On a previous post I mentioned about this bit:
I also gave in to the temptation of buying this hand model for myself. It's the recent hit artist support item that I intend to make full use of for studies.
TL:DR
This hand model was last year's hyped up artist support item that were sold limited due to supply can't keeping up with the demand. It's like when PS5 went out and gamers started to hoard or lock in those pre-orders. Now the hype is slowly getting over and I managed to convince myself it's worth the "investment" for art studies than frivolous spending.
Worth the Buy vs Overpriced Paper Weight?
Provided you didn't bought the knock off version, the material is good, sturdy and the joints are flexible to do all the poses on the promotional pics. It's one round about way of saying that the item actually is what it is on the ads.
I think it's worth the price. The craftsmanship of producing this model and how it is specifically made to solve a problem for artists drawing hands.
I know it's easy to just look at your own hands for reference or maybe even some pictures online, but it's not the same "feel" as straining your eyes on screen while studying the reference vs looking at some tangible object. It's not a must need to study because obviously people can draw hands before this product ever existed but it's convenient for study.
Will I be drawing sexy hands?
Maybe. I thought about buying a foot model to learn how to draw for a specific audiences in the future.
The whole process was always about drawing cute anime girls.
