And thanks for all th hel and offering to work with me again

No problem, try these:

Look at the anatomy of human hands. Learn it really well and in detail. Bones, fat, nails, tendons etc, and try drawing some studies of those things. Use the medical/scientific standard to check your accuracy.

Practice drawing your own hands in different positions from sight. Don't draw what you think you see, draw what you actually see (dont draw a hand in an equal position, look at your hand and draw it). Use sighting and measuring techniques.

Draw some hands in photos using the grid method (google it it's really easy).

Just draw lots of hands, and REALLY work yourself on that accuracy. Use that anatomy knowledge, reference photos, and sighting/measuring in your practice and with practice you'll really learn how to draw hands without so much trouble. Like you memorize how to drive or write, it will improve and stick with you until it's second nature.

Apply these same techniques to body and face.

Artists have over many years pinpointed human body and facial proportions that you can learn and use to improve accuracy and draw without reference. Look them up.

Look up 'gesture drawing'. It's a technique with the purpose of improving drawing humans, giving character to the body, utilizing time for your work (both quick rendering and long drawing periods). It's a simple, loose type of practice that will help you improve alot, and fast. Professional artists all use this. You can draw using photos just as easily as a live model too.

If you want more explanation or some direction to take for these techniques or something else specific, ask away.

motivation? I waas supposed to be motivating? oops.

I mean from /fitness/ before, do you feel motivated? Have you figured out any work outs you wanna do yet? Anything of the sort?

Added jogging to my usual evening walks, but I haven't worked up to anything else yet.

Thinking that I'm just gonna aim for dropping the weight via diet and working up the jogging before I try a fancy plan.

Good girl, keep me updated on how it's going

Sure thing :) I will admit though I fell victim to some brownies today XD Only had two, and I gotta say, they were disgusting. I wanted sweet, but that shit nearly fuckin killed me :(

Haha it's cool, I just ate 5 packets of cheese and onion crisps today, as long as you burn off more than you put on, you can pretty much eat what you want :)

Yup :) I've generally just been eating about 2k calories a day, which is even i think, and I'm hoping as I jog more I'l be burning more and losing more too :D

Good stuff, if you feel confident in a few months, post pictures, I can't wait to see your results :)
