Norman Rockwell once said, “The viewer will forgive anything … except heads and hands.”
That is one piece of advice you don’t want to ignore because viewers often zero right in on those two key areas.
They often look stiff and tight … they look “off” and unnatural.
If the proportions are not accurate, the viewer will regard the work as amateurish.
Thankfully, there’s a way to impress viewers so you can stop feeling anxious about what they think and start painting heads and hands that look natural and depict correct movement.
