand/fingers move & flex.

i’ve shared this before but my design for cj’s prosthetic actually showcases the different parts of the hand like joints and stuff and how they move fairly well (if I may toot my own horn). it’s not 100% accurate to how a flesh-and-bone hand/wrist would work but you can see how individual things work together to form the hand as a whole.

the main thing I wanna stress is not to get discouraged!! hands and feet are really complex, specialized body parts and they’re difficult to draw! it’ll may a while before you get the hang of them, I still struggle with them a lot of the time and i’ve been drawing for over 20 years

one trick I see utilized a lot is taking pictures of your own hands to use as reference if you’re struggling with a particular pose or can’t find a good ref (this can also extend to the whole body as well).

...And people thought Donnie was the bitter

Especially the snow episode I mean dude was all in it

Rottmnt Artbook storyboard redraw

Cw: Flickering Lights, Suggested character death, Graphic depictions of violence (Due to me making this have more gore than the og storyboard)

Original storyboard below

I'm going to turn this into a comic for open the floodgates as well, I'm just so excited to share this with you all, this is about 2 months worth of work, and I am so happy with it.
