Why do some artists pussy out of drawing 5 fingers?

Why do some artists pussy out of drawing 5 fingers?

>5 fingers
>5 books in the jewish torah

coincidence?

Really makes you think...

Sneed is the only character who has 5 fingers

Really expands my train of thought...

Because it is their style and it is easier to draw.

So they can't flip the bird

Fucker, have you ever drawn a hand before?

>character doesn't have a nose
>"why doesn't he have five fingers?"

I know autists are bad with faces but come on.

Cal Arts
And it's easier

Never say never.

>4 fingers is calarts
Go fuck yourself.

>CalArts for something that's been done since fucking Steamboat Willie

Fuck you.

Fuck you both

CalArts is inherently lazy.
They don't do anatomy
They don't do "On Model".

4< fingers is totally CalArts as what it teaches today

>Steven Universe is calarts trash
>4 fingers is calarts trash

>Steven Universe has 5 fingers
You guys are pathetic

SU changes their finger numbers all the time
When it's close, it's 5
But 90% of the time, it's only 4

Fingers are the hardest to draw

user I know that the art quality's incredibly inconsistent but you don't have to lie, they're almost always 5 fingers unless it's a far-distance shot. In fact one of the only things the show's fucking consistent on is having 5 fingers.

Oh shit
Sorry

I'm pretty drunk now.
I mistook SU for SvsFoE
That changed finger numbers.

Though given the laziness of typical SU animation, I wouldn't doubt them cheating that hard

Only D&M have four fingers.

It's cool man, at least you're not being a faggot and admit it.

I feel that the number of fingers can easily depend on the simplicity of the character designs. Sometimes with simpler designs, four fingers kinda work better.

In the long run, though, I don't really mind. I don't see it as an issue of laziness or the like, and simply aspects of design styles.

I honestly find it fun.

Weird that no one said this yet.

Five fingers only fit on characters with certain proportions. Most cartoons are designed for four-fingered figures.

Well Rebecca didn't go to calarts

It was to save time on production in early animation. simpler/less shapes = less time to draw each frame. It might just be a finger, but the collective amount of time adds up with thousands of frames. Also, as a bonus fact, the white gloves were added so that the hands could read easier when everything was black and white, including the black bodies of the characters, like Mickey.
