Well I picked up my pencil again, and thought of a short funny fan-comic which I call "Foxtrot Fumble". of course, I had to draw people dancing.

what. the. crap.

there's hands, there's the body tilting I'm not used to, and since this is my first fan-art thing in a while, I'm actually having trouble with the hair!(oddly, the character I thought I'd have the most trouble with was actually the EASIEST!)

*sigh*

anywho, here's a list of stuff I hate to draw because they are friggin' hard:

-Hands and feet
-hair of a character that isn't my own
-bishounen eyes (Bishoujo is fine.)
-non-effeminate males
-DANCE MOVES!(you try it. esp. with a couple! Ballet and Figure skating would probably fit here too.)

post yours!

Hands and feet
Furniture
Characters that are moving (I'm not very good with it, but you can't ONLY have characters standing)
Circles, squares, triangles, etc.
Folds and wrinkles in cloth (I draw it but I suck at it)

My artwork can be good, but anything that requires precision or grace is something I'm not very good at. I prefer focusing on awkward, dirty drawings that have a strange, tormented look to them...warped and gritty and dark as s**t.

Hands and realistic people, really. With Renons I don't have to worry about the feet because they're really big blobby things, and hands are made easier because of the fact that they're aliens, but they're still DAMNED hard!

Faces of people while they're talking/communicating. Undrawable!

Anime/manga style. Its simplicity makes it an impossibility for me.

Hands are fun once you get good enough in them ;) (good enough doesn't mean perfect - it means that you draw something that looks even a little like hand :D actually hands are the hardest thing to draw for everyone.) It can be kinda depressing when you begin to draw them and they look like s**t XD
I hated to draw hands and now i love it.

I don't have problems with sepecific things, but i can't place them in the right place. It's very hard for me to place face on the head, cloths on the body, and the whole character on the paper so they won't be cut in half XD

Anything I can't draw.

The only thing I can draw is graphic stick people animations, cartoon people, and a few guns and explosions.

That's it. :)

The easiest way to COPY another picture is to turn the original upside down ! !

Try it with anything - it works - I promise ! !

Not sure why though ! !

ah, you guys reminded me...I hate backrounds as well...I think for my fan-comic I'm just going to take some real photos and blur them in photoshop.

I can't get perspective right for like...people walking down a sidewalk, frount view. gahh...>< Not even Poser can help you now.(Unless I spent a crapload of time on making it.)

Also, some expressions are kinda hard to draw for me. like a cocky grin, thinking...

Aspergers john .....try my suggestion about turning the original upside down then you are just drawing a SHAPE rather than, for example , an elephant ! !

They use it in art classes - I haven't just made it up :)

Yes. That technique is amazingly effective. It forces you too see the image rather than read it and translate it into symbols.

Sometimes my dead people look too stiff, so I have to put more curves in them to make them look more lifeless.
