The Hardest thing to Draw

~bmttbrandon8 Jul 10, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

For all you artists out there, from traditional to mangaka, what do you find is the hardest t hing to draw?
For me, it's legs, beyond all doubt. I have no clue why either. Hands are a close second though.

I agree on hands! I think part of the problem, for me anyway, is that they look harder to draw then they really are. Looking at my hands I see so many countless lines and curves that I almost forget that they can be drawn with simple shapes combined together! I have a similar problem with leaves and foliage. All you have to do is create the shape of a tree's foliage, not draw every little twig and leaf. I still have to stop myself from overdoing it though.

Realistic looking things ><
It's too difficult, even my life drawing exercises in school have a cartoonish touch to them, strangely enough I've always been okay with hands though, even when I was younger.

oh and horses, I hate those creatures and where I live you're not good at art unless you can draw a horse for someone.

Landscapes, there's a weeping willow in my local park and I can never get it right

No doubt about it, it has to be hands. I have always had a problem with hands; however, it took a lot of drawing exercises. But it is still my weakest point.
