So so useful! Hands are my favorite things to draw. Most people say they are most difficult to draw but I don't agree. I have trouble with the detailing such as the lines in your palms or the crease made when move your fingers. Any suggestions? Do you mind taking a look at some of my drawings and giving some tips? It would be so helpful!

I'm glad you like the tutorial (sorry for answering so late). I'll think about another tutorial, but it depends on how much time will I have. Unfortunately, drawing is just a hobby for me... after 8h at work I prefer watching a film or read a book than drawing. That is sad...

axeheads [2010-01-23 01:53:00 +0000 UTC]

I hate to say it, this isn't exactly a tutorial on how to draw hands, its more like how to shade hands. :/ When you first begin, you already have a hand drawn.

Ethlinn In reply to axeheads [2010-02-23 22:09:54 +0000 UTC]

Maybe, you're right. It's rather something - how I draw hands. I'm can't make tutorial how to draw good sketch of hand, because sometimes I have a lot of problems to sketch a hand right.

Ah, I see...Still, though, the name sort of suggests otherwise.

SilverLance13 [2009-06-30 16:02:01 +0000 UTC]

probably the most detailed tutorial ive seen yet on hands (this is the first. xD)but if i were you i wouldve made the pinky a lil more bold. its not that far from the 3 fingers. it kinda distorts the illusion

ciesze sie, ze tutrial sie przydal! Ech, ale mam ochote porysowac... od miesiecy nie mialam olowka w reku ... a do konca sesji nie mam co liczyc na mozliwosc rysowania

Przydał się, pewnie^^ Choć nadal nie idzie mi tak dobrze, jak Tobie...
Poinformuj, jak będziesz wreszcie mogła coś narysować, będę czekała z niecierpliwością na nowe prace ;3

Ethlinn In reply to Fantasmagorya [2009-01-23 15:56:58 +0000 UTC]

ech, jak dobrze pójdzie to może coś uda się w połowie lutego, a jak pójdzie źle... ech, lepiej nie myśleć, bo się załamię :/.

A co do rysowania rączek, to tak naprawdę kwestia praktyki . Dobrym ćwiczeniem jest nie tyko rysowanie z natury, czy ze zdjęcia, ale np. z czyjegoś obrazka - można się dzięki temu dużo nauczyć (np. jak można cieniować, gdzie uwypuklać elementy itp.).

Love the tutorial, Wish I could draw hands as good as you. Also you speak Polish? It looks really cool in writting although I would have no idea how to say it hehe

Ethlinn In reply to DarningSocks [2008-10-20 20:35:48 +0000 UTC]

thanks for nice words . I'm glad you like my hands' drawings. I'm Pole. Polish language is really beautiful but a bit hard to learn because of grammar.

DarningSocks In reply to Ethlinn [2008-10-22 22:39:59 +0000 UTC]

It seems like, but looks really cool, never acctually heard someone speak it, so I don't know how it sounds... I really wish I could draw hands, I'm trying though! XD
