ok! My hand tutorial! -^_^- I hope this helps a lot I know I still have problems with hands and feet. They are the hardest things to draw if you ask me! Anyway continuing on

Step 1- Here all I did was do some line gestures. I drew a circle to represent the wrist then drew lines to the knuckles and I included the bends of the fingers and thumb. All this with just a line. I also included what some people like to call "Sight lines" These are lines that you use to represent angles like the angle of the line that is from one finger tip to the next.

Step 2 - This is my favorite part. Here I looked at the hands I was drawing and saw all kinds of different shapes! I sketched in all these shapes. That's really what the body is just a lot of shapes formed by bones and muscles. If you can see these different shapes then it helps! I also did what some people call "Cross Contour" On the arm in the middle. This is when you draw a line across part of a body in order to give it volume.

Step 3- Here is where I went through and have started outlining my shapes.How this isn't something that is easy to find. it took me a little while to find the right shape for the lines but the shapes help a lot. Another great thing to use these shapes for is shading although I wasn't able to get to that point with this tutorial I will cover it in another in the future!

-^_^- I hope this helps! Hands are really hard! I still have a way to go!
