Im making a dungeon crawler game, but I was getting stuck on drawing the player. Here he is from the front:
(sorry for bad quality)
But as you can see he has no hands! Thats because i just wasnt able to draw anything that looks like a hand from this angle. i have made a side view that Im quite happy with, but from the back and front i have nothing.
Could anyone please try to help me?

Who says it’s bad? Besides yourself? I think it’s a good reference image of what character you want to make!

Wait ya. Now that I look at it. Why is the right eye a bit bigger for some reason. Even though it’s not makecode pixels

Well the main problem is when you put a sword in one hand and a torch in the other and add animation. The game is top down so the “camera” is at an angle. When the player walks, the arms move and i had a lot of trouble making the sword not look like its shrinking and growing, not sure how to explain that otherwise.

well i also feel like drawing the sword in the hand is difficult when i think about it. but why not strap the sword on his back? it will be easier to draw that way.

Well thats a good idea when youre just walking around but when youre in the middle of combat you usually dont put your sword away after each swing… Also i planned to have two “active weapons” you can swap withoud opening your inventory and i wanted to strap the one youre not currently using to his back.
