Description If this is in the wong category, please let me know XD

Okay, so, I've promised this thing to a lot of people at a lot of different times. And I've put it off, and put it off... and finally I was prodded enough to freaking do it! So here it is! My very own tutorial on how I draw hands. I tried to keep it simple while covering all the bases I could... and in doing so, pointing out and clearing up common mistakes I've come across.

I hope it helps! Feel free to download and share around as much as possible... credit to me is always welcome And as it says, if there's any questions you have, or something I didn't cover that you'd like to have cleared up, I will do my best to answer those for you!

If you fave this, thank you! I can't take the time to thank everyone one at a time, but I really appreciate it, and I hope it comes in... handy

I am so terrible at drawing hands. Lol. Also, my third finger is way longer than my first one >.> but that's still a good guideline for finger lengths

Yeah, there are always variables like that in hands. Β I didn't talk about it much in this tutorial because it was just for the basics, but yes-- some people have long fingers, others short; palm width and height can vary; fingernail shape varies largely; and so on. Β The more you draw hands the more you'll notice these sorts of things
