Simpson Hands-Male

Postby Morpheus306 » Sat Apr 22, 2006 5:29 am

Here are some hands in the simpson style.  These would work with Homer, male and female kids, and any fat character.  The other characters such as Flanders, Lenny, etc. have hands like these with slightly longer fingers.  The thing to rememeber is 'keep 'em plump.'  I'll do a female version later.

I agree, this can be really useful. When I was drawing Simpsons, hands were my biggest problem. Thanks :)

LISA: My God, they are stubby...


Yeah, hands were always a problem for me as well.  When I bothered to attempt drawing, that is.  *cough*
<Blomman> who was it that got married here?
<Alexander> Oh, that was a drunken night in Vegas I'd rather forget...
<Alexander> I mean... Graham and Chris.
<Blomman> really?
<Alexander> Yes.
<Blomman> not that i'm against that kind of thing, but isn't that like, uh, illegal in some states?
<Alexander> I could explain, but I don't want to. :D

* Alexander is trying to avoid becoming one-dimensional.
<Alexander> I've just had a terrible, frightening thought.
<Alexander> I've been fleshing out Mara's character, right? Giving her depth? In the meantime, what's happening to *me*?
<gkscotty> obviously she's siphoning off your "reality"
<Alexander> Dear God.
<Graham> She's a vampire!
<Graham> A lesbian vampire!
<gkscotty> pretty soon, it'll be Mara writing stories about Alex falling in love with Lisa.

Eyes have always been a problem for me. Oh, and hair! I can never seem to draw Lisa or Maggie with 8 hair points. Only 6.

Hands are always difficult to get right. Even cartoon hands. People see their hands all the time and intuitively know when a hand looks wrong in a picture - even if they can't draw them.

Which is my way of saying I find this very useful. :) Moreso than How To Draw the Simpsons, which had a few flaws...
In the world it is called Tolerance, but in hell it is called Despair, the sin that believes in nothing, cares for nothing, seeks to know nothing, interferes with nothing, enjoys nothing, hates nothing, finds purpose in nothing, lives for nothing, and remains alive because there is nothing for which it will die.

once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.


The hardest thing to explain is the glaringly evident which everybody had decided not to see.

Ooh, very good!  I never really draw in the Simpson/Groening style myself anymore, but these are excellent poses and helpful for thinking about cartoon character hands in general.  :)

Well, I must hand it to ya, those are pretty handy...

*silence*
:P

Since I've always in some way messed up hands, I usualy try to hide them; behind a gun, a door, under a table or somthing just to save the picture. But this should be really helpful. Nice one Morpheus :)
