Title: Where to the hands go
Post by: philbach on October 17, 2018, 09:41:49 AM
Speaking of channels, I did not get very much help with them in this photo.  I do not know where the hands go.  Are they on her lap or off to the side.  Just wondering here is the original and one rendering of it.   :-[

Wow Phil. Really nice! Was hoping to see this one here on the forum. Thanks for sharing.
It looks to me that the hands are positioned in her lap. Have you considered putting the dress texture back on the lower portions? Eager to see your final!

A bit like this Van Gogh example.

Just considering basic proportions of the human body, I don't think her hands can be anywhere else but in her lap. Her forearms would have to be extraordinary to be so long as to take her hands out of the image.

Great  job Phil, a beautiful portrait.
I wonder if it would work when you you extend the fabric of the top a little so the hands are not really visible?
Perhaps there is blue lining showing just a little in the openings of the crochet top?

Well before I looked at Hannie's rendering I produced this which I am posting now.  I cheated in the area around her left elbow.  To be honest, it does appear that her hands weren't crossed but extended as Hannie has shown.  Well I will post my rendering and see what you think.  The purple stuff and the ribbon on her left shoulder are somewhat mysterious to me.   ::)
